in Vienna (1957-1964) in the light of documents |
Kept at the academy of music and Performing arts, Vienna |
The stay of Władysław Kędra, a charismatic virtuoso pianist representing the Columbus Gene- ration, in Vienna has so far seemed a very good and successful period in the life of this musician originating from Łódź. However, the studies conducted in the archives of the Akademie für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien, cast... |
It needs to be stressed that the present article was written exclusively based on the docu- ments (including letters) kept at the Viennese Akademie für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Władysław Kędra’s personal file. The author did not refer to his family’s recollections or to texts published previously about the piani... |
Extracting Digital Fingerprints from Chinese Documents |
It is an important problem to extract features from Chi- nese documents for protecting intellectual property. The ex- isting approaches are major oriented to words frequency or semantic, they can't extract features efficiently. By mapping Chinese documents into an ordered set of integers, we find that a Chinese documen... |

Despite the intense interest in the modelling and simulation of this process the relevant work is currently limited to development of flow models of the filling stage. The principles of heat transfer modelling of composites c... |
A non-toxic protein (TsNTxP) isolated from the venom of the noxious scorpion Tityus serrulatus (Ts) induces polyclonal antibodies cross-reactive with several toxins from the venom, in sharp contrast to anti-toxin antibodies which are toxin specific. To try to uncover the molecular basis for these unusual properties, pe... |
A fluorescence assay for theophylline, one of the common drugs for acute and chronic asthmatic conditions, has been developed based on an abasic site-containing DNA duplex aptamer (AP aptamer) in combination with an abasic site-binding fluorescent ligand, riboflavin. The assay is based on the competitive binding of the... |
The management problems of 22 patients with solitary liver abscesses are reviewed. To achieve earlier diagnosis, and reduce the high mortality rate of this condition (32% in this series), clinicians need to change their data base of the clinical presentation and also to incorporate liver imaging as part of the routine ... |
The purpose of this paper is to re port on the development of a system of treatment of wastewater designed to produce different quality effluents suit able for disposal into receiving bodies of water or for reuse.

This study explores how high school football athletes’ bodies are constructed within the context of contemporary scouting regimes. Deploying a quantitative approach, we analyze 6600 scouting reports on a total of 1650 high school football athletes available online from four high-profile media outlets which offer ‘exper... |
An attempt is made to clarify the quantum theory of the ``slow-rollover'' phase transition which characterizes the new inflationary universe model. We discuss the theory of the upside-down harmonic oscillator as a toy model, with particular emphasis on the fact that the system can be described at late times by a classi... |
This paper presents the design and experimental evaluation of a wideband reflectarray antenna using stub- loaded inverted E elements. A reflectarray of size 200 × 200 mm2 with 18 x 18 such elements is fabricated and measured for its radiation patterns. Through simulation-based study, two optimal gain-bandwidth performa... |
Abstract A weakly ionised plasma can be generated in stainless steel welding with a 10 kW fibre laser beam at the ultra high power density of ∼1 MW mm–2 in Ar shielding gas. The objectives of this study are to obtain a fundamental knowledge of optical interaction between a fibre laser beam and the weakly ionised plasma... |
BACKGROUND |
When compared to the general population, persons with an intellectual disability have lower life expectancy, higher morbidity, and more difficulty finding and obtaining healthcare. Organisational interventions are used to reconfigure the structure or delivery of healthcare services. This is the first update of the orig... |
OBJECTIVES |
To assess the effects of organisational interventions of healthcare services for the mental and physical health problems of persons with an intellectual disability. |
SEARCH METHODS |
For this update we searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and other databases, from April 2006 to 4 September 2015. We checked reference lists of included studies and consulted experts in the field. |
SELECTION CRITERIA |
Randomised controlled trials of organisational interventions of healthcare services aimed at improving care of mental and physical health problems of adult persons with an intellectual disability. |
DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS |
We employed standard methodological procedures as outlined in the Cochrane Handbook of Systematic Reviews of Interventions, in addition to specific guidance from the Cochrane Effective Practice and Organisation of Care (EPOC) Group. |
MAIN RESULTS |
We identified one new trial from the updated searches.Seven trials (347 participants) met the selection criteria. The interventions varied but had common components: interventions that increased the intensity and frequency of service delivery (4 trials, 200 participants), community-based specialist behaviour therapy (1... |
AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS |
There is very limited evidence on the organisation of healthcare services for persons with an intellectual disability. There are currently no well-designed studies focusing on organising the health services of persons with an intellectual disability and concurrent physical problems. There are very few studies of organi... |
This article is concerned with the output tracking control problem for a class of nonlinear switched cascade systems under some average dwell-time-based switching laws. Firstly, stabilisation problem of this class of switched systems is considered. Then, the result is extended to the output tracking control problem. Ba... |
ABSTRACT For most of the alignment algorithms, alignment errors and figure errors cannot be separated due to the coupling effect among optical elements. We present an alignment algorithm for TMA telescopes on the framework of nodal aberration theory (NAT). Based on NAT, we firstly determine the axial misalignments of s... |
Single-phase induction motors are widely used in several household applications and in the last years became the goal of some governmental agencies that introduced regulations focused in reduction of energy consumption. The use of line start permanent magnet motor (LSPMM) as a substitute of induction motor has been lar... |
This work proposes a 10-b two-stage DAC with an area-efficient multiple-output voltage selector and a linearity-enhanced DAC-embedded op-amp for LCD column driver ICs. The proposed voltage selector is divided into two stages, MSB and LSB decoders; this design requires fewer switches compared with tree-type voltage sele... |
This study investigated perceived stress by dental students at the University of Jordan. Two hundred sixty-six students out of 290 completed a modified DES questionnaire. The stressors producing the highest ratings for perceived stress were examinations and grades, fully loaded day, and lack of time for relaxation. For... |
Differences in half-value layer (HVL) and radiation intensity are investigated as a function of position in the mammographic radiation field. Sources of systematic variation include the heel effect, the inverse square law, and differential photon path lengths through thicknesses of inherent and added filtration. The co... |
The authors studied the influence of negative aeroionotherapy (AIT) on the gastric ulcer induced by pylorus ligature. After 24 hours the ligature was removed and the stomach was studied with respect to number and aspect of ulcers (hemorrhagic or not), periulcerous mucosa (edema, folds), acidity and microhemorrhage of g... |
Recently, a new kind of suspended plate antenna (SPA) has been proposed to enhance impedance bandwidth. With the broadened bandwidth, however, the radiation performance of the SPA severely deteriorates because of high cross-polarization levels in the H-plane and distorted co-polarization patterns in the E-plane. In thi... |
What a study of the historical development of mathematical concepts can offer teaching is still being debated. This study examines use of a combination of the historical development of number systems and modelling, with concrete materials as a way of deepening students’ understanding of positional notation. It looks at... |
Oral administration of nickel or chromium to naive guinea pigs results in immune unresponsiveness to subsequent induction of allergic contact hypersensitivity. Such "oral tolerance" depends on the oral dose, is antigen specific, T-suppressor-cell mediated, and very persistent. In contrast, oral antigen administration t... |
