Human development and economic development are intrinsically linked. Guided by human capital theory, economists are increasingly recognizing the importance of a range of other skills – in addition to intelligence and technical skills – for economic success. Until fairly recently, years of education completed, literacy, numeracy and IQ – often used as proxies for cognitive ability – were the mai...

introduction:surgeosight is a dedicated intra-operative hand-held gamma camera designed and manufactured by our team to be used for lymphoscintigraphy. although conventional gamma cameras are widely used, they lack the capability of the sentinel lymph node (sln) imaging in the operation room. like conventional gamma cameras it is necessary to calibrate surgeosight for linearity distortion, ener...

On the Identification of Frisch Labor Supplies This paper examines how Frisch labor supplies, and other structural components of the intertemporal model of labor supply, can be recovered from estimates obtained with the approach developed by Heckman and MaCurdy. JEL Classification: J22

We review the localization formula due to Berline-Vergne and Atiyah-Bott, with applications to the exact stationary phase phenomenon discovered by Duistermaat-Heckman. We explain the Weil model of equivariant cohomology and recall its relation to BRST. We show how to quantize the Weil model, and obtain new localization formulas which, in particular, apply to Hamiltonian spaces with group valued...

This study analyzed the determinant of rural household participation in non-farm and level generated income from activities Haramaya district, Ethiopia using cross-section data. During this both primary secondary data were employed Primary collected 196 sample respondents stratified random sampling. In descriptive econometric analysis was carried out. Descriptive statistics applied to character...

Thank you very much for publishing our manuscript entitled: "Quantification and comparison of bone-specific alkaline phosphatase with two methods in normal and paget's specimens" in the latest issue of the journal (Caspian Journal of Internal Medicine, Summer 2012 3(3):478-483). Unfortunately, we noticed the mistake in the date of our study after its publication in your latest revised manuscrip...

We provide Harish-Chandra type formulas for the multivariate Bessel functions and HeckmanOpdam hypergeometric functions as representation-valued integrals over dressing orbits. Our expression is the quasi-classical limit of the realization of Macdonald polynomials as traces of intertwiners of quantum groups given by Etingof-Kirillov Jr. in [EK94]. Integration over the Liouville tori of the Gelf...
