This paper uses a risk-shifting model to analyze policy responses asset price booms. We show risk shifting leads inefficient and credit booms in which prices can exceed fundamentals. However, the inefficiencies associated with arise independently of whether is bubble. Given evidence shifting, policymakers may not need determine if assets are bubbles justify intervention. then that some main can...

BACKGROUND Shifting dullness and fluid wave are two techniques commonly used to detect ascites. However, these may fail to detect moderate or minimal ascites. Ultrasonography is a good non-invasive method to detect ascites but may not be available in distant rural areas of India. We assessed the utility of the puddle sign and auscultatory percussion for detecting ascites. METHODS Sixty-six pa...

We study the nonlinearity (NL) in the conversion from charge to voltage in infrared detectors (HXRG) for use in precision astronomy. We present laboratory measurements of the NL function of a H2RG detector and discuss the accuracy to which it would need to be calibrated in future spacemissions to perform cosmologicalmeasurements through theweak gravitational lensing technique. In addition, we p...

Concurrence of duodenal atresia and gastric duplication cyst is extremely rare entity. We report a 6-day-old female neonate who presented with neonatal intestinal obstruction. X-ray abdomen showed double bubble sign. At laparotomy, a huge cystic structure attached to greater curvature of the stomach along with duodenal atresia of second part of duodenum was found. The cystic structure was excis...

We calculate the baryon asymmetry of the Universe which would arise during a first order electroweak phase transition due to minimal standard model processes. It agrees in sign and magnitude with the observed baryonic excess, for resonable KM parameters and mt in the expected range, and plausible values of bubble velocity and other high temperature effects. Research supported in part by NSF-PHY...

We study the Yamabe equation in Euclidean half-space. prove that any sign-changing solution has at least twice energy of a standard bubble. Moreover, sharper lower bound set is also established via method moving planes. This increases range for which Palais–Smale sequences related variational problem non-trivial weak limit.
