Position-dependent exact-exchange energy for slabs and semi-infinite jellium
(American Physical Society, 2009-12)
The position-dependent exact-exchange energy per particle epsilon(x)(z) (defined as the interaction between a given electron at z and its exact-exchange hole) at metal surfaces is investigated, by using either jellium slabs ...
Exchange-Correlation Hole of a Generalized Gradient Approximation for Solids and Surfaces
(American Physical Society, 2009-02)
We propose a generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for the angle- and system-averaged exchange-correlation hole of a many-electron system. This hole, which satisfies known exact constraints, recovers the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof ...
Basque writing in the Iberian context: brief notes on the translations of Basque literature
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2009)
After considering the function of translated literature (from Basque, into Basque) in our literary system, the article analyzes the relations between the literatures of Spain (Catalan, Galician and Spanish). Some reflections ...
A multi-gene analysis strategy identifies metabolic pathways targeted by trans-10, cis-12-conjugated linoleic acid in the liver of hamsters
(Cambridge University Press, 2009-08-28)
In mice, hepatic functions can be greatly affected by dietary trans-10, cis-12-conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). However, this phenomenon has been less documented in hamsters. In the present study, male hamsters were fed two ...
Marx´ Critique of the Currency Principle
(2009)
The goal of this paper is to rescue the critique of Marx of the Currency Principle from its current oblivion. The ideas of Marx are extraordinarily interesting both from a theoretical and from a practical standpoint, as ...

This document presents the current draft of KAF: Kyoto Annotation
Framework to be used within the KYOTO project. KAF aims to provide a reference
format for the representation of semantic annotations.
Predicting Betas: Two new methods
(2009)
Betas play a central role in modern finance. The estimation of betas from historical data and their extrapolation into the future is of considerable practical interest. We propose two new methods: the first is a direct ...
Systematic review of pharmacological treatments in fragile X syndrome
(BioMed Central, 2009-10-13)
Background: Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is considered the most common cause of inherited mental retardation. Affected people have mental impairment that can include Attention Deficit and/or Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), ...
The COMT Val158 Met polymorphism as an associated risk factor for Alzheimer disease and mild cognitive impairment in APOE 4 carriers
(BioMed Central, 2009-09)
Background: The aim of this study is to examine the influence of the catechol-O-methyltranferase (COMT) gene (polymorphism Val158 Met) as a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment of amnesic ...
Choice experiment study on the willingness to pay to improve
(2009-06)
Modern forms of energy are an important vehicle towards poverty alleviation in rural areas of developing countries. Most developing countries’ households heavily rely on wood fuel which impact their health and social–economic ...
