In this paper a macroscopic phenomenological model for the T cell mediated immune response due to a single type of antigen challenge is developed in the framework of the thermodynamic theory of fluid mixtures. Proliferation events accounting for the generation of T cell clones are considered, determining a non conservative balance for mass and momentum densities for the mixture as a whole in a ...

To fully quantify the impact of the homecare and hospice industry within the various geographical areas throughout this study, Tripp Umbach established a comprehensive, yet conservative, methodology to estimate the operational impact based on information compiled using uniform and consistent techniques that could be replicated in the future. Using IMPLAN (IMpact analysis for PLANning) data and ...

In the design of a randomized clinical trial with one pre and multiple post randomized assessments of the outcome variable, one needs to account for the repeated measures in determining the appropriate sample size. Unfortunately, one seldom has a good estimate of the variance of the outcome measure, let alone the correlations among the measurements over time. We show how sample sizes can be cal...

Did fair value accounting play a role in the current financial crisis? This appendix explores the issue. Fair value accounting implies that assets and liabilities get measured and reflected on a firm`s financial statements at their market value, or close substitutes. Extensive academic research done over the past 20 years shows that financial statements that reflect the market values of assets ...

the current study aims to review the cross sectional variation in cash flow asymmetric timeliness and its effect on conditional conservatism. in this study, data from 120 firms in tehran stock exchange for the period spanning 1384- 1390 were examined. the regression model used in this research is panel data method with fixed effects approach. the most common measure of conditional conservatism ...

Clavicle fractures are among the most common skeletal injuries accounting for 2-5% of all adult fractures. Historically, nonoperative treatment of midshaft clavicular fractures was considered the gold standard of care. Furthermore, nonoperative treatment has been challenged by an increasing popularity and rate of surgical fixations in recent years despite a lack of clear evidence in the current...

Cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumours are the most common neoplasms in the posterior fossa, accounting for 5-10% of intracranial tumours. Most CPA tumours are benign, with most being vestibular schwannomas. Meningiomas arising from the jugular foramen are among the rarest of all with very few being described in the literature. Treatment options vary considerably as experience with these tumours ...
