Reliabilität der diagnostischen Klassifikation

1993

Das Ziel dieser der Untersuchung der Validitat vorgeschalteten Reliabilitatsstudie ist es, den Gebrauch strukturierter Interviews zu legitimieren. Die Hypothese ist, das jedenfalls fur Subtypen depressiver Syndrome durch ein strukturiertes Interview eine hohere Reliabilitat erzielt werden kann als durch die Verwendung von Checklisten.

Influence of the concentration of oxygen on the swimming path of Brachionus plicatilis (Rotifera)

1993

Brachionus plicatilis females were maintained for > 24 hours in water where the concentration of oxygen was precisely controlled (spherical flasks with ≥ 6 mg 1−1 or < 0.5 mg 1−1; food = dead Tetraselmis sp.). Each female was randomly taken from one flask and quickly placed in an observation chamber containing the same experimental conditions. The swimming path was videotaped (5 minutes); then the size of the female was measured. The tape was analyzed by automatic tracking (25 x, y coordinates of the center of the animal, in a 512 × 512 pixels space). The swimming path was analyzed for ~45 females in both treatments. The speed (mm s−1 body length−1) was calculated for all trajectories, or o…

Équipements et sports collectifs de haut niveau

1993

Le sport de haut niveau est porteur de deux significations essentielles : il est l'expression la plus achevée de la compétition sportive, et pour la collectivité dans laquelle il s'insère, il représente un élément important d'identification sociale. Très fréquemment, il s'assimile à un spectacle dont les conditions de production sont décisives pour sa promotion et sa pérennité. Aux considérations purement techniques du sport, doivent s'ajouter les éléments qui permettront sa médiatisation auprès du public, garant de l'intérêt des sponsors et, partant, de l'équilibre économique d'un club.

Transfer of powers and reallocation of the social capital available to junior governments

1993

The article starts from the assumption that the production of junior governments in sub-central jurisdictions such as the department of the region is related both to the powers or resources that they receive from the central government and to the social capital which is available to them. A model is proposed in which both elements are considered as factors o f production. The second being able to move only slowly across levels of jurisdiction, the central government is itself unable to transfer rapidly powers or resources from one level to another without running the risk of an efficiency loss of the whole which it would find unacceptable in terms of electoral support.

Crystal structures and absolute configurations of dexmedetomidine and its tosyl derivative

1993

Abstract X-ray diffraction data were used to determine the absolute configuration of dexmedetomidine, a new member of a class of drugs with 4-arylalkyl-1H-imidazole structure. When the anomalous effect of the parent compound proved to be too small for determination of the absolute configuration the tosyl derivative, with the same configuration, was synthesised and used as a reference. Stability of the stereogenic center was verified by HPLC technique. The absolute configuration of the compounds is S. Complete crystal structures are reported for both compounds. Co radiation was used for measurements.

Fundamentos científicos de la rehabilitación tras la sustitución intraarticular del ligamento cruzado anterior

1993

Hay pocos aspectos de la rehabilitación en nuestra especialidad que sean tan complejos y controvertidos como la rehabilitación después de la sustitución intraarticular del ligamento cruzado anterior (LCA). La tendencia actual es utilizar protocolos de rehabilitación acelerada y rápido funcionalismo, todo lo cual está en relación directa con el avance en la investigación sobre el comportamiento biológico de los implantes, una mayor sofisticación en la técnica quirúrgica y los adelantos en las técnicas de rehabilitación. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar no protocolos concretos, sino los problemas que plantea la cirugía del LCA y como minimizarlos en la medida de lo posible, protegiendo…

Determination of titratable acidity and ascorbic acid in fruit juices in continuous-flow systems

1993

Two continuous-flow systems for the determination of titratable acidity and ascrobic acid in fruit juice samples are described. The assemblies permit on-line dialysis of analytes prior to the reaction step, thus improving selectivity and performing sample dilution. Flow systems are built with a channel carrying the donor phase (sample in both determinations) and another channel carrying an acceptor phase, both of them entering the dialyser. The outcoming stream transporting the dialysed sample fills the valve loop, permitting its injection into a carrier stream which continuously passes through the spectrophotometric detector. For the titratable acidity, acceptor phase and carrier are disti…

Ito and Stratonovich integrals for delta-correlated processes

1993

Abstract In this paper the generalization of the Itd and Stratonovich integrals for the case of non-linear systems excited by parametric delta-correlated processes is presented. This generalization gives a new light on the corrective coefficients in the stochastic differential equations driven by parametric delta-correlated processes. The full significance of these corrective terms is evidenced by means of some examples.

