The recent Canadian Supreme Court decision in Century 21 said that a browse wrap agreement is enforceable once the presence of the link providing the terms and conditions (hereinafter t&c) is adequately communicated to the user of the website. In a browse wrap unlike the act of clicking in a click wrap, an agreement becomes enforceable once the user moves beyond the homepage of a website. The a...

We describe a simple approach to the controlled removal of molecules from the membrane of large unilamellar vesicles made of fatty acids. Such vesicles shrink dramatically upon mixing with micelles composed of a mixture of fatty acid and a phospholipid (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC)), as fatty acid molecules leave the vesicle membrane and accumulate within the mixed mi...

This leads me to comparisons between what I see happening in monetary policy with fi scal policy and competition policy, as examples of other areas of applied and policy-related developments in economics. Monetary policy is different in a number of ways. Monetary policy is quite mature in the way that people think about it and reach conclusions about it. In fact, I think it is probably the area...

I would like to focus my attention on the fi rst part of this Conference, which covered issues associated with fi nancial innovation and the problems which led to and exacerbated the recent episode of fi nancial turmoil. These have prompted a lot of discussion about ways in which fi nancial markets allow risk to be shared and raised concerns about how these markets have operated. There has also...

OBJECTIVE This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of plastic wrap applied after birth and during NICU in preterm infants for prevention of heat loss in preterm infants. STUDY METHODS The Medline (1950 to August 2015), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL, Issue 7, 2015), CINAHL (1982 to August 2015) and the Embase (1974 to August 2015) databases ...

Support vector classification (SVC) method is proposed to dive the wrap and weft point, for recognizing the textile weave. As the densities of wrap and weft are known, this image of the textile can be divided in to rectangle of wrap and weft point. The wrap points’ histograms of R, G and B channel are different from the weft points’. So the SVC can trains the swatch by their eigenvectors which ...

An extensive experimental investigation to understand the aerodynamic behavior of wrap around fin (WAF) missile configuration has been conducted. Various tests using at first a standard model (TTCP) in the trisonic wind tunnel of Imam Hossein University has been performed. The tunnel has attest section of 60×60 cm2 and can operate at Mach numbers of 0.4≤M∞≤2.2 and at attack angles of -4˚≤α≤10˚....
