Context-sensitive rewriting (CSR) is a restriction of rewriting which forbids reductions on selected arguments of functions. A replacement map discriminates, for each symbol of the signature, the argument positions on which replacements are allowed. If the replacement restrictions are less restrictive than those expressed by the so-called canon-ical replacement map, then CSR can be used for com...

BACKGROUND Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become an integral element of how the alcohol industry promotes itself. The existing analyses of CSR in the alcohol industry point to the misleading nature of these CSR practices. Yet, research has been relatively sparse on how the alcohol industry advances CSR in an attempt to facilitate underlying business interests, and in what ways the on...

U nder pressure to improve s t ud e nt a c h ie ve me nt , schools throughout the nation have, over the past 20 years, turned to comprehensive school reform (CSR). CSR is based on the idea that a school should have a coherent educational strategy that addresses all aspects of its operations and aligns them in a well-functioning delivery system. Hundreds of CSR models have been developed. More t...

In this paper we draw on insights from theories in the management and corporate governance literature to develop a theoretical model that makes explicit the links between a firm’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) related board attributes, its board CSR strategy, and its environmental and social performance. We then test the model using structural equation modeling approach. We find that th...

We model a capital market in which some proportion of investors get utility from owning firms that undertake spending on corporate social responsibility (CSR). We also assume different categories of firms: those with good CSR fundamentals and those with poor CSR fundamentals. We develop an equilibrium in which investors’ CSR considerations influence their financial portfolio decisions, influenc...

The CSR (Connected Speech Recognition) corpus represents a new DARPA speech recognition technology development initiative to advance the state of the art in CSR. This corpus essentially supersedes the now old Resource Management (RM) corpus that has fueled DARPA speech recognition technology development for the past 5 years. The new CSR corpus supports research on major new problems including u...

There is a growing recognition that firms that practice Corporate Social Responsibility (hereinafter referred to as CSR) actively perform better both socially and economically than those that are inactive. In China, CSR has drawn increasing attention in recent years. Despite the progress which has been achieved, CSR in China is still in its infancy. This paper traces the emergence and evolution...

The classical nonhomologous end-joining (C-NHEJ) DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway employs the Ku70/80 complex (Ku) for DSB recognition and the XRCC4/DNA ligase 4 (Lig4) complex for ligation. During IgH class switch recombination (CSR) in B lymphocytes, switch (S) region DSBs are joined by C-NHEJ to form junctions either with short microhomologies (MHs; "MH-mediated" joins) or no hom...

Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is a key protein required for both class switch recombination (CSR) and somatic hypermutation (SHM) of antibody genes. AID is induced in B cells during an immune response. Lack of AID or mutant form of AID causes immunodeficiency; e.g., various mutations in the C terminus of AID causes hyper IgM (HIGM2) syndrome in humans. The C terminal 10 amino acid...
