Citron (2002) probably sums it up best when he states that generosity is the best strategy for corporate prosperity. He believes that the love you get from others as a person and a corporation is equal to the love you extend to others. It's really about creating communities of caring and missions of inclusiveness. And ... |

Abstract Dialect atlases comprise considerable numbers of linguistic feature maps, i.e. dialect maps representing one linguistic feature each. Large amounts of data like these are often difficult to handle. This article presents a new quantitative method for the automatic analysis of such large corpora of linguistic fe... |
In this, the second of two articles, we continue our evaluation of drug therapies in older adults. Having previously described the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic consequences of physiological ageing, along with the challenge of appropriate prescribing, we proposed four key questions which should be considered when... |
High-reliability system design has experienced a similar need to reduce system size, power, and cost while maintaining expected reliability. Traditionally, these system designs have achieved reliability through redundancy. This redundancy manifests itself though increased component count, logic size, system power, and ... |
This paper provides a theoretical framework for passivity characterization of symmetric rational macromodels. These may be obtained for linear and time-invariant reciprocal structures if structural symmetry is preserved during the rational fitting stage of the macromodel generation. Standard Hamiltonian-based methods c... |
Advances in platelet transfusion have contributed to improved outcomes in the treatment of patients with cancer and leukemia. However, the optimal strategies to avoid some of the side effects that could result from platelet transfusions remain under investigation. These side effects include the development of refractor... |

Future designs of gas turbine combustors will demand an increasingly detailed understanding of their internal flow structure. Acquisition of complete velocity field information in realistic combustor geometries under burning conditions is, however, extremely difficult, if not impossible, and recourse will always be mad... |
Mutants in the translation initiation factor eIF5B reveal the importance of translation for recovery from heat stress and a possible role for this conserved factor in mRNA-specific translation. The conserved eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5B, eIF5B, is a GTPase that acts late in translation initiation. We fou... |
The rise of the professional theatre from the 1570s, the most spectacular achievement of the English Renaissance, appeared in a much less positive light to London's magistrates, preachers and pamphleteers. They viewed plays as a threat to public order and morals, and the playhouses themselves, attracting a huge and rau... |
The paper deals with illegal employment in the Czech Republic, both foreigners and citizens of the Czech Republic in comparison with other European Union countries. Illegal employment threatens the whole economy, weakening labor market and reducing the number of jobs for those who are unemployed and the job they are ap... |
Abstract Natural convective flow and heat transfer around a locally heated circular cylinder kept in a rectangular enclosure are investigated. At first, a problem valid for a rectangular domain is formulated and then an analytical coordinate transformation is introduced to map the rectangular domain to the physical dom... |
The objective was to evaluate the activity against Haemonchus contortus by foliage taken from three tanniferous tree species and fed to Creole male kids experimentally infected with a dose of 350 larvae of H. contortus (L3) kg−1 body weight (BW). Twenty Creole kids weighing 12 ± 2.0 kg were randomly distributed in four... |
Educating future software engineers requires simultaneously to teach them theoretical aspects of software development and to develop their practical skills. A software development studio is a frequently used method that provides the environment where students can try different practices in the conditions similar to tho... |
This paper identifies a widely existing phenomenon in web data, which we call the "words of few mouths" phenomenon. This phenomenon, in the context of online reviews, refers to the case that a large fraction of the reviews are each voted only by very few users. We discuss the challenges of "words of few mouths" in the ... |
Non-transformation toughened ceramics show the typical brittle material behavior of failure before deformation at room temperature. Thus, strengthening of ceramics due to deformation induced compressive residual stresses has been thought to be not possible. Nevertheless, preliminary investigations had shown that, using... |
DNA ploidy (by image cytometry) and expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and p53 tumor suppressor gene product (by immunohistochemistry) were investigated in 15 cases of Hodgkin's disease (HD) and 12 cases of HD‐like B‐cell lymphoma (HD‐like NHL). Reed‐Sternberg (RS) cells and their variants were DNA... |

