Abstract Assistant language teachers (ALTs) in the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) program are composed of 90% of Inner Circle ALTs and 10% of rigorously screened Outer Circle JET ALTs, who are hired under the Education Ministry's “contemporary standard” (i.e., American) English policy.

Background – Because of the increased incidence of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacteria, the use of disinfectants over antibiotics has been encouraged. However, the interactions between disinfectants and host local immunity are poorly understood. Objective – To assess the effects of chlorhexidine digluconate (Chx), with and without selected host defence ...

Reproducibility of serum testing for environmental allergen‐specific IgE in dogs in Europe
Background – Serum testing for allergen‐specific immunoglobulin (Ig)E is commonly employed to identify allergens used for allergen‐specific immunotherapy in dogs, yet the reliability of results has been a matter of debate. Objective – The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproducibility of serum tests for environmental allergen‐specific IgE in ...

On capacity and torsional rigidity
Abstract We investigate extremal properties of shape functionals which are products of Newtonian capacity cap(Ω¯), and powers of the torsional rigidity T(Ω), for an open set Ω⊂Rd with compact closure Ω¯, and prescribed Lebesgue measure. It is shown that if Ω is convex, then cap(Ω¯)Tq(Ω) is (i) bounded from above if and only if q⩾1, and (ii) bounded ...

ABSTRACT Parental reflective functioning (PRF) is an important predictor of infant attachment, and interventions that target parent–infant/toddler dyads who are experiencing significant problems have the potential to improve PRF. A range of dyadic interventions have been developed over the past two decades, some of which explicitly target PRF as part ...

Solving the maximum edge-weight clique problem in sparse graphs with compact formulations
This paper studies the behavior of compact formulations for solving the maximum edge-weight clique (MEWC) problem in sparse graphs. The MEWC problem has long been discussed in the literature, but mostly addressing complete graphs, with or without a ...

Nash equilibria set computing in finite extended games [PDF]
he Nash equilibria set (NES) is described as an intersection of graphs of best response mappings. The problem of NES computing for multi-matrix extended games is considered. A method for NES computing is studied.

Optimal capacitated ring trees
We study a new network design model combining ring and tree structures under capacity constraints. The solution topology of this capacitated ring tree problem (CRTP) is based on ring trees which are the union of trees and 1-trees.
