Background: Magnesium alloy is not only light in weight but also possesses moderate strength. AZ31-H24 sheet has many applications the automotive and aerospace industries. Experimental stretch forming tests are performed on this to measure material’s formability by constructing limit diagrams. Methods: Several of Nakazima were carr...

Il s'agit d'une patiente de 70 ans, diabétique sous insulinothérapie, admise aux urgences en troubles de conscience. Le scanner cérébral à son admission a montré une hémorragie méningée grade IV de WFNS grade 4 de Fisher avec inondation ventriculaire et hydrocéphalie (A). La patiente a bénéficié d'une dérivation ventriculaire externe. L'angioscanner cérébral (B, C, D) réalisé à H24 a objectivé ...

We use the Survey of Consumer Finances to measure the change in federal tax liability that would result should mortgage interest no longer be deductible from taxable income. We argue that the elimination of this housing tax provision would lead households to reshuffle their balance sheet, thereby lowering the amount of interest income taxes collected. We find that the cost of this tax provision...

From Bottom to Top: The Entire Distribution of Market Income in Germany, 1992-2001 We analyze the distribution and concentration of market incomes in Germany in the period 1992 to 2001 on the basis of an integrated data set of individual tax returns and the German Socio-Economic Panel. The unique feature of this integrated data set is that it encompasses the whole spectrum of the population, fr...

BACKGROUND The infiltration of local anaesthetic (LA), ketorolac, and epinephrine has been suggested to be effective for analgesia after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The part of action of each component of the mixture remains unclear. We investigated the contribution of infiltration of ropivacaine alone on the morphine consumption during the first 24 h after surgery. METHODS Sixty patients u...

A bstmct-A new efficient algorithm for bounded-distance decoding of the Leech la t t ice is presented. The algori thm decodes correctly at least ulp to the guaranteed error-correction radius of the Leech lattice. The proposed decoder is based on projecting the points of the Leech lattice onto the codewords of the (6,3,4) quar te rnary code, the hezacode Ne. Project ion on the hexacode induces p...

The elasticity of taxable income (ETI) is a central parameter for tax policy debates. This paper shows that mean reversion prevents most estimators employed in the literature from obtaining consistent estimates of the ETI. A new method is proposed that will resolve inconsistency due to mean reversion under testable assumptions regarding the degree of serial correlation in the error term. Using ...

Increasing Returns to Education and the Skills Under-Investment Trap We model educational investment and labor supply in a competitive economy with home and market production. Heterogeneous workers are assumed to have different productivities both at home and in the workplace. We investigate the degree to which there is under-investment in human capital, and examine the deadweight losses that a...
