We investigate the sensitivity of oxygen content and true utilization key low-oxygen regions Ω to pointwise changes in biological production. To understand how combined water biogenic particle transport controls patterns fate ocean, we develop new relationships that link steady-state deficit downstream upstream rate (OUR), respectively. find amount from will be lost per unit volume at point r i...

PURPOSE To understand how adults living in a low-income, public housing community characterize meaningful activity (activity that gives life purpose) and if through short-term intervention, could overcome identified individual and environmental barriers to activity engagement. METHODS We used a mixed methods design where Phase 1 (qualitative) informed the development of Phase 2 (quantitative)...

Dividend relevance has been a subject of significant recent interest for academicians and researchers in the area of hospitality finance. The subject has attracted noticeable controversy, given the stringent or no-dividend payout policies observed in many hospitality firms.

The communication which I venture to bring before you this evening has three objectives in view. First, to examine the statement frequently made and supported by statistics, that puerperal mortality is as high to-day as it was seventy years ago; second, to question the opinion, also widely held, that the bulk of this mortality is the result of instrumental and other interference with the course...

Using borehole strainmeters, we detected a 13-day long slow slip event in 2011 with Mw = 5.45 on the Longitudinal Valley Fault, Taiwan. It has been likely promoted by significant Coulomb stress changes (∼0.5–1 MPa) imparted combination of coseismic and postseismic 2003 Chengkung earthquake. kinematic models, infer that accommodated about 15%–35% deficit accumulated from 1997 to its source regio...

Indebtedness is a huge global issue faced by all economies around the world since older time until today. The high and increasing debt levels have become concern, public has core of turmoil that began few years ago. When government's spending in year exceeds its revenue, there will be budget deficit for fiscal year. Hence, it must use to fill funding gap. This situation creates an annual defici...

This paper empirically evaluates the impact of health on wealth. Using frailty index as a measure and carefully accounting for dynamic relationship between wealth, I find that su˙ering one more deficit leads, average, to 2.45 percent decline in household net worth individuals age 50 100. The with no college degree, poor health, over 70 is significantly negatively a˙ected by health. results pass...

This review focuses on the evidence accumulated in humans and animal models to the effect that mitochondria are key players in the progression of heart failure (HF). Mitochondria are the primary source of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate that fuels the contractile apparatus, and are thus essential for the pumping activity of the heart. We evaluate changes in mitochondrial morphology...
