s paper emphasizes the importance of aneously performing joint spatial and tonal ation when dealing with differently exposed s. This is supported by analyzing an example only jointly simultaneous registration provides rrect result. The registration approach utilizes an ive function that minimizes the sum of the tive variance over pixels of a global coordinate This allows for the pair-wise or si...

The pinna, or ex ternal ear, has been shown experim entally to perform an acoustical tran sfo r­ m ation essential to localization in hum an hearing. The m athem atical form of th e tran sfo rm a­ tion is given, the inverse to the transform ation is shown to exist, and a theory of localization constructed from the evidence. The theory is extended to reverberation and o ther facets of hum an hea...

We have characterized the covalent poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of p53 using an in vitro reconstituted system. We used recombinant wild type p53, recombinant poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) (EC ), and betaNAD(+). Our results show that the covalent poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of p53 is a time-dependent protein-poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation reaction and that the addition of this tumor suppressor protein to ...

We prove the existence and uniqueness of the weak Kähler-Ricci flow on projective varieties with log terminal singularities. It is also shown that the weak Kähler-Ricci flow can be uniquely continued through divisorial contractions and flips if they exist. We then propose an analytic version of the Minimal Model Program with Ricci flow.

We prove Weak Borisov--Alexeev--Borisov Conjecture in dimension three which states that the anti-canonical volume of an $\epsilon$-klt log Fano pair is bounded from above.

We use results from the literature on the determinants of price-cost margins to derive an equation relating labor's share of national income to the in ‡ation rate (as well as to the output gap, the unemployment rate and the capital stock per worker). The equation is tested with a panel of 15 OECD countries. We obtain a robust positive relationship between in ‡ation and the labor share. Our resu...

We investigate, in a model-independent way, the conditions required to obtain a satisfactory model of extended in ation in which in ation is brought to an end by a rst-order phase transition. The constraints are that the correct present strength of the gravitational coupling is obtained, that the present theory of gravity is satisfactorily close to general relativity, that the perturbation spec...

The paper examines the e¤ect of in‡ation on growth in transition countries. It presents panel data evidence for 13 transition countries over the 1990-2003 period; it uses a …xed e¤ects, full-information maximum likelihood, panel approach to account for possible bias from correlations among the unobserved e¤ects and the observed country heterogeniety. The results …nd a strong, robust, negative e...

This paper proposes a di¤erent empirical approach to estimate the UIP by analyzing a large number of cross-country bilateral exchange rates using cross-section analysis. Di¤erent from conventional time-series UIP, cross-sectional UIP is examined with single equation estimation and panel regression model estimation. The exchange rates analyzed here include a broad spectrum of countries: develope...
