To identify, with a genome-wide approach, additional hypermethylated could used for more accurate analysis of early diagnosis, we analyzed tumor and adjacent nontumor tissues from 62 Taiwanese cases using Illumina arrays (Illumina, Inc., San Diego, CA) screen 26,486 autosomal CpG sites.

This article examines the effects on cost stickiness of firms’ involvement in corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. Cost represents asymmetric behavior whereby magnitude increases response to an increase activity level is greater than decreases with a decrease level.
