Tobacco control in 30 European countries from 2005 to 2007 with an update in 2010
(Instituto Vasco de Criminología, 2010)
[EN] In this article the results of the surveys about the tobacco control activity in European countries
made in 2005 and 2007–using the Tobacco Control Scale (TCS)– are described. The most effective tobacco control ...
Fixed Point and Best Proximity Theorems under Two Classes of Integral-Type Contractive Conditions in Uniform Metric Spaces
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
This paper investigates the existence of fixed points and best proximity points of p-cyclic self-maps on a set of subsets of a certain uniform space under integral-type contractive conditions. The parallel properties of ...
Global Stability of Polytopic Linear Time-Varying Dynamic Systems under Time-Varying Point Delays and Impulsive Controls
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
This paper investigates the stability properties of a class of dynamic linear systems possessing several linear time-invariant parameterizations (or configurations) which conform a linear time-varying polytopic dynamic ...
Guided pollards in the Basque Country (Spain) during the Early Modern Ages
(Wildtrack Publishing, 2010)
Incompatibility between the rate of forest exploitation and the voracity of production activities and the biological rhythms and growth rate of leafy species was one of the major problems facing humanity in the field of ...
Extended ageing time and temperature effects on quality of sub-primal cuts of boxed beef
(Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2010-09)
[EN]Most of the information indicating ageing improves tenderness has been collected on the loin and rib-eye muscles over relatively short ageing times, assuming that all muscles will react similarly. In the present study, ...
Spread of a highly mucoid Streptococcus pyogenes emm3/ST15 clone
(BioMed Central, 2010)
Background
Hyaluronic acid capsule plays a key role in Streptococcus pyogenes virulence. Circulation of mucoid or highly encapsulated strains has been related to rheumatic fever epidemics and invasive disease in several ...
Biosimilars – the way forward
(Cogora Limited, 2010-05)
Biotechnology represents a considerable opportunity, but also a challenge, given the complexities and risk associated with the
development and manufacture of biological medicines.
On a Generalized Time-Varying SEIR Epidemic Model with Mixed Point and Distributed Time-Varying Delays and Combined Regular and Impulsive Vaccination Controls
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
This paper discusses a generalized time-varying SEIR propagation disease model subject to delays which potentially involves mixed regular and impulsive vaccination rules. The model takes also into account the natural ...
A Minimal Model of Metabolism-Based Chemotaxis
(Public Library of Science, 2010-12-02)
Since the pioneering work by Julius Adler in the 1960's, bacterial chemotaxis has been predominantly studied as metabolism-independent. All available simulation models of bacterial chemotaxis endorse this assumption. Recent ...
Stable Iteration Procedures in Metric Spaces which Generalize a Picard-Type Iteration
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
This paper investigates the stability of iteration procedures defined by continuous functions acting on self-maps in continuous metric spaces. Some of the obtained results extend the contraction principle to the use of ...
