The compulsory adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) in Europe has been one of the most important developments in the accounting and finance literature in the last couple of years. IFRSs have promised to provide more accurate and transparent financial statements, and hence to be more value-relevant to investors than local GAAP. Because there are broadly two different a...

Higher wages are generally thought to increase human capital production, particularly in the developing world. We introduce a simple model of human capital production in which investments and time allocation differ by age. Using data on test scores and schooling from rural India, we show that higher wages increase human capital investment in early life (in utero to age 2) but decrease human cap...

Policies may change the returns to transmitting cultural norms to the next generation, unintentionally changing cultural practices. I study cultural norms that determine which children support their parents in their old age in Indonesia and Ghana. Consistent with a model where these norms play the dual role of increasing old age support and ameliorating incomplete contracting problems between p...

In this work, we investigate the joint optimization of base station (BS) location, its density, and transmit power allocation to minimize the overall network operational cost required to meet an underlying coverage constraint at each user equipment (UE), which is randomly deployed following the binomial point process (BPP). As this joint optimization problem is nonconvex and combinatorial in na...

Protein energy malnutrition is an important problem in developing countries. Neurological changes is associated with sever malnutrition. Aim of Work: Our study seeks to document the morphological changes in the brain of infants suffering from severe malnutrition of both edematous and non-edematous types and to follow up these changes and its outcome after nutritional rehabilitation according to...

The present study was conducted to prepare oil emulsified (OE) infectious bronchitis (IB) experimental vaccines. The vaccines were prepared using the vaccinal strain H-120 Infectious Bonchitis virus (IBV). The virus was cultivated in 9-day old embryonated eggs via allantoic cavity route. Allantoicamniotic fluid (AAF) was collected and inactivated with formalin @ 0.12%. Water in oil emulsion was...

BACKGROUND Busulfan(Bus) is a chemotherapy drug that is widely used for cancer treatment. However, administration of busulfan may cause temporary or permanent sterility in male patients. Therefore, reduction of this side is necessary. OBJECTIVE evaluation of the protective effects of L-carnitine and testis homogenized tissue(THT) on sperm parameters and the testis structure after busulfan tre...

Many plant growth regulators (PGRs) are known to alleviate the negative effects of drought stress in plants. However, limited research has been conducted to investigate the potential benefits of exogenous application of PGRs in wheat plants grown under drought stress. In the present study, effects of salicylic acid (SA) and chlormequat chloride (CCC) on drought-stress induced changes in morpho-...
