Due to a lack of historical data, there is gap in the literature with regard total factor productivity (TFP) series long run for Italy. In this article, by combing information from literature, original TFP estimates assessed “price dual” methodology (where changes prices are used capture physical output), and Cobb–Douglas production equation, we first introduce set new measures Italy between 13...

Over the past four years (1360-1364) we have surgically treated seven infants for lobar emphysema. The pathologic lesion in all patients was in upper lobe of the left lung. Respiratory distress and pneumonia are the cardinal symptoms of patients with this abnormality. Diagnosis is confirmed by chest x-ray. The treatment of choice is lobectomy of affected lobe. 

Studies of CH3, CH3 and CH? have been performed using Hartree-Fock, generalized vale&e bond and configuration interaction wavefunctions, employing a good quality gaussian basis set. The primary emphasis was placed on the calculation of the out-of-plane vibration in CHa and CH;and on the calculation of the electron affmity of CHs. We fmd that CHz and CH; are planar with frequencies of v2 = 585 c...

This paper presents a new circular photonic crystal fiber (C-PCF) for effective dispersion compensation covering E to L wavelength bands ranging from 1360-1625 nm. To investigate its guiding properties, finite element method (FEM) with a perfectly matched layer absorbing boundary condition is used. From our numerical simulation, it is found that the designed C-PCF simultaneously shows a large n...

AIM To describe trends over time and types of disability for children born in a French county from 1980 to 1991. METHODS Data were collected from medical records of a morbidity register; disabled children with at least one severe deficiency have been included. Prevalence rates are given per 1000 resident children, over four three-year periods. RESULTS Overall, 7.73 per 1000 children (that i...

The disease early warning system (DEWS) was introduced in the immediate aftermath of the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan, with the objective to undertake prompt investigation and mitigation of disease outbreaks. The DEWS network was replicated successfully during subsequent flood and earthquake disasters as well as during the 2008-09 internally displaced persons' crisis. DEWS-generated alerts, prom...

A publication trend in Physics Education by employing bibliometric analysis leads the researchers to describe current scientific movement. This paper tries to answer “What do Physics education scientists concentrate in their publications?” by analyzing the productivity and development of publications on the subject category of Physics Education in the period 1980–2013. The Web of Science databa...
