We report the near-infrared radial-velocity (RV) discovery of a super-Earth planet on 10.77-day orbit around M4.5 dwarf Ross 508 ($J_\mathrm{mag}=9.1$). Using precision RVs from Subaru Telescope IRD (InfraRed Doppler) instrument, we derive semi-amplitude $3.92^{+0.60}_{-0.58}$ ${\rm m\,s}^{-1}$, corresponding to with minimum mass $m \sin i = 4.00^{+0.53}_{-0.55}\ M_{\oplus}$. find no evidence s...

INTRODUCTION Factors associated with cerebrovascular events (CVEs) after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) have not been well defined in elderly patients (≥65 years). The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and predictors of CVEs after RFA in patients with AF ≥65 years old, in comparison to patients <65 years, and with or without AF. METHODS ...

This Appendix provides supplementary material to accompany the main text. Section A discusses the psychological foundations for our approach. Section B provides full arguments for all the results in the main text concerning history-dependent equilibria; essentially, up to and including Proposition 4. Section C proves our assertions for the simplified model of Section 5.4 in the paper, and provi...

The present chapter addresses some issues on survey design and sample design for household budget surveys. The focus is on surveys in developing countries. Problems of measuring consumption and income are discussed in some detail in section B. Section C contains a discussion on some crucial sample design issues, for example, stratification, and sample allocation in space (geographical) and in t...

In this paper, we summarize the present methods available for providing user interfaces for disability applications. Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 has contributed to providing accommodation to people with disability, and is generally considered a step in the right direction. As many modalities of interaction have become a focus, we propose multi-channel customized interfaces, wh...

s In this study we aimed to investigate the role of innovative elements in the training of Kinesitherapy and Ergotherapy and their application in clinical practice. The survey included 285 third year students and 50 mentors. An anonymous survey was conducted amongst students of “Rehabilitation therapist” profile at Medical College Stara Zagora and the mentors in the educational and practical fa...

Interventions with offenders have a normative layer as well as a scientific basis and therefore it is not possible to quarantine ethical questions from discussions of best practice. My aim in this paper is to provide an expanded ethical canvass from which to approach correctional practice with offenders. The cornerstone of this broader ethical perspective will be the concept of human dignity an...
