How did the Federal Reserve Bank react to the stock market bubble of the late 1990s? At a Symposium sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City in Jackson Hole, Wyoming on August 30, 2002, Chairman Alan Greenspan remarked that economists do not currently have a way to measure a stock market bubble convincingly. He also argued that in the absence of such a measure, it was difficult for ...

involving the rise of the health centre and the health care team. In terms of precursors, these ideas went back at least to 1920; in terms of operational application, the modernization of general practice cannot really be said to have begun before 1966. It may even be argued that the characterization of modern general practice-"a network of surveillance that discovered, identified and monitored...

The Roscoe B. Jackson Laboratory, known commonly in the scientific field as the Jackson Laboratory, was founded by Clarence Cook Little [5] in May 1929. The lab has been pivotal in research with in vitro [6] fertilization [7], teratomas, gene replacement therapy for birth defects [8] , and more because its researchers have focused from the beginning on developing the mouse [9] as a model organi...

‘Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other hunter whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, “My friend is dead! What can I do?” The operator says “Calm down. I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.” There is a silence, then a gun shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says “OK, n...

For trigonometric polynomials on [− , ] ≡ T , the classical Jackson inequalityEn(f )p C r (f, 1/n)p was sharpened by M. Timan for 1<p<∞ to yield n−r { n ∑ k=1 ksr−1Ek(f )p }1/s C r (f, n−1)p where s =max(p, 2). In this paper a general result on the relations between systems or sequences of best approximation and appropriate measures of smoothness is given. Approximation by algebraic polynomials...
