In a previous paper we analyzed the perfonnance of networks with negligi­ ble transmission delay, whose operation is controlled by a simple synchronizer. It was shown that full speed is achieved, for any wake-up pattern, by letting the networlc run free, without the use of a "firing squad" mechanism or a scheduler. In this paper we investigate the effect of fixed delays in the communication cha...

Grime and Punishment: Job Insecurity and Wage Arrears in the Russian Federation Using information from two complementary household survey data sets, we show that the dominant form of labor market adjustment in the Russian transition process has been the delayed receipt of wages. More than half the workforce is experiencing some form of disruption to their pay. Wage arrears are found across the ...

A1 Yes. Suppose otherwise. Then there would be an N such that S(N) < 80% and S(N + 1) > 80%; that is, O’Keal’s free throw percentage is under 80% at some point, and after one subsequent free throw (necessarily made), her percentage is over 80%. If she makes m of her first N free throws, then m/N < 4/5 and (m + 1)/(N + 1) > 4/5. This means that 5m < 4n < 5m+ 1, which is impossible since then 4n ...

cities reveals a community of expectation, and her exploitation of jokes and epigrams can be taken even further to show the widespread penetration of medical ideas and medical theories. She looks at the evidence from the writings of famous patients, including Cicero, Seneca, and Aristides (where she underestimates Weinreich's contributions), as well as exemplary tales of great or infamous docto...

Title: Transplantation of iPSCs-Derived Neural Stem Cells as Therapeutic Approach for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Press Release Title: Stem Cells May Hold Promise for Lou Gehrig’s Disease (ALS) Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the therapeutic potential of iPSCderived neural stem cells (NSCs) transplantation in an animal model of ALS. Author(s): Stefania Corti, MD, PhD, Monic...

Deep HST/NICMOS H (F160W) band observations of the z = 1.96 quasar pair Q 1634+267A,B reveal no signs of a lens galaxy to a 1σ threshold of ≃ 22.5 mag. The minimum luminosity for a normal lens galaxy would be a 6L * galaxy at z ≃ 0.5, which is 1000 times greater than our detection threshold. Our observation constrains the infrared mass-to-light ratio of any putative, early-type, lens galaxy to ...
