Each liaison is a ?point person? for faculty and staff of each school or the Graduate Division and serves as a consultant and referral source to faculty, staff, and students who are seeking guidance or support regarding a student who may be in need of counseling services or other support. The Liaison also works with school representatives to better understand the specific needs of the students ...

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Industrial Liaison Program entitled “Networks and Learning.” The topic was neural networks, their power, potential, and promise. A dozen distinguished professors and researchers presented informative and entertaining talks to an audience of technically minded business executives and industrial researchers who subscribe to MIT’s popular series of sympo...

We give a simple algorithm to decide whether a monomial ideal of nite colength in a polynomial ring is licci, i.e., in the linkage class of a complete intersection. The algorithm proves that whether or not such an ideal is licci does not depend on whether we restrict the linkage by only allowing monomial regular sequences, or homogeneous regular sequences, or arbitrary regular sequences. We app...

Patients with chronic or complex medical or psychiatric conditions are treated by many practioners, including general practitioners (GPs). Formal liaison between primary and specialist is often assumed to offer benefits to patients. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of formal liaison of GPs with specialist service providers on patient health outcomes, by conducting a systematic r...

A tetrahedral curve is an unmixed, usually non-reduced, one-dimensional subscheme of projective 3-space whose homogeneous ideal is the intersection of powers of the ideals of the six coordinate lines. The second and third authors have shown that these curves have very nice combinatorial properties, and they have made a careful study of the even liaison classes of these curves. We build on this ...

PURPOSE This paper illustrates some guidelines for the implementation of Consultation-liaison services in contexts where GPs work alone. We present some activity data of our experience in the period 1999-2004 and a critical evaluation of what works and what does not work. CONTEXT In Italy single-sited spontaneous initiatives of co-operation and integration between general practice and psychia...
