Abstract Bertrand–Edgeworth competition has recently been analyzed under imperfect buyer mobility, as a game in which, once prices are chosen, static subgame (BS) is played where the buyers choose which seller to visit (see, e.g., Burdett et al. J Political Econ 109:1060–1085, 2001). Our paper considers symmetric duopoly two play two-stage BS of information after price setting. An “assessment e...

Delphinium caucasicum C.A. Mey. is illustrated from plants cultivated at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Its history, nomenclature and ecology are described instructions for its successful cultivation given.

We present two-dimensional temperature maps of three bright clusters of galaxies Abell 1060, AWM 7, and the Centaurus cluster, based on multi-pointing observations with the ASCA GIS. The temperatures are derived from hardness ratios by taking into account the XRT response. For the Centaurus cluster, we subtracted the central cool component using the previous ASCA and ROSAT results, and the meta...

In the present paper, polymerization of alkali activated metakaolin (MK) and its structural changing, using 2M NaOH, 8M 16M NaOH solutions were followed by means X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT), Raman Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XPS analysis revealed that changing concentration did not affect types formed bonds in material. ...

Dr. Fernando Campos Gomes Pinto – Rua Bartira 1060 / 61 05009-000 São Paulo SP Brasil. E-mail: [email protected] Dog bites are increasingly being recognized as posing a major public health problem. In the U.S., Weiss et al. reported a rate of 12.9 per 10,000 persons, for dog-bite related injuries resulting in a total of 333,687 visits to Emergency Departments. Children most commonly f...

The crystal structures of the ligand-binding domain (LBD) of the vitamin D receptor complexed to 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) and the 20-epi analogs, MC1288 and KH1060, show that the protein conformation is identical, conferring a general character to the observation first made for retinoic acid receptor (RAR) that, for a given LBD, the agonist conformation is unique, the ligands adapting to the bindin...
