The impaired walking nursing diagnosis has been included in NANDA International classification taxonomy in 1998, and this review aims to identify the defining characteristics and related factors in elderly patients in recent literature. Integrative literature review based on the following guiding question: Are there more defining characteristics and factors related to the nursing diagnosis impa...

News consumption is evolving from offline newspapers to online news. Nevertheless, no profitable business model exists for online news, and publishers are still reporting drops in revenue. Personalized news aggregators (PNAs), which rely on new information and communication technologies, provide a new way to aggregate content that might provide the basis for a revenue model in order to design a...

PURPOSE Up to 75% of women experience hot flashes, which can negatively impact quality of life. As hot flash physiology is not definitively understood, it cannot be assumed that effective agents represent class effects. Therefore, there is a continued need for rigorous evaluation to identify effective nonhormonal options for hot flash relief. METHODS A randomized, double-blind trial evaluated...

We give conditions to obtain cosmological asymptotic freedom in scalar–tensor theories of gravity. We show that this feature can be achieved in FRW flat spacetimes since we obtain singularity free solutions where the effective gravitational constant Geff → 0 for t → −∞ and, for some of them, Geff → GN for t → ∞, where GN is the Newton constant.

We consider a model with two parallel (positive tension) 3-branes separated by a distance L in 5-dimensional spacetime. If the interbrane space is antideSitter, or is not precisely anti-deSitter but contains no event horizons, the effective 4-dimensional cosmological constant seen by observers on one of the branes (chosen to be the visible brane) becomes exponentially small as L grows large. 11...

We show that an information network flow problem N in which n messages have to be sent to n destination nodes has a solution (that might utilize Network Coding) if and only if the directed graph GN (that appears by identifying each output node with its corresponding input node) has guessing number ≥ n. The guessing number of a (directed) graph G is a new concept defined in terms of a simple coo...

A growing empirical literature documents the existence of two distinct dimensions of narcissism, grandiose and vulnerable. In order to better understand the nature of these dimensions, we examined them in the context of the interpersonal circumplex (IPC). Using a sample collected on-line (N = 277), we examined the relations between these two narcissism dimensions – generated as a result of an e...
