Worker Absenteeism in Search Equilibrium The paper presents a general equilibrium model of search unemployment that incorporates absence from work as a distinct labor force state.

We report failure analysis of sternal wires in two cases in which a perichronal fixation technique was used to close the sternotomy. Various characteristics of the retrieved wires were compared to those of unused wires of the same grade and same manufacturer and with surgical wire specifications. In both cases, wire fracture was un-branched and transgranular and proceeded by a high cycle fatigu...

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the osteogenic effect of Cervi cornu pantotrichum (CCP) on bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) which showed differentiation towards the osteoblastic phenotype. Cells were exposed to different culture medium (dexamethasone group, CCPE group and control group). The activities of osteoblastic markers such as alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone gla protein (B...
