On monotonic core allocations for coalitional games whith veto players
(2007-10)
We characterize a monotonic core concept defined on the class of veto balanced games. We also discuss what restricted versions of monotonicity are possible when selecting core allocations. We introduce a family of
monotonic ...
Geolinguistic Regions and Diasporas in the Age of Satellite Television
(SAGE Publications, 2007)
Studies of the globalization processes in the communications media have frequently emphasized the planetary-scale diffusion of the dominant cultural and linguistic models. This is undoubtedly a clearly observable tendency ...
Inability of Escherichia coli to Resuscitate from the Viable but Nonculturable State
(Symposium on Aquatic Microbial Ecology, 2007-09)
After induction of the viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state in Escherichia coli populations, we have analysed abiotic and biotic factors suggested to promote the resuscitation process. The response to the stressing ...
Validation of a screening questionnaire for hip and knee osteoarthritis in old people
(BioMed Central, 2007-08-23)
Background: To develop a sensitive and specific screening tool for knee and hip osteoarthritis in the general population of elderly people.
Methods: The Knee and Hip OsteoArthritis Screening Questionnaire (KHOA- SQ) was ...
Oscillatory behavior in linear difference equations under unmodeled dynamics and parametrical errors
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2007)
This paper investigates the presence of oscillating solutions in time-varying difference equations even in the case when there exist parametrical errors (i.e., errors in the sequences defining their coefficients) and/or ...
Rapid determination of total CLA concentration in beef fat
(Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2007-06)
[EN]Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has many potential healthful properties, and beef is naturally enriched with CLA. Simple and rapid methods to measure total CLA were investigated to enable sorting of beef carcasses with ...
On the properties of reachability, observability, controllability, and constructibility of discrete-time positive time-invariant linear systems with aperiodic choice of the sampling instants
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2007)
This paper investigates the properties of reachability, observability, controllability, and constructibility of positive discrete-time linear time-invariant dynamic systems when the sampling instants are chosen aperiodically. ...
Marked decrease in the incidence and prevalence of hepatitis A in the Basque Country, Spain, 1986–2004
(Cambridge University Press, 2007-04)
The aim of this study was to determine changes in the epidemiology of hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection in the Basque Country, Spain, and to evaluate their implications for vaccination strategies. A total of 1356 persons ...
About K-Positivity Properties of Time-Invariant Linear Systems Subject to Point Delays
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2007)
This paper discusses nonnegativity and positivity concepts and related properties for the state and output trajectory solutions of dynamic linear time-invariant systems described by functional differential equations subject ...
Phase theory, case and relative clauses
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2007)
The goal of this paper is to put forward an analysis of relative clauses which builds on Pesetsky and Torrego's (2001) proposal concerning the C-T connection and the nature of Case. In so doing, a unitary answer to two ...
