TL;DR: The Wutai granitoids have higher K 2 O, LILE and Rb/Sr but lower Sr/Y and La N /Yb N than the Fuping TTG gneisses, are characterized by Nd T DM from 2.5 to 2.8 and e Nd( t ) from 0.49 to 3.34 as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present critical analyses of the philosophy and methodology of the current research in the psychology of acculturation, arguing that the dominant mode of research does not correspond to the essential qualities of the phenomenon under scrutiny.

TL;DR: Data support recent guidelines from several countries that recommend the use of inhaled corticosteroids in moderate and severe asthma.
Abstract: Objective. —To examine the relationship between patterns of use of inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate and the risk of fatal and near-fatal asthma. Design. —Nested case-control analysis of a historical cohort; a further analysis. Setting. —The 12 301 residents of Saskatchewan aged 5 to 54 years who were dispensed 10 or more asthma drugs from 1978 to 1987. Patients. —The 129 persons who experienced asthma death (n=44) and near-death (n=85) and their 655 controls matched as to age and date of entry into the cohort, with the additional matching criteria of at least one hospitalization for asthma in the prior 2 years, region of residence, and having received social assistance. Main Outcome. —Life-threatening attacks of asthma defined as death due to asthma or the occurrence of hypercarbia, intubation, and mechanical ventilation during an acute attack of asthma. Results. —After accounting for the risk associated with use of other medications and adjustment for markers of risk of adverse events related to asthma, subjects who had been dispensed, on average, one or more metered-dose inhalers of beclomethasone per month over a 1-year period had a significantly lower risk of fatal and near-fatal asthma (odds ratio, 0.1; 95% confidence interval, 0.02 to 0.6). Conclusion.—These data support recent guidelines from several countries that recommend the use of inhaled corticosteroids in moderate and severe asthma. ( JAMA . 1992;268:3462-3464)

TL;DR: The tradeoff between speedup and efficiency that is inherent to a software system is investigated and it is shown that for any software system and any number of processors, the sum of the average processor utilization and the attained fraction of the maximum possible speedup must exceed one.
Abstract: The tradeoff between speedup and efficiency that is inherent to a software system is investigated The extent to which this tradeoff is determined by the average parallelism of the software system, as contrasted with other, more detailed, characterizations, is shown The extent to which both speedup and efficiency can simultaneously be poor is bound: it is shown that for any software system and any number of processors, the sum of the average processor utilization (ie efficiency) and the attained fraction of the maximum possible speedup must exceed one Bounds are given on speedup and efficiency, and on the incremental benefit and cost of allocating additional processors An explicit formulation, as well as bounds, are given for the location of the knee of the execution time-efficiency profile, where the benefit per unit cost is maximized >

TL;DR: Results indicated increased chewing time did not increase total daily saliva secretion because increased eating and ruminating saliva was associated with decreased resting saliva, and feeding SI increased the risk of acidosis, because cows ate a higher proportion of concentrate than intended.
