Fecal samples from the Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica)
and the Amur cat (Felis bengalensis euptilurus) from Far Eastern
Russia, were examined for parasites. A natural sedimentation methodology
was used and a complete examination of all the sediment was
performed.…

Back in the 1990s Malcolm Coulthard announced the beginnings of an emerging discipline, forensic linguistics, resulting from the interface of language, crime and the law. Today the courts are more than ever calling on language experts to help in certain…

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…

The electrochemical oxidation of aniline and p-aminodiphenylamine (ADPA) was carried out in a phosphate buffer solution at pH 5. Cyclic voltammetry and ‘‘in situ’’ FTIR spectroscopy were combined to study the redox behavior of the oxidation products. When ADPA is…

A procedure to determine the best image range of distances that can be obtained from an aphakic eye is presented. Corneal surfaces are calculated from videokeratographic data. Light distributions at different distances inside the eye are calculated with a near-field…

We propose a new algorithm to obtain the color matching functions of any digital camera, with correct weights and white balance, from the relative scaling of their complete (3-D) spectral sensitivities obtained from real spectroradiometric data. Thanks to this algorithm,…

Study objectives: (1) To describe the union and life cycle of family rituals, such as specific habits of sharing daily meals, special events or other family activities, and (2) to analyse the relation between the practice of family rituals and…

Antimony-doped tin dioxide electrodes supported on titanium have been used in the electrochemical treatment of aqueous solution
containing phenol. Ti/SnO2–Sb anode has high efficiency in the elimination of phenol, but its use is hindered by its short service
life. The…

Industrial inspection problems usually require specific and highly complex solutions that can be implemented at a reasonable cost, what has produced a great research and development effort in the field of computer vision. Among these problems, inspection system for continuous…

The aim of this paper is to explore the reasons that lead to information systems outsourcing in the largest Spanish firms. Our paper takes as its starting point the previous literature on information systems and tries to analyse if those…
