Respiratory defective mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae assigned to complementation group G28 display a deficiency, in the respiratory chain complex coenzyme QH2-cytochrome c reductase. The mutants define a new nuclear gene, designated CBP3, required for the assembly of the complex. Mutations in CBP3 are expressed in the absence of spectrally and immunologically detectable cytochrome b, a cat...

PURPOSE Despite beneficial effects of irradiation/chemotherapy on survival of glioblastoma (GBM) patients, collateral damage to intact neural tissue leads to "radiochemobrain" and reduced quality of life in survivors. For prophylactic neuroprotection, erythropoietin (EPO) is a promising candidate, provided that concerns regarding potential tumor promoting effects are alleviated. METHODS AND M...

Arostrilepis beringiensis (Kontrimavichus et Smirnova, 1991) is redescribed on the basis of its type specimens from Lemmus trimucronatus (Richardson) and material from the collections of the Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals, Novosibirsk from the lemmings Myopus schisticolor (Lilljeborg) and Lemmus sibiricus (Kerr) from the Asian part of Russia. Specimens previously identified as ...

Abstract We show that politically connected banks influence economic activity. exploit shocks to individual banks’ political capital following close U.S. congressional elections. find regional output growth increases when active in the region experience an average positive shock their capital. The effect is economically large, but temporary, and due lower restructuring economy, not increased pr...

In this paper we present a methodology of model-based calibration additional capital needed in an interconnected financial system to minimize potential contagion losses. Building on ideas from combinatorial optimization tailored controlling case complete information about interbank network, augment the model with three plausible types fire sale mechanisms. We then demonstrate power euro area ba...

China is reforming its banking system, partially privatizing and taking on minority foreign ownership of three of its dominant ‘‘Big Four” state-owned banks. This paper helps predict the effects by analyzing the efficiency of Chinese banks over 1994–2003. Findings suggest that Big Four banks are by far the least efficient; foreign banks are most efficient; and minority foreign ownership is asso...
