health status of individuals and organizations allows expected to have higher performance. due to the fast moving world of today's globalization managers to have a healthy organization must be equipped with a weapon called cultural intelligence. cultural intelligence as an ability to function effectively in different cultural environments is defined.this study examines the effects of cultu...

Regarding our article on the association of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with increased Alzheimer’s disease risk, Bowen et al, Froehner and Wirth, Leow et al, and Brady et al highlight a number of significant considerations that will prove important in the design of future studies that investigate the association of ADT and Alzheimer’s disease. We agree with Bowen et al and Leow et al tha...

Various models featuring horizontal wells with multiple fractures have been proposed to characterize flow behavior over time in tight and shale gas systems. Currently, only very little is known about the effects of nonideal fracture patterns and coupled primary-secondary fracture interactions on reservoir performance in unconventional gas reservoirs. We developed a 3D Voronoi mesh-maker that pr...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) as a non–parametric method is used to measure relative performance of organizational units. The aim of this paper is to develop a new model to evaluate the efficiency of a general two-stage network structures proposed by Li et al.  (2012) for measuring the performance of Decision Making Units (DMUs). In addition, this paper expands the work of Li et al. (2012) an...

The paper by Byrne et al., "Predictors of Dietary Heterocyclic Amine Intake in Three Prospective Cohorts" (1), continues the trend toward estimation of carcinogen intake by dietary questionnaire. They seem to have missed the one paper that combined both analytical chemistry and dietary information (Ji et al.; Ref. 2). The take-home lessons are: (a) Until the analytical chemistry in the 1994 stu...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a relatively new data oriented approach to evaluate performance of a set of peer entities called decision-making units (DMUs) that convert multiple inputs into multiple outputs. Within a relative limited period, DEA has been converted into a strong quantitative and analytical tool to measure and evaluate performance. In an article written by Toloo et al. (2009...

In this paper we consider estimation of the derivative of a density based on wavelets methods using randomly right censored data. We extend the results regarding the asymptotic convergence rates due to Prakasa Rao (1996) and Chaubey et al. (2008) under random censorship model. Our treatment is facilitated by results of Stute (1995) and Li (2003) that enable us in demonstrating that the same con...