Elecciones y vida política en España entre 1902 y 1923: persistencias y cambios

1993

El análisis comparativos de la vida política existente en los distritos electorales de provincias tan dispares como Cáceres, Valencia y Barcelona permite introducir matices al modelo interpretativo en curso. Así, los movimientos huelguísticos, pongo por ejemplo, son significativos del tipo de entorno político en que se desarrollan las elecciones en Barcelona en 1902. Algunas provincias tienen auténticas campañas electorales, sembradas de manifiestos que reivindican un ideario o unos intereses materiales de índole diversa. El estudio electoral, y la vida política viene a mostrar que sí que hubo cambios relevantes en el sistema lo cual nos ayuda a comprender la crisis en que se vio sumido en …

A model for planktic foraminiferal shell growth

1993

In this paper we analyze the laws of growth that control planktic foraminiferal shell morphology. We assume that isometry is the key toward the understanding of their ontogeny. Hence, our null hypothesis is that these organisms construct isometric shells. To test this hypothesis, geometric models of their shells have been generated with a personal computer. It is demonstrated that early chambers in log-spirally coiled structures cannot follow a strict isometric arrangement. In the real world, the centers of juvenile chambers deviate from the logarithmic growth curve. Juvenile stages are generally more planispiral and contain more chambers per whorl than adult stages. These traits are shown …

Katalizatory polimeryzacji olefin na podstawie [MgCl2(THF)2] i alkoksylowych pochodnych tytanu

1993

Alkoxy derivatives of titanium supported on [MgCl2(THF)2] and activated with organoaluminium compounds polymerize ethylene under low pressure in high yields. In propylene polymerization, however, they show low activity and low isospecificity. Attempts were made to elucidate the correlation between the results of polymerization and the inductive effects of alkoxy ligands in titanium components of catalysts. The effect of an OR-ligand nature on the process of ethylene polymerization was studied by means of a gradual substitution of OR ligands by chlorine atoms in the titanium component of the catalyst. It was found that an increasing positive chaige on titanium atom (in the active center) fav…

Historicism: Some Thoughts on Life-World

1993

More than three decades ago, Walter Biemel read a paper at the Third Colloquium of Philosophy at Royaumont on “The Decisive Phases in the Development of Husserl’s Philosophy” that seemed to be definitive.1 Notwithstanding the great value of the facts and reflections that he provided, and the numerous studies devoted afterwards to the same problem, it is not easy to fix different stages in Husserl’s work. This difficulty is increased by the lack of a strict synchrony between the works that Husserl himself published and those that remained unpublished after his death and have been laboriously recovered by his disciples. Actually, in manuscripts belonging to early moments in his life we find t…

Assessment of frontal lobe functioning in schizophrenia and unipolar major depression.

1993

This study has used neuropsychological tasks – Wisconsin Card Sort (WCST), Trail Making (TMT) A and B, Verbal Fluency, Digit Span – to compare acute and currently off-medication schizophrenics, patients with unipolar nonpsychotic major depression and healthy controls. Both patient groups differed significantly from healthy controls in their neuropsychological performance. Furthermore there was only little (quantitative) difference between schizophrenics and depressed patients in the frontal lobe associated tasks: WCST, TMT and Verbal Fluency. Depressed patients tended to perform worse than schizophrenics on Digit Span, a task hypothesized to involve other than frontal areas of the brain. Al…

Phase Transitions in Classical Fluids and Fluids with Internal Quantum States in Two Dimensions: Computer Simulations and Theory

