"RED light on " . '" . the Dakota vibrated as it lost speed for its run in and, with the sandbanks, receding beneath us, ,the dropping zone came in,to view through the open door. The ground chosen for the landing was a narrow tongue caught between the icy waters of the Kabul River and the Indus where they converged just above the fort at Attock. It was January and the night was cold, but a half...

Moody is right that the doctrine of conscious inessentialism (CI) is false. Unfortunately, his zombie-based argument against (CI), once made suf-ciently clear to evaluate, is revealed as nothing but legerdemain. The fact is, though Moody has|for reasons I explain|convinced himself otherwise , certain zombies are impenetrable: that they are zombies, and not conscious beings like us, is something...

BACKGROUND Online drug information compendia (ODIC) are valuable tools that health care professionals (HCPs) and consumers use to educate themselves on pharmaceutical products. Research suggests that these resources, although informative and easily accessible, may contain misinformation, posing risk for product misuse and patient harm. OBJECTIVE Evaluate drug summaries within ODIC for accurac...

Eficacia y seguridad son los dos pilares fundamentales que apoyan la farmacoterapia. En lo concerniente a la seguridad, desde hace varias décadas se está trabajando en su aspecto más conocido y mejor estudiado: las reacciones adversas a medicamentos (RAM), que, según la Organización Mundial de la Salud, son los efectos no deseados y nocivos cuando estos se emplean a dosis adecuadas y con indica...

Using a general formalism of a q-deformation of an arbitrary Lie algebra, new kinds of qdeformed centerless Virasoro and U(1) Kac-Moody algebras are found. This q-deformation is associated to an R-matrix of unit square satisfying the quantum Yang-Baxter equation and allows a nontrivial Hopf structure. The central extension is also incorporated in this formalism. MIRAMARE { TRIESTE August 1998 J...

These lecture notes are a brief introduction to Wess-Zumino-Witten models, and their current algebras, the affine Kac-Moody algebras. After reviewing the general background, we focus on the application of representation theory to the computation of 3-point functions and fusion rules.

We use fermionic representations to obtain a class of BC N -graded Lie algebras coordinatized by quantum tori with nontrivial central extensions. 0 Introduction Lie algebras graded by the reduced finite root systems were first introduced by Berman-Moody [BM] in order to understand the generalized intersection matrix algebras of Slodowy. [BM] classified Lie algebras graded by the root systems of...

BACKGROUND Oncologists are at high risk of poor mental health. Prior research has focused on burnout, and has identified heavy workload as a key predictor. Compassion fatigue among physicians has generally received less attention, although medical specialties such as oncology may be especially at risk of compassion fatigue. We contribute to research by identifying predictors of both burnout and...
