Entrepreneurs must experiment to learn how good they are at a new activity. What happens when the experimentation is …nanced by a lender? Under common scenarios, i.e., when there is the opportunity to learn by "starting small" or when "no-compete" clauses cannot be enforced ex-post, we show that …nancing experimentation can become harder precisely when it is more pro…table, i.e., for lower valu...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is four-fold. First, the hospitals' current level of computerized physician order entry (CPOE) adoption is reported; second, internal and external influence factors' roles in determining CPOE adoption rates are described; third, the future diffusion rate of CPOE systems in US hospitals is empirically predicted; finally, the current technology's state-of-the-...

Nitrogen forms an integral part of the main building blocks of life, including DNA, RNA, and proteins. N2 is the dominant gas in Earth's atmosphere, and nitrogen is stored in all of Earth's geological reservoirs, including the crust, the mantle, and the core. As such, nitrogen geochemistry is fundamental to the evolution of planet Earth and the life it supports. Despite the importance of nitrog...

To improve the performance of geographically distributed cosimulation, we propose a concept called hierarchically grouped message. The concept improves cosimulation performance, preserving the cosimulation accuracy, by hierarchically grouping messages transferred between simulators in a short period of simulated time into a single physical message, thereby reducing the number of physical messag...

In a rat model of status epilepticus (SE) induced by lithium and pilocarpine and refractory to midazolam, deep hypothermia (20 °C for 30 min) reduced EEG power over 50-fold, stopped SE within 12 min, and reduced EEG spikes by 87%. Hypothermia deserves further investigation as a treatment of last resort for refractory SE. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled "Status Epilepticus".
