In a naturalistic longitudinal design 133 consecutive inpatients with alcohol dependence syndrome were followed up for one year following discharge from the hospital. 59 patients (group 1) paid follow up visit at regular intervals whereas 28 subjects (group 2)never returned despite three consecutive postal intimations. Rest of the patient were irregular in follow up. The individuals in group 1 ...

Prior research suggests that firms’ ability to benefit from their technologies is determined by the strength of intellectual property (IP) laws and inimitability technologies. We complement this explanation suggesting generation profits technology also driven how effectively firms engage in patent infringement litigation (i.e., take legal action against rivals) create isolating mechanisms prote...

Emergency never runs with earlier intimations and indications. In the real world and practical life, detecting and perceiving such emergencies and reporting them are a genuine test and tough challenge. Smartphones Systems for Emergency Management (SPSEM) provide details of existing emergency applications and provide a new direction to overcome the traditional problem having manual intercession ...

A long-term historical perspective illuminates the twin roles of interaction and sequence learning in programming by demonstration, and reveals the parallel growth of machine learning as a research area in its own right. A view ...

Tumor sequencing has revolutionized oncology, allowing for detailed interrogation of the molecular underpinnings of cancer at an individual level. With this additional insight, it is increasingly apparent that not only do tumors vary within a sample (tumor heterogeneity), but also that each patient's individual tumor is a constellation of unique molecular aberrations that will require an equall...
