As a historical era, postmodernism signifies transition from inflexible and logical positivism and entry into a new view to science. Postmodernism offers a number of nursing practice revise that including humanism, conditions, and borderless, multi-voice, view, and multicultural world, changes in meaning of knowledge, and life-long learning. Demographic changes, technological advances, ethnic a...

This paper explores the development of Supply Chain Management studies and identifies three eras: Creation, Integration, and Globalization. The study then focuses on the development of supply chain management in the integration era, and specifically on the identified gap in adoption of web based processes. Electronic Market places are introduced as one of the web based tools that can help with ...

String cosmology solutions are examined in a generalized phase-space including sources representing arbitrary corrections to lowest order string-dilatongravity effective action. We find a set of necessary conditions for a graceful exit transition from a dilaton-driven inflationary phase to a radiation dominated era. We show that sources allowing such a transition have to violate energy conditio...

We compute the spectral index for scalar perturbations generated in a primordial inflationary model. In this model, the transition of the inflationary phase to the radiative era is achieved through the decay of the cosmological term leading a second order phase transition and the characteristics of the model allow to implement a set of initial conditions where the perturbations display a therma...

Previously, we showed that the bioactive green tea polyphenol epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) inhibits growth in soft agar of breast cancer cells with Her-2/neu overexpression. Using gene expression profiling, here we show that EGCG treatment of Her-2/neu–driven mammary tumor cells alters the expression of key regulators in the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathway, reducing inva...

This article focuses on the transition of nail consumption that increased from middle Meiji era to prewar period, and examined effect increase in wooden buildings this era. The following points have been clarified.
