The painting remained there until 1789, when the cathedral was partially destroyed by an earthquake and extensive repairs became necessary. The Last Supper was then taken out of the chapel, and, besides the usual damage from exposure to oil lamps an...

Using the method of explosive sub and supper solution, the existence and boundary behavior of positive boundary blow up solutions for some quasilinear elliptic systems with singular weight function are obtained under more extensive conditions.

Thirty-seven healthy volunteers, 19 of whom had consistently elevated total serum bilirubin (TSB) concentrations, took part in an open, randomised cross-over study to determine the effect of fasting on TSB concentrations. The study comprised of two treatments. During one treatment period volunteers ate a standard supper but fasted for 24 h thereafter. During the other treatment period volunteer...

There are two typical sub-processes in bank production– deposit generation and loan generation. Aiming to open the black box of input-output production of banks, and provide comprehensive and accurate assessment on the efficiency of each stage, this paper proposes a two-stage network model with bad outputs and supper efficiency (US-NSBM). Empirical comparisons show that the US-NSBM may be promi...
