Three studies investigated the relationships among employees' perception of supervisor support (PSS), perceived organizational support (POS), and employee turnover. Study 1 found, with 314 employees drawn from a variety of organizations, that PSS was positively related to temporal change in POS, suggesting that PSS leads to POS. Study 2 established, with 300 retail sales employees, that the PSS...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a potential clinical tool for enamel lesion monitoring. Swept-source OCT findings were compared with cross-sectional nanohardness findings of enamel. Subsurface bovine enamel lesions in three groups were subjected to (1) deionized water (control), (2) phosphoryl oligosaccharide of calcium (POs-Ca) or (3) POs-Ca with 1 ppm fluoride for 14 days. B-scans image...

AIMS To assess the efficacy of continued administration of sorafenib for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with local regional therapy (LRT) after a complete response (CR), also, the adverse events of sorafenib after discontinuation of administration were observed. METHODS Between April 2008 and May 2012, 956 consecutive patients with unresectable HCC treated w...

PURPOSE To identify intracellular phospholipases A(2) (PLA(2)) in the human retina and to explore the role of these enzymes in human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) phagocytosis of photoreceptor outer segments (POS). METHODS PCR amplification and Western blot analysis were used to identify mRNA and protein expression of intracellular PLA(2) subtypes in the retinal pigment epithelial cell lin...

Background ST-segment depression during exercise testing is frequently observed in the absence of restenosis after coronary angioplasty. Methods and Results We studied the determinants of this phenomenon in 70 consecutive patients with unstable angina related to a single left anterior descending coronary artery lesion who had successful angioplasty without restenosis (<50% stenosis by quantitat...

BACKGROUND Although several studies have been conducted to investigate the relationship between perceived organizational support (POS) and job performance (JP), it remains unclear whether this relationship is appropriate for faculty members at Chinese universities. The objectives of this study were to (a) examine the correlation between POS andJP; (b) identify the predictors of POS, including d...

Parsing learner data poses a great challenge for standard tools, since non-canonical and unusual structures may lead to wrong interpretations on the part of the taggers and parsers. It is well known that providing a statistical parser with perfect part-of-speech (POS) tags is of great benefit for parsing accuracy, and that parsing results can decrease considerably when the parser has to predict...

Reduplicated Multiword Expressions (RMWEs) are abundant in Manipuri, the highly agglutinative India language. The Part of Speech (POS) tagging of Manipuri using Support Vector Machine (SVM) has been developed and evaluated. The POS tagger has been updated with identified RMWEs as another feature. The performance of the SVM based POS tagger before and after adding RMWE as a feature have been com...
