We endow the group of invertible Fourier integral operators on an open manifold with the structure of an ILH Lie group. This is done by establishing such structures for the groups of invertible pseudodiierential operators and contact transformations on an open manifold of bounded geometry, and gluing those together via a local section.

Parent involvement (PI) in school is associated with more positive academic performance and social competence in children. However, there are inadequacies in current measures of PI and a need for a better understanding of predictors of PI. In this study, measures were obtained from a normative sample of 387 children in kindergarten and first grade from high-risk neighborhoods in 4 different sit...

The Indus Fan, located in the Arabian Sea, contains bulk of sediment eroded from Western Himalaya and Karakoram. Scientific drilling Laxmi Basin by International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) recovered a discontinuous erosional record for River drainage dating back to at least 9.8 Ma, with single sample 15.6 Ma. We dated detrital zircon grains U-Pb geochronology reconstruct how erosion pattern...

Numerous studies explore consumer perception of brands in a more or less passive way. This may still be representative for many situations or decisions we make each day. Nevertheless, sometimes we often actively search for and use information to make informed and reasoned choices, thus implying a rational and thinking consumer. Researchers suggested describing this distinction as low relative t...

Multiparous Brahman cows were assigned by order of calving and sex of calf to groups to be fed to maintain body condition score (BCS) of 6 or greater (M; n = 10) or to lose BCS (L; n = 10). Blood samples were collected weekly for progesterone analysis and at 15, 30 and 45 d after parturition at 15-min intervals for 6 h for determination of immunological (ILH) and biological (BLH) luteinizing ho...

Information sharing is important for different goals, such as sharing reputations of sellers among potential buyers, load balancing, solving technical problems, etc. In the short run, providing information as a response to queries is often unbene cial. In the long run, mechanisms that enable bene cial stable strategies for information exchange can be found. This paper presents such mechanisms a...
