The physics potential of e + e − linear colliders is summarized in this report. These machines
are planned to operate in the first phase at a center-of-mass energy of 500GeV, before …

This paper presents an overview of the research progress in deterministic global optimization
during the last decade (1998–2008). It covers the areas of twice continuously differentiable …

Mast cells (MC) are a bone marrow-derived, long-lived, heterogeneous cellular population
that function both as positive and negative regulators of immune responses. They are …

Finite-width corrections based on a generalized effective range formula for pion-pion scattering
modify by a non-negligible amount the well-known relation between Γ (ρ→ e+ e−) and Γ (…

Despite the importance of trust and commitment in relationship marketing, the scholarly
inquiry on the issue is rather impeded in several ways. Furthermore, when it comes to the …

The authors consider the relationships among characteristics associated with the consumer
(risk aversion and variety seeking), the brand (brand reputation and availability of substitute …

Investigates the behavioural consequences of customer satisfaction. More specifically, the
authors examine the impact of customer satisfaction on customers’ behavioural responses. …

Background An earlier analysis of this phase 3 trial showed that the addition of a cyclin-dependent
kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor to endocrine therapy provided a greater benefit …

During the last decade, an increasing number of studies have been concerned with the factors
that lead to new service success. Quite a few studies, however, have examined the role of …

Existing methods to improve detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) have focused on
genomic alterations but have rarely considered the biological properties of plasma cell-free …
