This article examines how Indian Americans’ religious organizations send not only financial remittances to India, but also social remittances that shape development ideologies. Comparing Indian-American Hindu and Muslim organizations, I find both groups draw from their socioeconomic experiences in India and use their position as elite immigrants in the United States to identify and empower thei...

The traditional evolutionary algorithms dividing the complex networks community have some inevitable deficiencies such as low searching accuracy, high computing time complexity, local optimal solution and so on. To address this issue, this paper proposes a novel community structure partition algorithm based on multi-gene families (MGF). First, this algorithm respectively encodes the network ent...

We performed a three-year radiostereometric analysis (RSA) study of the Elite Plus femoral component on 25 patients undergoing primary total hip replacement. Additional assessments and measurements from standard radiographs were also made. Subsidence of the stem occurred at the cement-stem interface. At 36 months the subsidence of the stem centroid was a mean of 0.30 mm (0.02 to 1.28), and was ...

the purpose of the present study is to examine the effects of ego depletion on arousal of elite iranian swimmers. the sample comprised elite swimmers invited to the national swimming team as focused and semi focused (36 subjects). the research design was as pre- and post-test—in two phases of ego depletion conditions and the lack of ego depletion conditions in two experimental and control group...

Although a robust literature has demonstrated a positive relationship between education and socio-economic attainment, the processes through which formal schooling yields enhanced economic and social rewards remain less clear. Employers play a crucial role in explaining the returns to formal schooling yet little is known about how employers, particularly elite employers, use and interpret educa...

Despite the variation in swimming performance of elite triathletes is generally small, longitudinal observations of swimming performance in the top 20 elite triathletes in the world compared to that of the remaining field indicate that swimming performance is crucial at Olympic distance triathlon at elite level (Bentley et al., 2008). Therefore, researches that addresses optimization of swim pe...

Investigating the immune system of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) elite controllers, or HIV-infected individuals who maintain undetectable plasma HIV RNA levels without antiretroviral therapy (ART), has led to advances in our understanding of HIV pathogenesis [1] and may be critical to the development of a functional cure for HIV infection [2, 3]. However, although other studies have shown ...

An odd prime number p is called anti-elite if only finitely many Fermat numbers are quadratic non-residues to p. This concept is the exact opposite to that of elite prime numbers. We study some fundamental properties of anti-elites and show that there are infinitely many of them. A computational search among all the numbers up to 100 billion yielded 84 anti-elite primes.
