In this paper, we explore the connection between Central Bank Independence (CBI) and inflation under alternative political regimes. We formulate a predictive model that accommodates CBI in analysis of thereafter regroup countries based on choice regimes as well level development. find has statistically significant negative effect adopting full democratic partial autocratic regimes; but are insi...

OBJECTIVE Individuals suffering from dementia are affected by a progressive and significant global deterioration and, consequently, might require longer assistance in the advanced stage of the illness. The illness is a great burden on the person who takes care of a patient, namely, the caregiver. This study aims to analyze the presence and relationship of specific sociodemographic variables, su...

BACKGROUND While transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) coil geometry has important effects on the evoked magnetic field, no study has systematically examined how different coil designs affect the effectiveness of cerebellar stimulation. HYPOTHESIS The depth of the cerebellar targets will limit efficiency. Angled coils designed to stimulate deeper tissue are more effective in eliciting cereb...

BACKGROUND Caregiving burden and depression in family caregivers have been investigated, but little is known about how they affect paid caregivers. The aim of this study was to investigate caregiving burden and depression in paid caregivers of hospitalized patients. METHODS A cross-sectional survey study was conducted in a tertiary referral hospital (Chengdu, China) that enrolled 108 paid car...

As vividly illustrated by the quintessential Watt’s governor a natural procedure to modify the behavior of a dynamical system is to interconnect it with another dynamical system. Examples of this approach abound in modern high–performance practical applications and are proven to be very robust and reliable. These include, among many others, mechanical suspension and flapper systems, flotation d...

This study investigated to what extent and how novice second-language (L2) Spanish learners use the cognitive linguistics-informed concept of boundedness support their development aspect—namely, preterite imperfect. The was presented within framework concept-based instruction (CBI) as part a regular, semester-long U.S. college course for true beginners (N = 16). sociocultural approach CBI has b...

The synergistic effect of 2-chloromethylbenzimidazole (2-CBI) and potassium iodide (KI) for mild steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid solution was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization curves electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). results showed that, with the addition 100 ppm iodide, inhibition efficiecy (IE) 2-CBI had been improved from 91.14% to 96.15%. And parameter different amount...
