Sound irrigation and nitrogen management strategies are necessary to achieve sustainable yield water use efficiency of winter wheat in the North China Plain (NCP). The coupled effects scheduling application mode (NAM) on growth, under drip were evaluated with a two-year field experiment, which consisted three levels (ISLs) (irrigating when soil consumption (SWC) reached 20, 35 50 mm, referred a...

Two isoforms of the CCAAT-displacement protein/cut homeobox (CDP/Cux) transcription factor have been characterized thus far. The full length protein, p200, which contains four DNA binding domains, transiently binds to DNA and carries the CCAAT-displacement activity. The p110 isoform is generated by proteolytic processing at the G1-S transition and is capable of stable interaction with DNA. Here...

We show that the treatment effect estimated by standard methods such as regression discontinuity analysis or difference-in-differences may contain a transient “learning effect” is entangled with long-term of treatment. This learning occurs when variable interest agents’ efforts, and control correspond to success failure: failure gives agents information about how much their effort matters, cons...

We analyze the long-term workforce composition when quality of mentoring available to majority and minority juniors depends on their representation in workforce. A with at least 50 percent workers invariably converges one where is overrepresented relative population. To maximize welfare, persistent interventions, such as group-specific fellowships, are often needed, optimal may include lower in...

the hypothesis which more educated women experience less fertility has motivated many researches. current study is also carried out in the same direction of those investigations. the theoretical model is designed based on microeconomics of fertility that show since the substitution effect of rising female schooling surpasses the income effect, the presence of negative relation between the level...

This paper examines whether the average level of human capital in a region affects the earnings of an individual residing in that region in a manner that is external to the individual’s own human capital. I find little evidence of an external effect of human capital, which suggests that human capital spillovers of the form postulated by the new growth literature are unlikely to matter much in p...

OBJECTIVES We aimed to estimate the annual socioeconomic burden of coronary heart disease (CHD) in Korea in 2005, using the National Health Insurance (NHI) claims data. METHODS A prevalence-based, top-down, cost-of-treatment method was used to assess the direct and indirect costs of CHD (International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision codes of I20-I25), angina pectoris (I20), and myoc...

EXAFS studies on dilute samples are usually carried out by collecting the fluorescence yield using a large-area multi-element detector. This method is susceptible to the 'glitches' produced by all single-crystal monochromators. Glitches are sharp dips or spikes in the diffracted intensity at specific crystal orientations. If incorrectly compensated, they degrade the spectroscopic data. Normaliz...
