Also, foreign investment and trade have rapidly increased worldwide and have enhanced economic growth in developing countries. Although foreign investment and trade bring huge economic benefits, many developing countries fear that by opening up markets to competition and forei...

An extension of potential theory in Rn is obtained by continuing the Euclidean distance function holomorphically to Cn. The resulting Newtonian potential is generated by an extended source distribution δ̃(z) in Cn whose restriction to Rn is the point source δ(x). This provides a possible model for extended particles in physics. In C, interpreted as complex spacetime, δ̃ acts as a propagator gener...

Wild-type a1b2g2 g-aminobutyric acid (GABA)A receptors and receptors containing a point-mutated subunit g2F77Y were expressed by transient transfection in human embryonic kidney 293 cells. Mutant receptors bound the benzodiazepine binding site ligand [H]flumazenil with similar, subnanomolar affinity as wild-type receptor. Displacement studies with diazepam showed that the affinity for this comp...
