We estimate the yield curve gap in Japan and examine whether it has contributed to sustained low growth inflation rates observed since beginning 2000s. use a semi-structural empirical model that generalizes Laubach Williams’ approach, considering entire range of maturities interest dealing with issue mixed frequency sampling. An important result is that, even absence zero lower bound, monetary ...

In applied linguistics research interest has surged in recent years for questions related to individuals’ development and change. The most commonly used methods the field analyzing repeated measures data, studying variation stability individual change, investigating how level outcomes relate group may not be robust available. this tutorial, we introduce a state-of-the-art longitudinal data anal...

-Continuous labelling of urethane induced pulmonary adenomata in adult male A2G mice at intervals up to 20 weeks showed that the growth fraction fell progressively from 18% at 7 weeks to 70, at 20 weeks. This fall appears to be wholly responsible for the decrease in production of adenoma cells with age. A fraction labelled mitoses curve was constructed for pulmonary adenomata at 14 weeks post u...

Light is an effective factor in cell suspension culture and must be controlled for optimizing cell growth. Growth of anthocyanin producing suspension cells of a red-fleshed genotype of apple (RFA) was assessed in response to blue diode laser (BDL) and red He Ne (RHNL) laser. The suspension cells in L-shaped test tubes were exposed to short-term laser radiation for 20 min in a rotary shaker. The...

The relationship between the binding of L-triiodothyronine (T3) to nuclear receptors and the induction of growth hormone synthesis was examined in cultured GH1 cells, a rat pituitary cell line. After 24 hr, T3 induced a maximal 4-fold increase in the rate of growth hormone wynthesis; the T3 concentration that induced a half-maximal increase was 0.22 nM. The biologic dose-response curve was shif...
