On the Global Asymptotic Stability of Switched Linear Time-Varying Systems with Constant Point Delays
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2008)
This paper investigates the asymptotic stability of switched linear time-varying systems with constant point delays under not very stringent conditions on the matrix functions of parameters. Such conditions are their ...
About Robust Stability of Dynamic Systems with Time Delays through Fixed Point Theory
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2008)
This paper investigates the global asymptotic stability independent of the sizes of the delays of linear time-varying systems with internal point delays which possess a limiting equation via fixed point theory. The error ...
About the stability and positivity of a class of discrete nonlinear systems of difference equations
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2008)
This paper investigates stability conditions and positivity of the solutions of a coupled set of nonlinear difference equations under very generic conditions of the nonlinear real functions which are assumed to be bounded ...
Risk factors for dementia in the epidemiological study of Munguialde County (Basque Country-Spain)
(BioMed Central, 2008-10-15)
Background: Prevalence of degenerative dementias and dementias associated with cerebrovascular disease is increasing. Dementia is one of the most significant public health problem. In recent years, the role of vascular ...
Trans-10,cis-12-conjugated linoleic acid does not increase body fat loss induced by energy restriction
(Cambridge University Press, 2008-12)
Very little evidence exists concerning the effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on body fat reduction induced by energy restriction. Moreover, although an effect of trans-10, cis-12-CLA on lipolysis has been suggested, ...
Prioritization of candidate cancer genes-an aid to oncogenomic studies
(Oxford University Press, 2008-10)
The development of techniques for oncogenomic analyses such as array comparative genomic hybridization, messenger RNA expression arrays and mutational screens have come to the fore in modern cancer research. Studies utilizing ...
Using reflective processes to promote attention to diversity in schools: a studv of practice in Chile
(2008)
[EN] Over the last decade or so, many writers have argued that inclusive practices are more likely to be developed when school communities are involved in collaborative processes of inquiry, reflection and action in order ...
Use of Recombinant Antigens for the Diagnosis of Invasive Candidiasis
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2008)
Invasive candidiasis is a frequent and often fatal complication in immunocompromised and critically ill patients. Unfortunately, the diagnosis of invasive candidiasis remains difficult due to the lack of specific clinical ...
Birth weight and blood lipid levels in Spanish adolescents: Influence of selected APOE, APOC3 and PPARgamma2 gene polymorphisms. The AVENA Study
(BioMed Central, 2008-11-10)
Background: There is increasing evidence indicating that genes involved in certain metabolic processes of cardiovascular diseases may be of particular influence in people with low body weight at birth. We examined whether ...
Basque inshore skippers' long term behaviour: a logit approach
(EDP Sciences, 2008)
Based on the discrete optimal choice theory and a random utility model (RUM) framework, this paper focuses on the firm's long-term choices.A behavioural study on the stay and exit decisions of the fishing firms belonging ...
