We give a characterization of the non-empty binary relations  on a N∗-set A such that there exist two morphisms of N∗-sets u1, u2 : A → R+ verifying u1 ≤ u2 and x  y ⇔ u1(x) > u2(y). They are called homothetic interval orders. If  is a homothetic interval order, we also give a representation of  in terms of one morphism of N∗-sets u : A → R+ and a map σ : u(R+) × A → R+ such that x  y ⇔ σ(...

The Chow ring of a smooth algebraic variety V , denoted CH∗(V ), is an analogue of the cohomology ring that is more closely related to the algebraic, rather than topological, aspects of the variety. For a d-dimensional abelian variety A over a field k, let  = Pic(A) be its dual, the variety parameterising principal line bundles on A, and for a ∈  denote the line bundle parameterised by a as L...

to be useful in practice (Felkenes, 1980). When ethical decision-making and the organization have been studied empirically, researchers found that those who rely on organizational rules deliberate somewhat differently on ethical issues than do those practitioners who use ethical principles to guide their decision-making (Kugelman-Jaffee, 1990). Thus, the challenge for hospital based social wo...

INTRODUCTION Demographic analysis shows the ageing of the global population and the consequent increase in the age of hospitalized subjects and of patients starting dialysis. Hence, interest in the feasibility, safety, and usefulness of renal biopsy in elderly patients is growing. We examined the data of 131 patients over the age of 75 who underwent renal biopsy. We analyzed the safety of the p...

one mineral density measurements are useful for predicting the risk of fracture in an individual, for assessing the effect of a disease or drug on bone mass, and for monitoring the effect of therapy of osteoporosis. For the hip and spine, measurements made at the affected site discriminate better between fragility fractures and nonfracture cases than do measure ments made on other parts of the ...

I treat the dynamics of interorganizational collaboration from a dialogue perspective. This extends the ‘exploitative’ and ‘explorative’ approaches that currently define scholarship on interorganizational collaboration. A dialogue perspective is argued to be particularly useful in understanding interorganizational efforts to tackle systemic issues that are technically as well as behavio...
