Accepted 6 May 1997 Summary The British Geriatrics Society has described 16 training objectives for senior house officers (SHOs) in geriatric medicine. We have developed these into an audit standard, and in a controlled trial we consider the effectiveness of audit as a means of monitoring and improving SHO training. SHOs from three hospitals were sent a questionnaire asking about the adequacy o...

We propose a sigma model with target space E8 where the ten-dimensional spacetime plays the role of the worldsheet. This is motivated first by the E8 gauge theory in eleven dimensions which leads to a loop group description in ten dimensions, and second by a reduction a la’ Bershadsky-Johansen-Sadov-Vafa. We explore some consequences of this proposal such as possible Lagrangians and existence o...

the aim of this research is to analyse of empirical relationship of fiscal policy and iranian trade account in the years 1338-1385(1959-2006). in and econometrics model the methods of engle and granger (1987), johansen (1988), ardl, pessaran and shin(1998), philips and hansen(1990), have been used to find out the effects of variables such as government expenditures(the component of public deman...

This paper investigates the relationships between stock market indices and four macroeconomics variables, namely crude oil price (COP), money supply (M2), industrial production (IP) and inflation rate (IR) in China and India. The period covers in this study is between January 1999 to January 2009. Using the Augmented Dickey-Fuller unit root test, the underlying series are tested as non-stationa...

Methods During 2009, 167 MRSA-infected and 25766 MRSAuninfected control patients were included in a multistate model where occurrence of MRSA infection was the time-dependent exposure and discharge or death was the study endpoint. Infections were stratified by anatomical site. Excess LoS was extracted computing the Aalen-Johansen estimator of the matrix of transition probabilities. 95% confiden...

Recent studies in category learning have shown that there are shifts in category representation. In the present study, we develop three models categorization that consisted of different learning objectives to examine cognitive mechanism underlying the representational shifts. The results of simulation indicated that the representational shift observed in Johansen & Palmeri (2002) can be explain...

exchange rate has the fundamental role as one of the economy key variables in determining the domestic price. so it is important to know how is the empirical relationship between the exchange rate and domestic prices and the factors influencing this relationship. the main objective of this study is to determine the effect of vehichel imports share on the exchange rate pass – through on domestic...

the minimum wage determination is one of the most significant economic issues exerting effects on macroeconomic variables. this study provides an empirical model using var method to analyze the long run relationships and short run dynamisms of factors affect general price level (with emphasis on minimum wage) during the period of 1978-2010. to examine long run relationships we used johansen-jus...
