This paper considers the issue of document type diversity in the Comparative Manifestos Project (CMP). For many years the CMP has been collecting and coding a variety of documents, such as speeches, pamphlets, newspaper articles and leaflets, as manifesto proxies. By using previously unexplored archival material to perform controlled comparisons between different types of documents, this paper ...

PURPOSE Calprotectin is a cytosolic protein with immunomodulatory, antimicrobial, and antiproliferative actions. The concentration of calprotectin increases in infection, inflammation, and malignancy. We determined if calprotectin can be used as a marker for the diagnosis and follow-up of bowel inflammation in cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA). METHODS In total, 32 patients newly diagnosed wi...

not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that reason, this proposed action: • is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993); • does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq....

Abstract Preston’s law is widely used in polishing simulations which the distribution of coefficients on an entire wafer surface generally assumed to be uniform. However, it more likely that not uniform and depends several factors. To clarify coefficient chemical mechanical (CMP), we propose a novel experimental technique. In proposed method, unique approach “stop polishing,” where does rotate,...

As we enter the era of large-scale Chip MultiProcessing (CMP) systems, evaluating architectures and projecting performance for commercial workloads on such systems is becoming increasingly important. One of the major areas of concern for Multi-Socket SMP systems has been the detrimental effects of Locking and Synchronization (L&S) overheads. However, the lower on-die interconnect latency and hi...

Since first published in 1998, the Enterprise JavaBeans technology has become a popular choice for the development of middleware systems. Even though its popularity, the technology is considered quite complex and rather difficult to master. The main contribution to its complexity is the part of the EJB that deals with persistence. The most common and most popular way of implementing EJB persist...

AIM Chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) and falls are common among community-dwelling older adults. The study aims were: (i) to investigate the relationship between CMP and any falls (≥1), single falls and recurrent falls (≥2) in community-dwelling older adults; and (ii) to determine the discriminative validity of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) to differentiate between non-fallers and (a) any an...
