Hospitals and physicians have been working together for years in providing specialized health services. However, Hospital-Physician Relationships are considered lukewarm at best. We build on psychological contract theory to develop an in-depth understanding of how physicians (N=15) and hospital executives (N=15) in Belgium experience and interpret obligations in their working relationship. Our ...

In flat space, the extreme Reissner-Nordstrøm (RN) black hole is distinguished by its coldness (vanishing Hawking temperature) and its supersymmetry. We examine RN solutions to Einstein-Maxwell theory with a cosmological constant Λ, classifying the cold black holes and, for positive Λ, the " lukewarm " black holes at the same temperature as the de Sitter thermal background. For negative Λ, we c...

The use of technology as an effective educational tool has been an elusive goal in the past. Specifically, previous attempts at using small personal computers in the classroom to aid students as collaborative and note-taking tools have been met with lukewarm responses. Many of these past attempts were hampered by inferior hardware and the lack of an efficient and user-friendly interface. With t...

Export of organic carbon from surface waters of the Antarctic Zone of the Southern Ocean decreased during the last ice age, coinciding with declining atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO(2)) concentrations, signaling reduced exchange of CO(2) between the ocean interior and the atmosphere. In contrast, in the Subantarctic Zone, export production increased into ice ages coinciding with rising dust flux...

The parliamentary socialists, persuaded as they were of the imminent proletarian majorities, initially viewed socialization as a realistic objective. But historical progress proved them wrong. The first socialist government in Sweden constitutes, in fact, a rare historical attempt to dispossess the bourgeoisie democratically (via a taxation scheme). The policy was a miserable failure, not least...

Bathing epilepsy, also known as water-immersion epilepsy, refers to a rare form of benign reflex epilepsy in which seizures are precipitated by the normal process of domestic bathing. This condition has been confused with true hot water epilepsy, even though bathing in water at normal temperature is the trigger. Focal seizures predominate with a staring gaze, pallor and generalised features fol...

Do you like to stay at the beach on a hot summer day? Sun bathing, chilling, and playing beach games? If it gets too hot, you can quickly cool off in the lukewarm ocean. Can you believe that there are living organisms on our planet that would still freeze on the hottest day of the year? These tiny creatures are called heat-loving microbes, and they do not grow at temperatures lower than 50°C, b...

We study the thermodynamics of de Sitter black holes with a conformally coupled scalar field. The geometry is that of the “lukewarm” Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter black holes, with the event and cosmological horizons at the same temperature. This means that the region between the event and cosmological horizons can form a regular Euclidean instanton. The entropy is modified by the non-minimal co...

After our first tentative detection of the molecular oxygen 16O18O isotopomer obtained during the winter ’92/93 (Pagani et al. 1993), we attempted to confirm our results by making a deep search in other sources and in other positions in L134N. We have not been able to confirm the original detection in any other place in L134N but we obtain good upper limits towards NGC 2264(IRS2), TMC2, OMC3 an...
