The feet of birds are important in the regulation of core temperature (Kahl 1963, Steen and Steen 1965, Johansen and Millard 1973) and are particularly effective in heat transfer when birds are normoor hyperthennic (Steen and Steen 1965). Under natural conditions, they must also be sites of considerable heat loss when they are immersed in cold water or in contact with cold substrates (e.g., ice...

1. YKL-40 In a search of new bone proteins, the glycoprotein YKL-40 was identified in 1989 to be secreted in vitro in large amount by the human osteosarcoma cell line MG63. The protein was named YKL-40 based on its three N-terminal aminoacids Tyrosine (Y), Lysine (K) and Leucine (L) and its molecular mass of 40 kDa (Johansen et al. 1992). This protein was later found to be similar to a protein ...

The level of capacity in a common-pool industry vis-à-vis a sustainable target level of yield simultaneously indicates the economic state of the industry, the success of its regulation, and the pressure on stocks. The main methods to assess capacity and its utilisation operate at the firm level, but neglect the industry capacity. In this contribution, the Johansen-Färe measure of plant capacity...

The study of long-run equilibrium processes is a significant component of economic and finance theory. The Johansen technique for identifying the existence of such long-run stationary equilibrium conditions among financial time series allows the identification of all potential linearly independent cointegrating vectors within a given system of eligible financial time series. The practical appli...
