Medical Students' Attitude Towards Research at the Completion of Basic Science Courses

Introduction: Assessing the attitude of medical students who has passed basic sciences, toward research and research activities in basic sciences, can provide a powerful basis for future interventions and improvement in their attitudes. In this study in Isfahan Medical School, the attitude of newcomer medical students toward research and specially research in basic sciences has been investigate...

Can We Explain Banks' Capital Structures?

www.philadelphiafed.org While this view appears plausible, it actually contradicts the evidence of the last 20 years, which shows that banks do not appear to hold the minimum amount of equity required by regulators. Furthermore, while banks are typically highly leveraged compared with most nonfinancial firms, this doesn’t mean that similar forces are not at work when banks and nonfinancial firm...

Economists are still divided into two factions: those who believe that monetary policy does have real (inflation-adjusted) effects and those who are convinced that it affects only nominal variables, that is, nominal interest rates and prices.

Simulations of Nanocrystalline Metals at the Atomic Scale. What Can We Do? What Can We Trust?

In recent years it has become possible to study the properties of nanocrystalline metals through atomic-scale simulations of systems with realistic grain sizes. A brief overview of the main results is given, such as the observation of a reverse Hall-Petch effect — a softening of the metal when the grain size is reduced. The limitations of computer simulations are discussed, with a particular fo...
