Allaz and Vila made the seminal contribution that forward contracts mitigate market power on the spot market. This result is widely quoted and elaborated in studies of restructured power markets, where generators can potentially exploit the special characteristics of this industry in order to extract higher prices. Allaz-Vila established their result under the assumption that the production cap...

Plasma or serum extrinsic pathway inhibitor (EPI) activity was measured in 24 patients with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and in 23 patients with severe hepatocellular disease. EPI was measured as activity in a test sample that inhibitied factor VIla/tissue factor (TF)catalyzed activation of 3H-factor IX (activation peptide release) in the presence of factor X. Of the 24 patients...

Mammalian cytochrome c oxidase (COX) is composed of three catalytic, on mitochondrial DNA encoded subunits, and ten nuclear encoded subunits, which have been ascribed a regulatory function (1). At least three nuclear encoded subunits occur in tissue-specific isoforms (Via, Vila and VIE). The liverand hearttype cDNA has been described for rat subunit Via (2) and bovine subunit Vm (3). The liver-...

Two problems can be identified which counteract the need for further training: On the one hand the clientele of skilled workers is not necessarily keen on further training. On the other hand the time and cost pressure within the sector does not offer any room for time-consuming further training measures far away from the workplace. This is why the project “Virtual Learning on the building site ...

Overexpression of tissue factor (TF) is characteristically observed in advanced pancreatic cancer and has been associated with invasion and metastasis. Functional responses of TF activation are here investigated using as a model system the human pancreatic cancer cell lines SW979 (which overexpresses TF) and MIAPaCa2 (which does not express detect able levels). After stimulation of these cell l...
