Calibration technology provides us with a fast and elegant way to find the supergravity solutions for BPS wrapped M-branes. Its true potential had however remained untapped due to the absence of a classification of calibrations in spacetimes with non-trivial flux. The applications of this method were thus limited in practise to M-branes wrapping Kahler calibrated cycles. In this paper, we catag...

I recognise that the central bankers represented around this table are less prone than others to these pressures. I also recognise that sometimes when central bankers ease policy amid market turmoil, there are often reasons that are not always outwardly visible at the time. With that in mind, I hope no-one assembled here takes too personally my critical look at where we have travelled in the jo...

There has been agreement I think that it was on the whole a pretty good decade for Australia. It’s true, as a number of the papers reminded us, that output growth was on average slower in the 2000s than in the 1990s. It’s also true that productivity growth was slower than in the preceding decade. And while the rise in wealth during the decade was formidable, by the end of the decade household w...

The main aim of this research was to assess the relevance and impact of wellness recovery action planning (WRAP) as a tool for self-management and wellness planning by individuals with mental health problems from pre-existing and newly formed groups, where the possibilities for continued mutual support in the development of WRAPs could be explored. Interviews and focus groups were conducted and...

We report a secondary data analysis investigating age differences in the effects of clause and sentence wrap-up on reading time distributions during sentence comprehension. Residual word-by-word self-paced reading times were fit to the ex-Gaussian distribution to examine age differences in the effects of clause and sentence wrap-up on both the location and shape of participants' reaction time (...

OBJECTIVE The project intended to describe the format of the Wrap-up, a unique multidisciplinary guided debriefing following a child's death. Specific feedback from pediatric residents was sought to assess the model. METHODS The Wrap-ups were timely (within 48 hours of a death), consistent (conducted after each pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) death), multidisciplinary (all care providers...

The PediBooster external cardiac compression device is a minimally invasive, non-blood contacting Biventricular Assist Device (BiVAD) intended for pediatric use. It is being developed as a palliative therapy for acute Postcardiotomy Shock (PCS). The PediBooster extracardiac wrap is pneumatically actuated to circumferentially compress the heart, providing co-pulsation support. Attachment is via ...

Cigarette paper is the wrapping material surrounding the tobacco to form a cigarette rod. Cigarettes can be made from tobacco, filter cigarette paper and filter papers. Filter papers contain plug wrap papers and tipping papers. The permeability range of the highly porous plug wrap papers is one of their most important properties. In addition, other properties, such as mass (g/m), breaking lengt...

This paper presents the dilemma of e-commence age that huge amount of computer –related litigation challenges the law of different countries on how to appropriately resolve these difficulties. Through this paper, the author tries to compare UCITA and EU with China’s approaches, seeks for guidance or inspiration for policymakers in China. The author seriously examines the conflicting interests a...
