The present study arises as a response to the historical controversy about the theoretical model of the hammer throw and performance. It starts from the fluctuations produced in the tangential velocity in the centre of gravity (CG) of the hammer…

Oxidizing agents are powerful activators of factors responsible for the transcriptional activation of cytokine-encoding genes involved in tissue injury. In this study we show evidence that STAT3 is a transcription factor whose activity is modulated by H2O2 in human lymphocytes,…

This paper analyzes the effect on the optimal value of a given linear semi-infinite programming problem of the kind of
perturbations which more frequently arise in practical applications: those which affect the objective function and the right-hand-side coefficients of the…

Cables are one of the common structures studied in a first-year engineering mechanics course (statics), since the flexible cable is one of the usual methods of supporting loads. For example, the suspension bridge has been used for many centuries and…

In this paper we present our software framework for robotic applications, jde-neoc. This is the second implementation of our cognitive behavior-based architecture JDE, and it is aimed to overcome some of the limitations observed in three years using the first…

Congenital hypothyroidism induces developmental abnormalities in the auditory receptor, causing deafness due to a poor development of the outer hair cells (OHCs) and a lack of synaptogenesis between these cells and the olivocochlear axons. This efferent innervation is formed by…

Information systems outsourcing is a constantly growing practice in all sorts of organisations. This paper analyses the level of information systems outsourcing at Spanish public universities. It also means to determine if factors such as the size, both of universities…

Triathlon is considered an endurance sport composed by the individual disciplines of swimming, cycling and running which are generally completed in this sequential order. It has been suggested that triathlon performance can be predicted by maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). However,…

We present an analysis of a series of four consecutive Chandra high-resolution transmission gratings observations, amounting to a total of 150 ks, of the Be X-ray source HD 119682 (=1WGA J1346.5–6255), a member of the new class of γ Cas…

This paper presents an object recognition technique based on projective geometry for industrial pieces that
satisfy geometric properties. First at all, we consider some methods of corner detection which are useful
for the extraction of interest points in digital images.…
