The moment of revelation-maybe even of truthcame at 8 51 on a Tuesday morning in the vast auditorium of the Georgia World Congress Centre in Atlanta. It was the second day of the 40th annual scientific session of the American College ofCardiology and Peter Sleight, professor of cardiovascular medicine at the University of Oxford, with his colleagues Rory Collins and Richard Peto, was reporting ...

A concern of the organizers of the workshop on ‘Games, Action and Social Software’ is that although everyone is keen to use logic for the analysis of key concepts in this area, it is not so clear which logic or which tools from logic to use for investigating games, actions and social software. For this reason, they have organized a discussion session on the theme “Battle of the Logics: Temporal...

Females and males often exhibit conspicuous morphological, physiological and behavioral differences. Similarly, gene expression profiles indicate that a large portion of the genome is sex-differentially deployed, particularly in the germ line. Because males and females are so fundamentally different, each sex is likely to have a different optimal gene expression profile that is never fully achi...

The position of battle captain in United States Army battalions involves responsibility for tracking a large quantity of information, communicating important information to the right people, and making decisions quickly when events deviate from plans. Soldiers assigned as battle captain in maneuver battalions have a wide variation in background and experience, yet rarely receive specific traini...

In order to design a successful human-agent-interaction, knowledge about the effects of a virtual agent’s behavior is important. Therefore, the presented study aims to investigate the effect of different nonverbal behavior on the agent’s person perception with a focus on dominance and cooperativity. An online study with 190 participants was conducted to evaluate the effect of different nonverba...

We argue that in order to provide a natural explanation of both neutrino mass hierarchies and large neutrino mixing angles, as required by the atmospheric neutrino data, a single right-handed neutrino must give the dominant contribution to the 23 block of the light effective neutrino matrix, and illustrate this mechanism in the framework of models with U(1) family symmetries. Sub-dominant contr...

BACKGROUND During this conflict 34 Field Hospital, the sole Coalition field hospital located in Iraq, received and treated casualties with a wide range of injuries. Located very close to the front line during the period of combat hostilities, it was potentially going to deal with relatively fewer battle-injured extremities. METHOD A retrospective review of battle casualties admitted to the ho...
