An integrative review of three theories that explain why some individuals engage in persistent pursuit—coercive control theory, relational goal pursuit, and attachment theory— is presented. The meta-analytic evidence pointing to persistent pursuit as a gendered behavior is reviewed, and coercive control theory is used to explain gender differences. The strong conceptual and empirical overlap be...

1.1. Three surprises of high dimensions. This paper develops asymptotic methods to count faces of random high-dimensional polytopes; a seemingly dry and unpromising pursuit. Yet our conclusions have surprising implications in statistics, probability, information theory, and signal processing with potential impacts in practical subjects like medical imaging and digital communications. Before inv...

The compound LLPNP crystallizes in orthorhombic system, P21 21 21 space group with four molecules in the asymmetric unit. The crystal data for LLPNP is tabled. The lysine molecule (C1-C6/N1/N2/O1/O2) is protonated while the paranitrophenol molecule is deprotonated (C7-C12/N3/O3/O4/O5). The paranitrophenol moiety makes a dihedral angle of 85.87 (9)° with the lysine moiety which shows that they a...

Chronic Limb Threatening Ischemia (CLTI) poses a significant challenge to both patients and vascular surgeons worldwide. With the growing prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), it is imperative explore innovative approaches that improve patient outcomes enhance limb salvage. In 2019, Conte et al. published “Global guidelines on management chronic limb-threatening ischemia” discussing ...

One of the goals of requirements engineering is to capture and document innovation in the form of new product requirements. These product requirements need to express new system functions or new qualities that are most desired by customers while maintaining customer familiarity with existing products. This paper explores the contradiction between the customer desire for revolutionary advancemen...

Recruitment processes need to discriminate among candidates to ensure that the right person with the right skills is selected for advancement opportunities. An innovative recruitment process using an objective structured clinical examination grounded in best practice guidelines resulted in improved recruitment practices for senior nursing clinical expert roles. Candidates' skills, knowledge, an...

1 Radiologic diagnostic decision making is difficult. The breadth of possible abnormalities that are identifiable in a radio-logic image is large. Hence, the length of radiology residencies is longer and the trend toward subspecialization is increasing. Radiologic images are becoming more complex, both in amount of information potentially gleaned and in data provided. Use of radiologic imaging ...
