Quality of care in outpatient clinic for female diseases. A study of the perception of patients with infertility problems

Influence of dietary w-6 and w-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and saturated fatty acids (SFA) on development of rat paw edema induced by dextran subplantar injection was studied. Female Wistar rats the initial weight 150-160 g were bed fo four weeks diets containing as lioid components 6% butter and 3% sunflower oil (w-6 PUFA-diet), 6% butter and 3% fish oil (w-3 PUFA-diet), 6% butter and 3% olive oil (MUFA-diet) or butter (SFA-diet). One group of rats received a non-lipid diet. The development of rat paw edema was reduced under the w-3 PUFA-diet in comparison with the w-6 PUFA-diet, but more intensive then under the non-lipid diet. No differences were detected in effects on inflammation induced w-3 PUFA-, MUFA-, and SFA-diets.

Breakdown of Zero-Energy Quantum Hall State in Graphene in the Light of Current Fluctuations and Shot Noise

We have investigated the cross-over from Zener tunneling of single charge carriers to avalanche type of bunched electron transport in a suspended graphene Corbino disk in the zeroth Landau level. At low bias, we find a tunneling current that follows the gyrotropic Zener tunneling behavior. At larger bias, we find an avalanche type of transport that sets in at a smaller current the larger the magnetic field is. The low-frequency noise indicates strong bunching of the electrons in the avalanches. On the basis of the measured low-frequency switching noise power, we deduce the characteristic switching rates of the avalanche sequence. The simultaneous microwave shot noise measurement also reveals intrinsic correlations within the avalanche pulses and indicate a decrease in correlations with increasing bias.     

Multiple-symbol differential sphere decoding

In multiple-symbol differential detection (MSDD) for power-efficient transmission over Rayleigh fading channels without channel state information, blocks of N received symbols are jointly processed to decide on N-1 data symbols. The search space for the maximum-likelihood (ML) estimate is therefore (complex) (N-1)-dimensional, and maximum-likelihood MSDD (ML-MSDD) quickly becomes computationally intractable as N grows. Mackenthun's low-complexity MSDD algorithm finds the ML estimate only for Rayleigh fading channels that are time-invariant over an N symbol period. For the general time-varying fading case, however, low-complexity ML-MSDD is an unsolved problem. In this letter, we solve this problem by applying sphere decoding (SD) to ML-MSDD for time-varying Rayleigh fading channels. The resulting technique is referred to as multiple-symbol differential sphere decoding (MSDSD).     

Effect of phosphorus poisoning on catalytic activity of diesel exhaust gas catalyst components containing oxide and Pt

Effects of phosphorus poisoning on the activity of powdered exhaust gas catalyst components containing different oxides and platinum were studied. The decrease in the catalytic activity was associated with phosphorus compounds formed with the catalyst components. The poisoned samples were studied using XRD and FTIR-ATR techniques. The same compounds, phosphates of cerium, zirconium, aluminium and titanium, have also been detected in vehicle aged diesel catalyst converters.     

Recursion Hypothesis Considered as a Research Program for Cognitive Science

Humans grasp discrete infinities within several cognitive domains, such as in language, thought, social cognition and tool-making. It is sometimes suggested that any such generative ability is based on a computational system processing hierarchical and recursive mental representations. One view concerning such generativity has been that each of the mind’s modules defining a cognitive domain implements its own recursive computational system. In this paper recent evidence to the contrary is reviewed and it is proposed that there is only one supramodal computational system with recursion in the human mind. A recursion thesis is defined, according to which the hominin cognitive evolution is constituted by a recent punctuated genetic mutation that installed the general, supramodal capacity for recursion into the human nervous system on top of the existing, evolutionarily older cognitive structures, and it is argued on the basis of empirical evidence and theoretical considerations that the recursion thesis constitutes a plausible research program for cognitive science.
