New Uses for Old Needs in the Diaspora: Watching Basque Television in Latin America
(Macquarie University, 2006)
The transformations occurring in the communications media are resulting in the emergence of new uses amongst diasporic and migratory groups. An example of this is found in satellite television, which makes the regular, ...
Development of appropriateness explicit criteria for cataract extraction by phacoemulsification
(BioMed Central, 2006-03)
Background: Consensus development techniques were used in the late 1980s to create explicit criteria for the appropriateness of cataract extraction. We developed a new appropriateness of indications tool for cataract ...
Stability and assignment of spectrum in systems with discrete time lags
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2006)
The asymptotic stability with a prescribed degree of time delayed systems subject to multiple bounded discrete delays has received important attention in the last years. It is basically proved that the alpha-stability ...
Fatty acid composition of skeletal muscle and adipose tissue in Spanish infants and children
(Cambridge University Press, 2006-01)
There is a relationship between the fatty acid profile in skeletal muscle phospholipids and peripheral resistance to insulin in adults, but similar data have not been reported in infancy and childhood. The objective of ...
Adaptive control of time-invariant systems with discrete delays subject to multiestimation
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2006)
This paper deals with a robustly stable adaptive pole-placement-based controller for time-delay linear systems with unknown point delays within known intervals of sufficiently small lengths under unmodeled dynamics and ...
Stabilization criteria for continuous linear time-invariant systems with constant lags
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2006)
Some criteria for asymptotic stability of linear and time-invariant systems with constant point delays are derived. Such criteria are concerned with the properties of robust stability related to two relevant auxiliary ...
Analysis of latent tuberculosis and mycobacterium avium infection data using mixture models
(BioMed Central, 2006-09-28)
Background: Estimation of the frequency of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is difficult in areas with low tuberculosis infection rates and high exposure to non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), including BCG vaccination. ...
Risk factors for hospitalization due to respiratory syncytial virus infection among infants in the Basque Country, Spain
(Cambridge University Press, 2006-06)
This study analysed the role of several risk factors for hospitalization due to community-acquired, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. The risk factors detected in infants hospitalized for RSV infection in the ...
A Delphi study on motivation for ISO 9000 and EFQM
(Emerald, 2006)
[EN] Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse which are the motivations for implementing two of the most important models for Quality Management practice popularized in recent years – ISO 9000 and EFQM ...
trans-10, cis-12 Conjugated linoleic acid inhibits lipoprotein lipase but increases the activity of lipogenic enzymes in adipose tissue from hamsters fed an atherogenic diet
(Cambridge University Press, 2006-06)
The aim of the present work was to investigate the effects of trans-10,cis-12conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on the activity and expression of lipogenic enzymes and lipoprotein lipase (LPL), as well as on the expression of ...
