Gene Expression Profiling in Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy 2A
(Public Library of Science, 2008-11-18)
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A (LGMD2A) is a recessive genetic disorder caused by mutations in calpain 3 (CAPN3). Calpain 3 plays different roles in muscular cells, but little is known about its functions or in ...
Randomised, crossover clinical trial, in healthy volunteers, to compare the systemic availability of two topical intranasal budesonide formulations
(BioMed Central, 2008-06)
Background: Budesonide has a long history as intranasal drug, with many marketed products. Efforts should be made to demonstrate the therapeutic equivalence and safety comparability between them. Given that systemic ...
Suboptimal regulation of a class of bilinear interconnected systems with finite-time sliding planning horizons
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2008)
This paper focuses on the suboptimization of a class of multivariable discrete-time bilinear systems consisting of interconnected bilinear subsystems with respect to a linear quadratic optimal regulation criterion which ...
Antibody Complementarity-Determining Regions (CDRs) Can Display Differential Antimicrobial, Antiviral and Antitumor Activities
(Public Library of Science, 2008-06-11)
Background: Complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) are immunoglobulin (Ig) hypervariable domains that determine specific antibody (Ab) binding. We have shown that synthetic CDR-related peptides and many decapeptides ...
The influence of cultural identity on the WTP to protect natural resources: some empirical evidence
(2008)
This paper shows that cultural identity may have considerable influence on the WTP to protect natural resources. The Basque Country, the region with the highest ethnic homogeneity in Europe, serves as an example to illustrate ...
Selection of the number of frequencies using bootstrap techniques in log-periodogram regression
(2008-02)
The choice of the bandwidth in the local log-periodogram regression is of crucial importance for estimation of the memory parameter of a long memory time series. Different choices may give rise to completely different ...
Semantic Web Technology for Agent Communication Protocols.
(Springer, 2008)
One relevant aspect in the development of the Semantic Web framework is the achievement of a real inter-agents communication capability at the semantic level. The agents should be able to communicate and understand each ...
Use of semantic technology to describe and reason about communication protocols
(SciTePress, 2008)
Nowadays there is a tendency to enhance the functionality of Information Systems by appropriate information agents. Those information agents communicate through communication acts expressed in an Agent Communication Language. ...
A comparative study of the field strength prediction methods in the MW band
(IET, 2008-10-23)
[EN] The recently developed digital radio systems for the MW band require accurate field
strength prediction algorithms for coverage estimation. This paper presents a
comparison of the estimation accuracy provided by the ...
Biodiversity of groundwater oligochaetes from a karst unit in northern Iberian Peninsula: ranking subterranean sites for conservation management
(Springer, 2008-03-05)
El presente estudio sugiere que la unidad kárstica de Santa Eufemia-Ereñozar en el norte de la Península Ibérica es un hotspot de biodiversidad para los oligoquetos de aguas subterráneas, debido a (1) la presencia de un ...
