stroke and is, as mentioned previously, associated with a bad prognosis. However, idiopathic CSA is observed in those without any comorbidities and is not necessarily periodic in nature. Moreover, there are no data indicating that the presence of idiopathic or postarousal CSA by itself is a poor prognostic marker for patients, and no consensus on when and how it should be treated. In view of th...

Given the limited research on Small and Mediumsized Enterprises’ (SMEs) contribution to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and even scarcer research on Swiss SMEs, this paper helps to fill these gaps by enabling the identification of supranational SME parameters. Thus, the paper investigates the current state of SME practices in Switzerland and across 15 other countries. Combining the degree...

The spatial interaction between two or more classes of points may cause spatial clustering patterns such as segregation or association, which can be tested using a nearest neighbor contingency table (NNCT). A NNCT is constructed using the frequencies of class types of points in nearest neighbor (NN) pairs. For tests based on NNCTs (i.e., NNCT-tests), the null pattern is either complete spatial ...

To study sleep responses to chronic sleep restriction (CSR) and time-of-day influences on these responses, we developed a rat model of CSR that takes into account the polyphasic sleep patterns in rats. Adult male rats underwent cycles of 3 h of sleep deprivation (SD) and 1 h of sleep opportunity (SO) continuously for 4 days, beginning at the onset of the 12-h light phase ("3/1" protocol). Elect...

This paper presents an evaluation of a robust Voiced-Unvoicedbased large-vocabulary Continuous-Speech Recognition (CSR) system in the presence of highly interfering noise. Comparative experiments have indicated that the inclusion of an accurate Voiced-Unvoiced (V-U) classifier in our design of a CSR system improves the performance of such a recognizer, for speech contaminated by both additive G...

This paper investigates corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its implications for governance by means of a case study of mining, with an analysis of global debates, national discourse and policy, and local manifestations. It includes company-level analysis within a political economy framework, investigating CSR in terms of the discourse, practices, and social relations that define it. The ...

The loss of truck fence reflects the indifference of corporate social responsibility (CSR); meanwhile, it shows the lack of governmental position in CSR construction. Because of the externality of CSR and the real requirement of Chinese social responsibility construction, the government should play a leading role, whose roles should be Regulator, supervisor and facilitator.

We investigate termination of rewriting computations guided by strategy annotations. We show that proofs of termination can be obtained by proving (innermost) termination of context-sensitive rewriting (CSR). Hence, we investigate how to prove innermost termination of CSR using existing methods for proving termination of CSR.

The awareness of Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) and of the co-existence of the obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome and central breathing disturbances has rapidly grown in recent years. CSR is defined by a waxing and waning pattern of the breathing amplitude. Sleep related breathing disorders in patients with heart failure are associated with impaired clinical outcome and survival. While continuo...
