This article is an interdisciplinary study of CCP military decision making at the outset of the Civil War. The historical phenomenon of the Communists’ invocation of “Madrid” is studied in the context of the Chinese civil war in Manchuria, particularly the battle of Sipingjie. The strategic culture of the Communist leaders is discussed thematically in terms of their desire for a decisive battle, t

BACKGROUND: Legumes are one of the most common foods causing allergic reactions in children and adults. Cross-reacting antibodies are frequently demonstrated in this family but the real clinical cross-reactivity is uncommon. OBJECTIVE: To report a case of lupine-induced anaphylaxis and to elucidate in vivo and in vitro cross-reactivity with some legumes. METHODS: Skin prick test (SPT) with some le

Indapamide is a nontiazidic sulfonamide diuretic which has not been previously reported as a cause of fixed drug eruption. We describe a patient who experienced several episodes of fixed drug eruption during treatment with indapamide. The diagnosis was confirmed by positive controlled oral challenge test. The possible existence of cross-reactivity with other sulfonamide derivatives was investigate

Rapportens syftar till att granska förekomsten av eventuellt signifikant samband mellan resultatmanipulering och börsintroduktion för svenska företag samt därmed bidra till att reducera det rådande forskningsgapet på den svenska marknaden. Dessutom ämnades eventuella utmärkande egenskaper för företag som manipulerar resultatet på svenska marknaden att studeras, genom tillämpning av modifierade JonThe aim of the report has been to analyze whether Swedish companies that undergo initial public offering use Earnings Management. Further, the aim has been to analyze whether there are explanatory variables for the companies that uses Earnings Management with the use of the modified Jones model. This study has been performed with a quantitative method with a deductive approach for an analysis of

Several digestive system models have been developed, varying in sophistication. These models measure under dynamic, semi-dynamic, or batch conditions, with notable distinctions between them. This chapter covers models for gastrointestinal digestion, including static and dynamic models, and important aspects of digestion and fermentation, such as bioaccessibility, bioavailability, and bioconversion

A controller for critical vehicle maneuvering is proposed that avoids obstacles and keeps the vehicle on the road while achieving heavy braking. It operates at the limit of friction and is structured in two main steps: a motion-planning step based on receding-horizon planning to obtain acceleration-vector references, and a low-level controller for following these acceleration references and transf

BACKGROUND: Intraabdominal and retroperitoneal sarcomas (IaRS) are malignant connective tissue tumors. Surgical resection is often the only curative treatment. The primary objective was to report the mid-term outcomes following contemporary treatment protocols and identify prognostic factors.METHODS: A retrospective review of consecutive patients (n = 107) with IaRS treated at single center from 2

Control systems can show robustness to many events, like disturbances and model inaccuracies. It is natural to speculate that they are also robust to sporadic deadline misses when implemented as digital tasks on an embedded platform. This paper proposes a comprehensive stability analysis for control systems subject to deadline misses, leveraging a new formulation to describe the patterns experienc

Ray Bradbury is one of the most influential American writers within speculative fiction. Critics has mostly focused on his science fiction novels, but he has a series of books that through nostalgia and fantastical elements have described a part of America, both specific and universal. The three novels Dandelion Wine, Farewell Summer and Something Wicked This Way Comes have together shaped Green T

This paper deals with unequal error protection for code symbols of convo-lutional codes. The unequal error protection can be achieved due to different distanceproperties of output sequences and is sometimes described in terms of the correspondingeffective free distances. However, in many situations the effective free distance does notprovide enough information on the error-correcting capability. W

Under de senaste åren har södra halvklotet och den vidsträckta Södra oceanen fått ökad upp-märksamhet och betydelse inom det vetenskapliga samfundet med avseende på globala klimatförändringar och den globala CO2-cykeln, särskilt vad gäller förhållandena under senaste istidsmaximum (Last Glacial Maximum, LGM) och holocen. Man menar att Västvindbältet på södra halvklotet (Southern Hemisphere WesterlIn recent years, the Southern Hemisphere (SH) and the vast Southern Ocean (SO) have gained awareness and importance within the scientific community in relation to global climate change and the global CO2 cycle, par-ticularly since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and into the Holocene. It is believed that the Southern Hemi-sphere Westerlies (SHW) play a key role in regulating climate change in the m

Evolution is a fundamental and crucial part of life that hinges on two central properties: robustness and evolvability. Robustness is required to maintain essential traits despite mutations while evolvability produces novel traits that might prove beneficial in survival. While both robustness and evolvability are necessary, embracing them simultaneously seemingly leads to an inherent conflict due

Patients under the jurisdiction of the Scania Region of Sweden have since 2014 had the ability to choose their care provider regarding opioid substitution treatment, OST. This ability to choose has come from the advancements of the New Public Management, NPM, within Swedish health care. The goal of which has been to increase the availability of OST, as well as to strengthen the patient's auton

This master thesis assesses the potential of Cloud Manufacturing applications in large-scale manufacturing. Firstly, this thesis determines the benefits and drawbacks of and the barriers to the implementation of Cloud Manufacturing. Secondly, five interviews were conducted with two companies that had begun implementing Cloud Manufacturing within their organizations. Lastly, Cloud Manufacturing was

This experimental study investigates the effect of diversity initiatives on White individuals' perception of discrimination against minorities and whether this relationship interacts with their meritocratic values. With an increased global emphasis on diversity and inclusion, organizations strive to reduce discrimination and instead promote a culture that values diversity. However, the effecti

The building industry, like many others, are currently experiencing the effects of the digitalization, and the increased spread of smart buildings is a result of this. Much research has been done on smart buildings and their predecessors intelligent buildings, but there is limited research available on how entrance systems should be designed for smart buildings, especially regarding their connecte
