Spinal cord hemisection at C2 (C2HS) severs bulbospinal inputs to ipsilateral phrenic motoneurons causing transient hemidiaphragm paralysis. The spontaneous crossed-phrenic phenomenon (sCPP) describes the spontaneous recovery of ipsilateral phrenic bursting following C2HS. We reasoned that the immediate (next breath) changes in tidal volume (V(T)) induced by ipsilateral phrenicotomy during spon...

Use of efficiency measures as a proxy for performance to test the market structureconduct-performance (SCP) hypothesis is explored. Utilizing Battese and Coelli specification, we estimate stochastic frontier production function and SCP equations with output and efficiency measures as endogenous variables. An empirical application to U.S. trucking carries over the period 1994-2003 with emphasis ...

www.fews.net Traditionally, FEWS NET has focused on household access to markets and, as a consequence, regular price analysis and reporting has emphasized describing current price conditions – how affordable is food. But it is recognized that deeper market analysis can make a significant contribution to food security and early warning analysis. Placing the analysis in the broader market syste...

Banyuasin is a regency with the largest rice field area in South Sumatra. Yet, there are several problems marketing rice, namely low price received by farmers, fluctuations, and lack of market information. This research aimed to analyze efficiency Regency. Sampling method this used snowball sampling. Data analysis structure, conduct, Performance (SCP) approach. The results showed that were five...

Many genes critical to vertebrate skeletal mineralization are members of the secretory calcium-binding phosphoprotein (SCPP) gene family, which has evolved by gene duplication from a single ancestral gene. In humans, mutations in some of these SCPP genes have been associated with various diseases related to dentin or enamel hypoplasia. Recently, systematic searches for SCPP genes of various spe...
