With the help of Kirchberg’s and Selberg’s theorems, we prove that the minimal tensor product of B(l2) with itself does not have the WEP (weak expectation property) of Lance.

The male of the Columbia lance nematode, Hoplolaimus columbus, is described and illustrated from a harvested soybean field in Holly Hill, South Carolina. It is morphologically similar to the female, except for reproductive structures.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this trial was to investigate whether breast milk (either breastfed or bottle-fed) has a better analgesic effect than sucrose in newborns born at a postmenstrual age between 32 and 37 weeks. METHODS We conducted a randomized controlled trial at a secondary care neonatal unit in the Netherlands on 71 preterm neonates (postmenstrual age at birth 32-37 weeks), undergoing...

Humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae have adopted unique feeding strategies to take advantage of behavioral changes in their prey. However, logistical constraints have largely limited ecological analyses of these interactions. Our objectives were to (1) link humpback whale feeding behaviors to concurrent measurements of prey using scientific echo-sounders, and (2) quantify how sand lance beha...

To date, the primary focus of global information technology management has been to examine how technologies facilitate the coordination and completion of work within multi-national organizations and improve efficiencies across global supply chains. However, the true global potential of advanced technologies is just starting to emerge. We have discovered that global connectivity has made the wor...

BACKGROUND Skin-to-skin contact, or kangaroo mother care (KMC) has been shown to be efficacious in diminishing pain response to heel lance in full term and moderately preterm neonates. The purpose of this study was to determine if KMC would also be efficacious in very preterm neonates. METHODS Preterm neonates (n = 61) between 28 0/7 and 31 6/7 weeks gestational age in three Level III NICU's ...

Metallurgical aggregates, which are used for metal waste melting, equipped with lances blowing gaseous media. These media allow especially scrap melting and intense homogenization of the resulting melt. In connection this, systems developed both itself on bath surface or into melt gas mixture powdered substances. When designing individual lance tips nozzles, it is necessary to respect certain c...

I review recent progress in perturbative QCD on two fronts: extending next-to-next-toleading order QCD corrections to a broader range of collider processes, and applying twistor-space methods (and related spinoffs) to computations of multi-parton scattering amplitudes.
