From means to ends: artificial nutrition and hydration.

29 Nov 2009 The withdrawal, withholding, or implementation of life-sustaining treatments such as artificial nutrition and hydration challenge nurses on a daily basis. To meet these challenges, nurses need the composite skills of moral and ethical discernment, ... Read more...

Logic networks based on immunorecognition processes.

Sep 2009 The biochemical system logically processing biochemical signals using immune-specific and biocatalytic reactions was designed, and the generated output signals were analyzed by AFM and optical means. Different patterns of immune signals resulted in ... Read more...

Phonological and visual distinctiveness effects in syllogistic reasoning: implications for mental models theory.

30 Aug 2009 Two experiments are reported in which the representational distinctiveness of terms within categorical syllogisms was manipulated in order to examine the assumption of mental models theory that abstract, spatially based representations underpin ... Read more...
