Resentment of his wife and her involvement with the mystical Rasputin was also widespread and helped contribute to the collapse of the monarchy. Also the state of the country during World War One l...

Spencer-Attix Cavity Theory

2 Spencer Bloch And

Let X be a smooth, projective algebraic variety over an algebraically closed field k, and let H(X) denote a Weil cohomology theory. The existence of algebraic cycles on X×X inducing as correspondences the various Künneth projectors π : H(X) → H (X) is one of the standard conjectures of Grothendieck, [8], [9]. It is known in general only for the cases i = 0, 1, 2d − 1, 2d where d = dimX. The pur...

Madden-julian Oscillation

[1] The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is the dominant component of the intraseasonal (30–90 days) variability in the tropical atmosphere. It consists of large-scale coupled patterns in atmospheric circulation and deep convection, with coherent signals in many other variables, all propagating eastward slowly ( 5 m s ) through the portion of the Indian and Pacific oceans where the sea surface i...

This paper analyses the pure time-series properties of doctors’ fees in Ireland to assess whether a structural change in the series is observed at the time of the change in reimbursement in 1989. Such a break would be consistent with doctors responding to the reimbursement change in a manner predicted by supplier-induced-demand behaviour and would provide indirect evidence that such inducement ...
