In this talk, results from the gravitational sector of the Standard-Model Extension (SME) are discussed. The weak-field phenomenology of the resulting modified gravitational field equations is explored. The application of the results to a variety of modern gravity experiments, including lunar laser ranging, Gravity Probe B, binary pulsars, and Earth-laboratory tests, shows promising sensitivity...

Syndromes of mineralocorticoid excess (SME) are closely related clinical manifestations occurring within a specific set of diseases. Overlapping clinical manifestations of such syndromes often create a dilemma in accurate diagnosis, which is crucial for disease surveillance and management especially in rare genetic disorders. Here we demonstrate the use of whole exome sequencing (WES) for accur...

in this paper, factors that effect on ict adoption by smes in tehran (iran) are investigated. to do so, after reviewing the literature, we identified the factors affecting ict adoption by smes in tehran and, based on this review, we proposed our hypotheses. factors include internal factors, external factors and ict specifications that influence on it adoption by smes. all hypotheses are confi...

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) create a dynamic and successful European economy. Existing skill deficiencies in sales, management and administrative staff are adversely affecting competitiveness in almost a third of those small firms surveyed (Bolden, 2001, 2007). Additionally, attending face-toface and classroom-based development courses is problematic for time-poor SME managers. Th...

SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprise) have become the importantly compositive part of Chinese Nation Economy. And management and innovation of SME have become one of the key problems of the process of growing up and development of SME. In this paper, a system framework of SME innovation system is introduced, and the system framework includes core layer, expression layer, enabling layer and infrast...

The paper discusses technical requirements to promote the adoption of alliance modes of operation by SMEs in the construction sector. These requirements have provided a basis for specifying a set of functionality to support the collaboration and cooperation needs of SMEs. While serviceoriented architectures and semantic web services provide the middleware technology to implement the identified ...

The subsequent memory effect (SME) is the ubiquitous phenomena that stimulus that are later retrieved show a more negative going ERP wave than stimulus that are not retrieved. Two basic findings in neurophysiology are that cells respond weaker to repeated stimulation (e.g. synaptic depression) and that the response differentiates during familiarization. This paper presents a computational theor...

Poder calorífico de misturas de biodiesel dos ésteres metílicos de colza (RME) e soja (SME) foram determinados usando um calorímetro de combustão de alta precisão. A dependência dos valores calóricos com a temperatura e pressão no intervalo (273-373) K e (1 a 200) bar foram derivados para misturas de RME e SME de biodiesel B100. Foram propostas equações práticas para o cálculo da correção da te...

In recent years the so-called Standard-Model Extension (SME) has provided a convenient framework for studying minute Lorentz and CPT violations that may be low-energy signatures for Planck-scale physics. In this work we will study a subsector of the SME describing pure electrodynamics, where Maxwell theory has been modified with Chern–Simons-like term in the Lagrangian parametrized by dimension...
