Models used in interactive applications are usually composed of geometric meshes with textures. Thus, textures play an important role in the final aspect of the simplified models. This method considers the texture shape in the error metric. Entropy, a concept from Information Theory, is used in this error metric. We show in the experiments that this method produces simplifications that preserve textures better than the methods that do not take them into account. Therefore, great distortions when applying the textures are avoided.

As unidades fraseolóxicas, que en ocasións posúen unha estrutura oracional, constitúen un bo campo de probas para estudar os distintos valores dos diminutivos e a súa relación co grao de fixación da propia unidade. Neste traballo estudaremos tres tipos de unidades fraseolóxicas nas que aparecen diminutivos: 1) as fixadas na súa orixe con diminutivos, 2) ás que se lles engadiu un diminutivo na súa estrutura e 3) as fixadas na súa orixe con diminutivo ou sen el. Palabras clave: diminutivos, unidades fraseolóxicas, actos de fala. Diminutives act as a courteous strategy in the modulation of speech acts, in turn-taking and in negotiation of meanings. Phraseological units-which sometimes have a sentence structure, constitute a good testing field to study the different values of diminutives and their relationship with the degree of fixation of the own unit. In this paper we will analyse three types of phraseological units where diminutives are present: 1) units originally fixed with diminutives, 2) units which added a diminutive in their structure, and 3) units originally fixed with or without diminutives.

It is well known that multiple scalar fields with exponential potentials V (φ) = V0exp(− 16π/pm 2 pl φ) lead to an inflationary solution even if the each scalar field is not capable to sustain inflation. In this paper, we show that inflation can be assisted even in the one-field case by the effect of nonminimal coupling. When ξ is positive, since an effective potential which arises by a conformal transformation becomes flatter compared with the case of ξ = 0 for φ > 0, we have an inflationary solution even when the universe evolves as non-inflationary in the minimally coupled case. For the negative ξ, the assisted inflation can take place when φ evolves in the region of φ < 0 .

Similarly, high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), the precursor stage for cervical cancer, represents a growing health problem among younger women as the HSIL management regimes that have been developed are not fully effective. From the etiological point of view, the presence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) has been demonstrated to play a crucial role for developing cervical malignancies, and viral DNA has been detected in 99.7% of cervical tumors at the later stages. CIGB-300 is a novel cyclic synthetic peptide that induces apoptosis in malignant cells and elicits antitumor activity in cancer animal models. CIGB-300 impairs the Casein Kinase (CK2) phosphorylation, by targeting the substrate's phosphoaceptor domain. Based on the perspectives of CIGB-300 to treat cancer, this "first-...

The study comprised 2,200 European adolescents (1,184 girls) participating in the HELENA cross-sectional study (2006-2008). Physical activity was measured by accelerometry and was expressed as average intensity (counts/minute) and amount of time (minutes/day) spent engaging in moderate-to vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA). Time spent in sedentary behaviors was also objectively measured. Cardiorespiratory fitness was measured by means of the 20-m shuttle run test. Level of maternal education was reported by the adolescents. A higher proportion of boys (56.8% of boys vs. 27.5% of girls) met the physical activity recommendations of at least 60 minutes/day of MVPA. Adolescents spent most of the registered time in sedentary behaviors (9 hours/day, or 71% of the registered time). Both average intensity and MVPA were higher in adolescents with high cardiorespiratory fitness, and sedentary time was lower in the highfitness group. There were no physical activity or sedentary time differences between maternal education categories. These data provide an objective measure of physical activity and amount of time spent in sedentary behaviors in a relatively large number of European adolescents.

In our study applied the Malmquist DEA Index, where we assess the forest activity with constant returns scale and decreasing returns scale. The results evidenced that the farms studied increasing the technical efficiency in training and education about the forest theme, however it have a decrease on the technology application, and it was reduced in 0.4720. The forest pure efficiency Change increased in 0.447 during period 2001 to 3.298 on 2005, this situation shows the local actors contribution for improving the productive system with technical forest. The scale change index showed a small decreasing. The total productivity index showed positive increasing from 0.479 on 2001 to 1.602 on 2005. Thus, the taxation policy to the forest activity show posit...

Participaron 6 estudiantes de licenciatura entre 21 y 24 años de edad. Se utilizó el cuestionario Maslach Burnout Inventory- Student Survey (MBI-SS) y el juego de mesa “Mente Maestra” de Birján. El objetivo del juego de mesa es encontrar el código oculto con base en la retroalimentación dada. Constó de 2 grupos de 3 participantes cada uno. Se utilizó un diseño balanceado simple con pre y post prueba con retroalimentación completa y dos fases, una sin retroalimentación y la otra con retroalimentación parcial. Los resultados muestran que sin retroalimentación, los participantes disminuyen las respuestas correctas, invierten menos tiempo en encontrar la respuesta correcta y aumentan los comentarios sobre la tarea (i.e. “¿me puedes decir si está bien el color?”), ejecución (i.e. “¡Lo estoy haciendo muy bi...
