Ignorance of the form new physics will take suggests the importance of systematically analyzing all data collected at the energy frontier, with the goal of maximizing the chance for discovery both before and after the turn on of the LHC. Which of the many possible extensions to the Standard Model should you spend your time trying to detect? The standard American technique for finding an answer ...

The problems of treatment posed by total pneumonectomy have always been two-fold. First, the creation of a large dead space was contrary to a cardinal principle of surgery. Secondly, the fate of the “good lung” from both the physiological and pathological standpoint, has been the subject of conjecture. The problem of a large dead space appeared frightening to Graham’ when he performed his first...

AIM The Statue changing the Code of Civil Procedure enforced interchangeable calling of psychiatrist or neurologist as a medical expert for proceedings concerning the incapacitated which aroused objection from psychiatrists because of separate competencies for these specialists and the expectations on the professional code relating to the field of knowledge and competency of a psychiatrist. The...

In 2008, financial tsunami started to impair the economic development of many countries, including Taiwan. The prediction of financial crisis turns to be much more important and doubtlessly holds public attention when the world economy goes to depression. This study examined the predictive ability of the four most commonly used financial distress prediction models and thus constructed reliable ...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common life-limiting, autosomal, recessive genetic disorder. The gene which is responsible for the symptoms of this disease is located on the long arm of chromosome 7 and encodes the protein called Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR), an apical chloride channel in epithelial cells. CF is a "multi-system" disease. It affects many parts of t...

Schizophrenia is a serious mental disease with a high mortality rate and severe social consequences. Due to insufficient knowledge about its etiopathogenesis, curative treatments are not available. One of the most promising new research concepts is the mild encephalitis hypothesis of schizophrenia, developed mainly by Karl Bechter and Norbert Müller. According to this hypothesis, a significant ...

The ergodic hypothesis is a basic hypothesis typically invoked in atmospheric surface layer (ASL) experiments. The ergodic theorem of stationary random processes is introduced to analyse and verify the ergodicity of atmospheric turbulence measured using the eddy-covariance technique with two sets of field observational data. The results show that the ergodicity of atmospheric turbulence in atmo...

It is known from the pedagogic, didactic and experience coordinates that a man doesn't become better by using words but by his actions. They are matchless examples for the self-apprehension process and the perception of the action itself as well as the only worthy and accurate offer for the assessment of the range and the significance of the achieved result. From the earliest stage of their lif...

Background:“Early detection save lives” is a common and almost universal slogan for promoting cancer screening world-wide. Doubtlessly, early detection of cancer can save lives when the detection is followed with appropriate interventions. Conversely, when early detection is not followed with appropriate intervention(s), then it becomes effort in futility. Therefore, we are advocating that the ...
