In this paper, we present „Quickies‟, an attempt to bring one of the most useful inventions of the 20 th century into the digital age: the ubiquitous sticky notes. Sticky notes help us manage our to-do lists, tag our objects and documents and capture short reminders or information that we may need in the near future. „Quickies‟ enrich the experience of using sticky notes by allowing them to be ...

The aim of this work is to investigate the factors determining cooperation in developing innovations between firms and a specific group of agents, customers and users. The central point of the analysis is two variables recognised in previous studies as important factors in the study of cooperation with these agents, but which basically have been dealt with from a purely theoretical viewpoint. T...

Insights into the three-dimensional (3D) structure of the enzyme, Methionine S-adenosyltransferase (MAT). can throw light on its role in humans and help in evolving se lectivity attributes of inhibitors targeted at bacterial MAT. We report here a 30model of human MAT, using the X-ray structure of MAT from the rat as a template, by comparative protein modeling principles. The resulting model has...

The paper is concerned with sticky weak solutions to the equations of pressureless gases in two or more space dimensions. Various initial data are constructed, showing that the Cauchy problem can have (i) two distinct sticky solutions, or (ii) no sticky solution, not even locally in time. In both cases the initial density is smooth with compact support, while the initial velocity field is conti...

To determine whether the use of an under-mat has an effect on impact forces to the head in Judo, a Judo expert threw an anthropomorphic test device using the Osoto-gari and Ouchi-gari techniques onto a tatami (judo mat) with and without an under-mat. Head acceleration was measured and the head injury criterion (HIC) values with or without under-mat were compared. The use of an under-mat signifi...

Marrow adipose tissue (MAT) is functionally distinct from both white and brown adipose tissue and can contribute to systemic and skeletal metabolism. MAT formation is a spatially and temporally defined developmental event, suggesting that MAT is an organ that serves important functions and, like other organs, can undergo pathologic change. The well-documented inverse relationship between MAT an...

OBJECTIVE To delineate the significance of maternal uniparental disomy 14 (upd(14)mat) and related disorders in patients with a Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS)-like phenotype. STUDY DESIGN We examined 78 patients with PWS-like phenotype who lacked molecular defects for PWS. The MEG3 methylation test followed by microsatellite polymorphism analysis of chromosome 14 was performed to detect upd(14)m...

This paper considers the macroeconomic effects of allowing for nominal debt contracts in the context of a quantitative business cycle model with financial market frictions. In our setting, as in reality, corporations fund themselves by choosing the appropriate mix of nominal defaultable debt and equity securities to issue in every period. Corporate debt is priced fairly taking into account defa...
