DATA SOURCES Data sources were Medline and other databases from 1982 to June 2015. STUDY SELECTION Two reviewers assessed studies using predetermined inclusion criteria. DATA EXTRAC...

We show that, if U is the representation of SOe(n+1, 1) on L2(Sn) given by (2.11), and P is a bounded operator on L2(Sn), then P belongs to OPS0 1,0(S n) if and only if P (g) = U(g)PU(g)−1 is a C∞ function on SOe(n+1, 1) with values in the Banach space L(L2(Sn)). Introduction Let M be a compact C∞ manifold. Denote by OPS 1,0(M) the space of pseudodifferential operators on M , whose symbols in l...

Published in 1965, John le Carré’s The Looking Glass War was met with little of the acclaim given to its predecessor, Spy Who Came from Cold. In this article, I propose an alternative reading novel, suggesting that it is embroiled long-running debates within British intelligence community, specifically rivalry occurred between Special Operations Executive (SOE) and Secret Intelligence Service W...

Composite electrodes of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) with La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 (LSM), La0.8Sr0.2FeO3 (LSF), and La0.8Sr0.2CoO3 (LSCo) were prepared and tested as solid oxide electrolyzer (SOE) anodes and solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) cathodes at 973 K, using cells with a YSZ electrolyte and a Co-ceria-YSZ counter electrode. The LSM-YSZ electrode was activated by cathodic polarization but the enhan...

China's agricultural sector was the first to experience significant success from reform, but initial reform efforts in the late 1970s were directed at state-owned enterprises (SOEs). In 1978, when farmers started to experiment-secretly and illegally-with the now famous household responsibility system (HRS) in several villages in Anhui province, the government was already introducing the first s...

Identifying a notable object and predicting its importance in front of vehicle are crucial for automated systems’ risk assessment decision making. However, current research has rarely exploited the driver’s attentional characteristics. In this study, we propose an attention-driven saliency estimation (SOE) method that uses attention intensity driver as criterion determining salience objects. Fi...

CONTEXT The effectiveness of tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy ("tonsillectomy") for recurrent throat infection compared with watchful waiting is uncertain. OBJECTIVE To compare sleep, cognitive, behavioral, and health outcomes of tonsillectomy versus watchful waiting in children with recurrent throat infections. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. STUDY SELECTION Tw...

PURPOSE This study aimed to explore cognitive functions in patients with childhood epilepsy with occipital paroxysms (CEOP) and to compare the performance of these patients with that of patients with symptomatic occipital epilepsy (SOE) and healthy control subjects. METHOD Twenty-eight patients with epilepsy (17 CEOP, 11 SOE) were enrolled. The control group had similar demographical characte...

This research shows the importance of supervisor organizational embodiment (SOE) for relationship between ethical leadership and identification. Drawing on social identity model leadership, we propose that leaders promote identification subsequently extra-role performance only when employees perceive their leader shares values norms organization. In a two-wave study multi-source study, our find...
