In contrast to deterministic or nondeterministic computation, it is a fundamental open problem in randomized computation how to separate diierent ran-domized time classes (at this point we do not even know how to separate linear randomized time from O(n log n) randomized time) or how to compare them relative to corresponding deterministic time classes. In other words we are far from understandi...

Chromosomal instability is a common finding in all malignant tumor types. Structural chromosome aberrations are frequently caused by non-random DNA damage at locus-specific regions of the genome, known as common fragile sites (cFS). DNA at cFS can suffer double-strand breaks when cells are grown under conditions of replication stress. cFS are considered to be present in all individuals and repr...

Syndecan-3 gets the message B espalov et al. catch several growth factors that are essential for brain development being unfaithful. The researchers show that the molecules consort with a second receptor. Glial cell line–derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and three related growth factors make up the GDNF family ligands, or GFLs. The molecules are movers and shapers in the nervous system. GFLs n...

Modern processors use branch prediction and speculative execution to maximize performance. For example, if the destination of a branch depends on a memory value that is in the process of being read, CPUs will try guess the destination and attempt to execute ahead. When the memory value finally arrives, the CPU either discards or commits the speculative computation. Speculative logic is unfaithf...

BACKGROUND Contraceptive use is low in developing countries which are still largely driven by male dominated culture and patriarchal values. This study explored family planning (FP) decisions, perceptions and gender dynamics among couples in Mwanza region of Tanzania. METHODS Twelve focus group discussions and six in-depth interviews were used to collect information from married or cohabiting...

Sustainability has become an important driver in defining business strategies, affecting most critical corporate functions and changing the way which value is created, communicated, distributed. This increasingly impacting marketing practices, particular, through promoting development of sustainable food sector. In line with this, our study aimed to investigate if how practices affect consumer ...
