Interest in entrepreneurship has heightened in recent years, especially in business schools. Much of this interest is driven by student demand for courses in entrepreneurship, either because of genuine interest in the subject, or because students see entrepreneurship education as a useful hedge given uncertain corporate careers This paper reports a study of the importance of religious faith to ...

The objective of the current study was to determine how predetermined factors contribute to a spectator's overall perceptions of a new college football stadium. It was predicted that fans who were highly identified with the SIU football team would have a more positive perception of the new stadium than low identified fans. Second, individuals' considering themselves to be sports fans would perc...

The wireless web introduces new flexibility for World Wide Web users and service providers. Users can browse the web with a WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) enabled device such as a cellular phone or a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant)., while service providers can make their services available anytime and anywhere by exploiting the wireless features of the protocol. Moreover, service provide...

We consider the problem of maintaining expansion in an overlay network with dynamic node insertions. We study this problem in two models: one, where insertions are chosen benevolently, and the other, where insertions are chosen by an adversary. For the model of benevolent insertions, the problem has been previously studied empirically by Gkantsidis, Mihail, and Saberi [6]. In this paper, we pre...

Tam, Siu Lin, and Susan Kaufman. NOS inhibition restores renal responses to atrial distension during pregnancy. Am J Physiol Regulatory Integrative Comp Physiol 282: R1364–R1367, 2002. First published March 7, 2002; 10.1152/ ajpregu.00705.2001.—Nitric oxide (NO) biosynthesis increases during pregnancy and has been shown to suppress baroreceptor activity. The renal response to a simulated increa...

The ATM Forum has recently defined a new data service called Guaranteed Frame Rate (GFR) Service. This new service aims to support minimum bandwidth guarantee for a VC and allows any excess bandwidth in the network to be shared among the contending VCs in a fair manner. It was proposed that the service requirement of GFR may be supported using the Generic Cell Rate Algorithm (GCRA), or equivale...

In response to a question of Y.-T. Siu, we show that for any algebraic variety V of codimension 2 in C, there is a neighborhood U of V and an injective holomorphic map Φ : C → C \ U . That is, there is a Fatou-Bieberbach domain (a proper subdomain in C biholomorphic to C) in the complement of some neighborhood of V . In particular, Φ is a dominating map. In case n = 1, V is empty, so the result...

Let n binary numbers of length n be given. The Boolean function ``Multiple Product'' MPn asks for (some binary representation of ) the value of their product. It has been shown (K.-Y. Siu and V. Roychowdhury, On optimal depth threshold circuits for multiplication and related problems, SIAM J. Discrete Math. 7, 285 292 (1994)) that this function can be computed in polynomial-size threshold circu...

I . Measurements were made of changes in lactase and sucrase activity of homogenates of small intestine mucosa of sixty-one pigs varying in age from newborn to mature animals. 2. From each pig, samples for enzyme determination were taken from siu sites along the small intestine. These sites were at 5,20,40,60, 80 and 95 yo of the length of the small intestine, measured from the pylorus. 3. Lact...
