In this paper we consider new upscaling and homogenization methods for the pressure equation that are less sensitive to the boundary condition assumptions than many other published methods. We start from the discretized pressure equation and rely on the construction of subproblems with signii-cantly fewer unknowns, describing the behaviour of the solution of the ne-grid problem in suitable subs...

The economic influence is analyzed in this paper, the influence is classified into positive ones and negative ones. Economic influence is regarded as an index to represent how much the influence could be helpful to the host country. Positive and negative influence on offshore outsourcing is studied and a model based on system dynamic is built to help the host country to develop outsourcing stra...

Do the partial order and ortholattice operations of a quantum logic correspond to the logical implication and connectives of classical logic? Rephrased , How far might a classical understanding of quantum mechanics be, in principle, possible? A celebrated result of Kochen and Specker answers the above question in the negative. However, this answer is just one among various possible ones, not al...

Do the partial order and ortholattice operations of a quantum logic correspond to the logical implication and connectives of classical logic? Re-phrased, how far might a classical understanding of quantum mechanics be, in principle, possible? A celebrated result by Kochen and Specker answers the above question in the negative. However, this answer is just one among different possible ones, not ...

BACKGROUND Merkel cell carcinomas (MCCs), clinically aggressive neuroendocrine skin cancers, are divided into Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV)-positive and -negative tumors, which show different clinicopathological features and may develop through different mechanisms of carcinogenesis. Aberrant expression of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) as a genomic modulator was demonstrated th...
