Oxymetazoline is a decongestant. It works by constricting (shrinking) blood vessels (veins and arteries) in your body. The nasal formulation acts directly on the blood vessels in your nasal tissues. Constriction of the blood vessels in your nose and sinuses leads to drainage of these areas and a decrease in congestion. Oxymetazoline is an adrenomimetic that nonselectively agonizes α1...

AIM This study tested the null hypothesis that there is no difference on microleakage of dentin-bordered composite restorations using single or double coats of adhesive from one-bottle adhesive systems. METHODS AND MATERIALS The enamel surface was removed from freshly extracted bovine teeth, and standardized Class V cavities (3 x 3 x 1.5 mm) were made at the cervical areas of buccal surfaces....

objective: adverse surface interactions between one-bottle adhesives and chemical-cured composites may occur with delayed light activation of light-cured composites. the purpose of this study was to assess the effects of delayed activation of light-cured composites on shear bond strength of two one-bottle adhesives with different acidity to bovine dentin. materials and methods: flat dentin surf...

This paper examines whether UK firms that locate their R&D activity in the USA benefit more than other UK firms from knowledge spillovers originating from US R&D. Patent data provides a firm-level measure of the location of innovative activity, which enables the identification of knowledge spillovers associated with "technology sourcing". Our identification strategy helps to address various pro...

Blundell, Pistaferri, and Preston (American Economic Review, 2008, 98(5), 1887–1921) report an estimate of household consumption insurance with respect to permanent income shocks 36%. In replicating findings for their model data, we find that this is distorted by a code error not robust weighting scheme generalized method moments (GMM) or consideration quasi maximum likelihood estimation (QMLE)...

I demonstrate that radio observations in the literature to date of optically-selected quasars are largely inadequate to reveal the full extent of their jet-activity. I discuss a recent example of an optically-powerful quasar, which is radio-quiet according to all the standard classifications, which Blundell & Rawlings discovered to have a > 100 kpc jet, and show that other than being the first ...
