This paper provides a dynamic optimization model of durable good inventories to study the interactions between investment demand and production of capital goods. There are three major findings: First, capital suppliers’ inventory behavior makes investment demand more volatile in equilibrium; Second, equilibrium price of capital is characterized by downward stickiness; Third, the responses of th...

Using a new dataset on imports of technology and total factor productivity (TFP) over more than a century for the OECD countries, this paper tests for international technological transmission through trade. The empirical estimates suggest that imports of knowledge have been responsible for an almost 200% increase in TFP over the past century, but that the spillover effect has been highly uneven...

The adopted Eviews program data processing and Random effect regression model was chosen test relationship between internal external indicators as independent variables include Return On Asset (ROA), Debt Equity Ratio (DER), Total Turnover (TATO), Oi...

Motor Disorder Perinatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI) brain damage is an important risk factor for disabilities in children. Brain damage from HI often causes a wide range of motor impairments such as those found in cerebral palsy and dystonia. It is also known that deficiency in brain tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) causes dystonia at birth. In a normal fetal rabbit model we have found that BH4 concentrati...

Sequential thymidine radiograms from rats injected on day El5 and killed thereafter at daily intervals up to day E22 were analyzed t o trace the migratory routes and settling patterns of neurons of the lateral reticular nucleus and the external cuneate nucleus. The neurons of the lateral reticular and external cuneate nuclei originate in the primary precerebellar neuroepithelium at the same sit...

Abs t rae t -Neurogenes i s in the rat olfactory tubercle and islands of Calleja was examined with [3H]thymidine autoradiography. Animals in the prenatal groups were the offspring of pregnant females given an injection of [3H]thymidine on two consecutive gestational days. Ten groups of embryos (E) were exposed to [3H]thymidine on E I2 -E I3 , E13-EI4 . . . . E21-E22, respectively. Three groups ...

We here present the nucleation and growth of calcium carbonate under the influence of synthetic peptides on topographically patterned poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) substrates, which have a controlled density of defects between the wrinkles. Experiments with two lysine-rich peptides derived from the extracellular conserved domain E22 of the mollusc chitin synthase Ar-CS1, AKKKKKAS (AS8) and EEKK...

BACKGROUND A predictor of neonatal mortality in infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is disrupted pulmonary vascular development, clinically expressed as pulmonary hypertension. OBJECTIVE To determine if prenatal corticosteroids and phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors have a beneficial effect on pulmonary vascular development in CDH lungs. METHODS We induced CDH in fetal ra...

background: tamoxifen treatment induced cell death in the hippocampus formation of the prenatal and postnatal rat. the present study delineates the effect of tamoxifen on developing hippocampus in prenatal, postnatal and full term neonate rats received certain doses of the partial antagonist tamoxifen. methods: after perfusion and fixation, the brains were removed and processed for light and el...
