Photoacoustic tomography is a recently developed imaging modality that can provide high spatial-resolution images of hemoglobin distribution in tissues such as the breast. Because breast cancer is an angiogenesis-dependent type of malignancy, we evaluated the clinical acceptability of breast tissue images produced using our first prototype photoacoustic mammography (PAM) system in patients with...

The structure of RNase P protein from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima was determined at 1.2-A resolution by using x-ray crystallography. This protein structure is from an ancestral-type RNase P and bears remarkable similarity to the recently determined structures of RNase P proteins from bacteria that have the distinct, Bacillus type of RNase P. These two types of protein sp...

in this study, 3 models of time-varying parameters (tvp), dynamic model selection (dms) and dynamic model averaging (dma) and a comparison with the ordinary least squares (ols) method in matlab in the time period 2003-2013 (with data on a monthly basis) are discussed. in the present study, the variables of unofficial exchange rate changes, interest rate changes and inflation in oil price foreca...

Increasing energy efficiency is often considered to be one of the main ways reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, gains that reduce cost services result in use rebounding and potential savings being eaten up. Empirical research quantifies economy-wide rebound effect while taking dynamic economic responses improvements into account limited. We a Structural Factor-Augmented Vector Autoregre...

We estimate a time-varying parameter VAR (TVP-VAR) with stochastic volatility using U.S. data to study the effects of uncertainty shocks on inflation. find response inflation be negative in post-WWII period. Our findings suggest that propagate like aggregate demand and not supply shocks.
