Value and limits of computer-assisted tomography.

1980

Three years ago, at the VIIth International Congress of Radiology in Otorhinolaryngology, held in Copenhagen, the early impressive results of computer-assisted tomography (CAT) in otorhinolaryngology were presented. Since considerable technologic and diagnostic progress of CAT has taken place in the meantime, questions about the increase in CAT's value and the expansion of its limits are appropriate now. Computed and, in some cases, conventional tomograms of facial lesions are used in the discussion of these questions. There is no doubt of CAT's advance within the last few years; there are, however, limits of CAT to be emphasized: (a) coronal CAT might be uncomfortable (especially if the ga…

Historical Events in the Background of Hilbert’s Seventh Paris Problem

2015

David Hilbert’s lecture, “Mathematical Problems,” [Hilbert 1900] delivered in Paris in 1900 at the Second International Congress of Mathematicians, has long been recognized as marking a milestone in the history of mathematics. Certainly for Hilbert himself, this marked the single greatest event and a true turning point in his storied career. When historians and mathematicians have written about the so-called Hilbert problems, they have usually looked forward into the twentieth century, sometimes by viewing their resolution as markers for mathematical progress.

Analysis of the conflicts of interest disclosed by the program reviewers of the scoliosis research society (SRS) congresses, 2010-2014.

2018

Background Conflicts of interest (COI) between industry and surgeons frequently introduce biases into surgical research. The abstracts submitted for presentation in scientific congresses are usually vetted for any indication of commercial bias. Members of review program committees regularly have recognized qualifications, and therefore certain COI are unavoidable. This study aims to determine the prevalence and magnitude of possible COI among those responsible for the selection of presentations at two important international conferences on spine surgery during a five-year period. Methodology COI declarations by those responsible for the final programs of the annual SRS (Scoliosis Research S…

History and services of culture collections.

2003

Microbial culture collections aim at collecting, maintaining and distributing microbial strains among microbiologists, and are considered to be a means to preserve microbial diversity ex situ. This article reviews the early history of culture collections, which were first set up in the late nineteenth century, with the introduction of pure culture techniques. It also describes the international connections between culture collections, which led to the foundation of the World Federation for Culture Collections (WFCC) and the International Congress of Culture Collections (ICCC). An overview of the Spanish Type Culture Collection (CECT) is included, as well as a description of the services tha…

La Literatura de tradició oral europea: una proposta de treball col·laboratiu

2013

La proposta es fonamenta en el treball col·laboratiu entre estudiants universitaris valencians i eslovacs en una investigació conjunta sobre els relats de tradició oral europeus, que contribuirà al desenvolupament de diverses competències socials, artístiques i culturals, i de la competència comunicativa en anglès. Pretenem així mateix utilitzar diversos dispositius tecnològics i xarxes socials, i iniciar un debat sobre la pertinència d'aquest tipus de treball col·laboratiu i sobre la seua efectivitat
