The primary objective of DSDP Leg 94 was to obtain continuous paleoclimatic records along a roughly north-south transect in the North Atlantic. The magnetostratigraphy of 21 holes at 6 sites cored with the hydraulic piston corer and extended-core-barrel corer is presented here and establishes an independent chronology for these sediments. Nearly complete records were obtained for the last 2.5 m...

AIMS To assess the effect that the duration of face-down posturing has on the outcome of macular hole surgery. METHODS A literature search was conducted to identify studies related to posturing duration following macular hole surgery. Where appropriate, studies were compared in a meta-analysis. The Mantel-Haenszel fixed-effect method was used to calculate the summary statistics. The main outcom...

In this paper, the author extends and further develops research and theory on the relationship between cultural taste and social networks by examining the effects of strength of preference in different cultural domains on the relative closure of personal networks. The results show that as the number of strong preferences held by an individual increases, so do the chances that any two of his or ...

The study of the combinatorial properties of strings of symbols from a finite alphabet (also referred to as words) is profoundly connected to numerous fields such as biology, computer science, mathematics, and physics. Research in combinatorics on words goes back roughly a century. There is a renewed interest in combinatorics on words as a result of emerging new application areas such as molecu...

We demonstrate how a five dimensional Gödel universe appears as the core of resolved two-charge and three-charge over-rotating BMPV black holes. A smeared generalized supertube acts as a domain wall and removes regions of closed timelike curves by cutting off both the inside and outside solution before causality violations appear, effectively allowing the Gödel universe and the over-rotating bl...

nnovativeness nowledge heterogeneity etwork structure Structural holes theory suggests a variety of possible explanations for the empirically observed relationship between structural holes and individual managerial performance. However, little has been done to disentangle onemechanism fromanother. This paper empirically tests amediatedmoderationmodel that distinguishes between the five differen...

We describe a technique for combined fluid-gas exchange and phacoemulsification 2 weeks after macular hole surgery to achieve rapid visual rehabilitation. The procedure uses a standard cataract set and requires minimal vitreoretinal expertise. We encountered no significant complications and obtained long-term outcomes comparable to those with conventional management.

News materials are reports on events occurring in a given time and location. Looking at the influence of individual event, an event that has news reported worldwide is strategically more important than one that is only covered by local news agencies. In fact, news coverage of an event can accurately determine the event’s importance and potential impact on the society. In this paper, we present ...
