Heavy mirror fermions along with a new strong gauge interaction capable of breaking the electroweak gauge symmetry dynamically were recently introduced under the name of katoptrons. Their main function is to provide a viable alternative to the Standard-Model Higgs sector. In such a framework, ordinary fermions acquire masses after the breaking of the strong katoptron group which allows mixing w...

The information-based agricultural system plays a profound role in agricultural economic and social development in long term. There are various practices worldwide, both successful and unsuccessful. In recent years new technologies blossomed, if those new technologies succeed in the developed world, does it hold true for China? The alternative choices in informationbased system development shou...

Akey question for organizational learning research is to identify opportunities and constraints for firms to gain useful information from the activities and performance of other firms. We argue that market-level turnover events generate and release vicarious information that small multiunit organizations can use to enhance their likelihood of survival. We focus on two specific turnover events, ...

The goal of this deliverable is to provide accurate models of existing terrestrial networks, to be used in conjunction with the user behavior and application models defined in WP 1. In order to achieve this objective, a survey of the most widely used terrestrial network characteristics was done, with special attention given to those characteristics that should have a direct impact on user and a...

We describe the Responsive User Body Suit (RUBS), a tactile instrument worn by performers that allows the generation and manipulation of audio output using touch triggers. The RUBS system is a responsive interface between organic touch and electronic audio, intimately located on the performer’s body. This system offers an entry point into a more intuitive method of music performance. A short ov...

Study population The study population reflected an average patient from the MADIT-II. Patients of either sex who were older than 21 years of age were eligible if they had had a documented MI at least one month before entry and a documented ejection fraction of 30% or less within 3 months before entry. Patients were not eligible if they had an indication approved by the US Food and Drug Administ...
