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 ...
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, ...
Scientific theories as intervening representations
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2006)
In this paper some classical representational ideas of Hertz and Duhem are used to show how the di-chotomy between representation and intervention can be overcome. More precisely, scientific theories are reconstructed as ...
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 ...
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 ...
Problems when generating virtual models representing real objects: Hondarribia walls
(2006)
[EN] This report shows an example of virtual modelling applied to a heritage construction, the walls of the city of Hondarribia (Gipuzkoa, Spain). Therefore, it is not a model recreating a building upon hypothetical data ...
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 ...
Prevalence and deteminants of obesity in Spanish children and young people
(Cambridge University Press, 2006-08)
Prevalence estimates of obesity in a national random sample of Spanish children and young people are presented in this paper, defined by age- and sex-specific BMI national reference standards for the 85th percentile ...
Nutrition risk in the child and adolescent population of the Basque country: the enKid Study
(Cambridge University Press, 2006-08)
Cross-sectional population studies provide valuable information for nutrition surveillance and planning intervention strategies. The enKid Study is the largest nutrition survey on the child and adolescent Spanish population ...
