Stem cell research and synthetic biology offer complementary insights on the nature of scientific governance in China. Stem cells were essentially promoted by top-down...

We provide experimental evidence of workers' ingratiation by opinion conformity and of managers' discrimination in favor of workers with whom they share similar...

Let d and m be two natural numbers of distinct parities. Let $\pi$ be an admissible irreducible tempered representation of GL(d,F), where F is a p-adic field. We...

Characteristics of service activities are reviewed and a unified conceptual framework of reference is developed. The main considerations of service industry management...

In this paper, we study the smoking behavior of students aged from 18 to 25 using four cross-section data sets collected in France from 1997 to 2006. We focus on the...

We consider the stochastic CGL equation $$ \dot u- \nu\Delta u+(i+a) |u|^2u =\eta(t,x),\;\;\; \text {dim} \,x=n, $$ where $\nu>0$ and $a\ge 0$, in a cube (or in a...

We prove in this article using some convex analysis results of A. S. Lewis the log-concavity of spectral elementary symmetric functions on the space of Hermitian...

We show that the theory of the free group -- and more generally the theory of any torsion-free hyperbolic group -- is $n$-ample for any $n\geq 1$. We give also an...
