The necessity of verification tools for Knowledge Based-Systems (KBSs), that help to guarantee a certain degree of quality and reliability of these systems will increase in the future when more critical systems are developed in areas such as industry, science,…

Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in industrialized countries. It imposes an enormous economic burden on the families of patients and on society. The purpose of this review is to give an overview about diverse animal models…

A case of an 11-months-old girl with vomiting and laryngeal stridor is presented, and in whom a Kommerell diverticulum was demonstrated, which is a rare variant of the incomplete vascular ring. It is well known that the magnetic resonance is…

As neonatology continues to advance medical knowledge and situations surrounding the care of ill and premature newborns, each step introduces ill- defined methodologies, unknown outcomes, and increasing costs. In countries such as Mexico, the government hospitals assume the cost of…

Since the invention of magneto-optical trap (MOT), there have been several experimental and theoretical studies of the density distribution in these devices. To the best of our knowledge, only horizontal orbital traps have been observed, perpendicular to the coil axis.…

Secure multimedia communication presents new challenges that are difficult to handle using by currently adopted encryption schemes (RSA-Rivest-Shamir-Adelman, AES-Advanced Encryption Standard, and IDEA-International Data Encryption algorithm) (28). It requires the processing of huge amounts of information at speeds ranging from…

The problem of nuclear track overlapping is addressed assuming the stochastic character of charged particle registry and the fact that even monoenergetic beam perpendicularly impacting on detector surface will show a distribution for track radius values. Asymmetric distributions of overlapping…

This original article addresses the sexual and reproductive health needs of young people aged 15 to 24 in Latin America. It introduces five articles from original research projects in three countries: Argentina, Brazil, and Peru. These projects were funded by…

Neutron spectra unfolding and dose equivalent calculation are complicated tasks in radiation protection, are highly dependent of the neutron energy, and a precise knowledge on neutron spectrometry is essential for all dosimetry-related studies as well as many nuclear physics experiments.…

Introduction The study of factors associated with internalizing and externalizing problems in adolescents living in at-risk families is a subject of recent interest in mental health in Spain. The presence of mental health problems in children and adolescents is too…