Doxorubicin cardiomyopathy is a lethal pathology characterized by oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and contractile impairment, leading to cell death. Although extensive research has been done to understand the pathophysiology of doxorubicin cardiomyopathy, no effective treatments are available. We investiga... |
RESULTS |
We used neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs), and adult mouse ventricular myocytes (AMVMs). Doxorubicin alone (i.e., 0.5 µM doxorubicin) or in combination with H2O2 induced an increase in mitochondrial formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), that was prevented by the pharmacological inhibition of MAOs in both ... |
Water scarcity is the growing concern of present |
times, requiring its efficient utilization deemed as necessity. Rapidly growing |
population has significantly exerted pressure on its demand, in Pakistan. In |
order to fulfill it, all factors of production are required to be used in the |
possibly most efficient way. Good quality and quantity of water are the growing |
concerns of producers in Pakistan and around the globe. The efficient water |
utilization is crucial to optimize the farm returns under the selected sole and |
multiple cropping systems. This study considered the water efficiency analysis |
of multiple and sole cropping systems, with the aim of finding out cropping |
patterns more efficient in terms of water utilization in Pakistan. In order to |
estimate the water efficiency analysis, the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is |
run to find out the water efficient cropping systems among sole and multiple |
cropping systems. The Tobit analysis is also used to find out the factors |
affecting the water efficiency of selected farms in the study area. The results |
of the study report an inefficient water usage in terms of irrigation, the |
inefficient use of water instigates the wastage of one of the most important as |
well as scarce farm inputs especially water, in case of multiple cropping |
system. Around 51% and 13% of water inefficiency are present under multiple and sole cropping systems, respectively. Basin |
irrigation is the method for irrigation, used by the farmers of the study area |
approximating to be 95% - 97%. It is one of the most conventional and least efficient methods of |
irrigation. Only 2.67 and 4.67 percent of farms were using the Furrow |
irrigation method, which is way more efficient and steady as compared to Basin |
irrigation method, respectively. It appears as a requirement that the most |
efficient methods regarding water application in Pakistan should be recognized. |
Lack of management in water application on both selected cropping systems |
resulted in over utilization of water and depletion of one of the fundamental |
natural resource. In order to overcome the inefficiency in water management, |
farmers’ farming knowledge, adoption of new irrigation techniques, efficient |
application of inputs is needed.[Challenges to the Nursing Practicum During the COVID-19 Pandemic]. |

How to cooperate with the government's pandemic-prevention policies and reduce the gap between education and clinical practice represent significant challenges. In this paper, Chang Gung Universit... |
OBJECTIVE |
To test the null hypothesis that neither the flexural properties of orthodontic adhesive resins nor the enamel pre-treatment methods would affect metal bracket debonding behaviours, including enamel fracture. |
MATERIALS AND METHODS |
A dimethacrylate-based resin (Transbond XT, TX) and two methyl methacrylate (MMA)-based resins (Super-Bond C&B, SB; an experimental light-cured resin, EXP) were tested. Flexural strength and flexural modulus for each resin were measured by a three-point-bending test. Metal brackets were bonded to human enamel pretreate... |
RESULTS |
The two MMA resins exhibited substantially lower flexural strength and modulus values than the TX resin. The mean SBS values of all groups (10.15-11.09MPa) were statistically equivalent to one another (P > 0.05), except for the TE-TX group (13.51MPa, P < 0.05). The two EXP groups showed less resin remnant. Only in the ... |
LIMITATIONS |
The results were drawn only from ex vivo experiments. |
CONCLUSIONS |
The hypothesis is rejected. This study suggests that a more flexible MMA resin is favourable for avoiding enamel fracture during metal bracket debonding.Attachment and depressive symptoms in middle childhood |
The current study investigated whether biological sensitivity to emotional information moderates the link between attachment anxiety/avoidance and depressive symptoms. Sixty children (9–12 years old) completed questionnaires on attachment and depressive symptoms. Skin conductance level (SCL) was measured across three c... |