1993

1)We investigate the properties of a model fluid whose molecules have classical degrees of freedom in two dimensions and two internal quantum states. The attractive interactions are “turned on” when the internal states are hybridized, corresponding to the molecules acquiring a “dipole” moment. The phase diagram of this system in the temperature- density plane is investigated by a combination of path integral Monte Carlo and block size analysis techniques. The results are compared with mean- field—theory predictions. 2) We present molecular dynamics simulation results of quenches into the unstable region of a two-dimensional Lennard-Jones system. The evolution of the system from the non-equi…

Different kinds of solid solutions in the V2O5-ZrSiO4-NaF system by sol-gel processes and their characterization

1993

Abstract In the V2O5-ZrSiO4-NaF system, three kinds of substances have been identified by sol-gel methods depending on the V2O5 amounts in the composition. Their characterization by X-ray diffraction, measurements of unit cell parameters, UV-visible (UV-V) spectroscopy, differential thermal analysis and lab colour parameter determination allow the consideration of three kinds of solid solution in the zircon lattice: (a) V+5,V+4-ZrSiO4, thermally stable and with a deep green colour; (b) V+4-ZrSiO4, thermally stable and blue coloured, made by the sol-gel method and with V2O5 amounts lower than 0·03 mol per formula weight; and (c) Na+,F−,V+4-ZrSiO4, a solid solution with a deep blue-turquoise …

Lipid composition of the vacuolar membrane of Acer pseudoplatanus cultured cells

1993

Tonoplast was prepared by osmotic lysis of a pure vacuolar fraction isolated from protoplasts derived from Acer pseudoplatanus cultured cells. After their extraction, neutral and polar lipids were separated by a thin layer chromatography. Phospholipids, glycolipids and neutral lipids represented 44.5%, 39.1% and 16.4% of total lipids, respectively. Sterols (glycosylated plus non-glycosylated forms) constituted 30.8% of total lipids; 75% of sterols were glycosylated. The most prominent lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine (20.8%), phosphatidylcholine (13.5%), ceramide monohexoside (12.8%), steryl glycoside (12.2%) and acylated steryl glycoside (10.9%). Glucose was the only sugar released by …

Teatre en català a València durant el franquisme: crisi d'un model escènic

1993

The performance of commercial drama in Catalan was resumed in Valencia in 1945, once the harshest moment of the post-war was over. But the genre did not recover the vivacious spirit it had presented Up to 1936. The process of linguistic replacement, the stagnation of writers' aesthetic formulae, the change of habits in audiences and other factors practically resulted in its dissapearance off stage.

μ-e conversion in nuclei and Z' physics

1993

Together with the existence of new neutral gauge bosons, models based on extended gauge groups (rank > 4) often predict also new charged fermions. A mixing of the known fermions with new states with exotic weak-isospin assignments (left-handed singlets and right-handed doublets) will induce tree level flavour changing neutral interactions mediated by Z exchange, while if the mixing is only with new states with ordinary weak-isospin assignments, the flavour changing neutral currents are mainly due to the exchange of the lightest new neutral gauge boson Z'. We show that the present experimental limits on μ-e conversion in nuclei give a nuclear-model-independent bound on the Z-e-μ vertex which…

Morphologic Damage and Changes of Intracellular Calcium-Binding Sites after Acute Noise Trauma in the Organ of Corti of the Guinea Pig

1993

In guinea pigs, an acute acoustic trauma was created by 6 consecutive gunshots. The sound pressure at the ear drum was 156 +/- 4 dB, the frequency maximum was between 4 and 6 kHz. Sixty hours after the noise trauma, the animals were decapitated, and the cochleae were prepared for microscopic analysis of the resulting trauma to the organ of Corti. During the process of fixation, the potassium-pyroantimonate precipitation reaction was performed to localize calcium-binding sites. The pattern of cell morphology and the distribution of calcium-binding sites was compared to that of normal control animals. Morphologic changes of the cells in the organ of Corti correlated with changes of the cellul…
