Spillover of norepinephrine (NE) into plasma is used frequently as an index of NE release and therefore of sympathetic nerve activity. An important limitation of NE spillover is that it reflects not only release but also uptake processes that intervene before the transmitter reaches the circulation. To overcome this limitation, we developed a method for estimating NE release based on measuremen...

Zoonotic disease surveillance is typically initiated after an animal pathogen has caused disease in humans. Early detection of potentially high-risk pathogens within animal hosts may facilitate medical interventions to cope with an emerging disease. To effectively spillover to a novel host, a pathogen may undergo genetic changes resulting in varying transmission potential in the new host and po...

This article tests experimentally whether a high degree of collusion on advertisement expenditures facilitate tacit price collusion in duopoly markets. Two environments are tested, in which the size of the spillover between advertising expenditures is varied. The results show that the competitiveness of advertising and prices are significantly higher when the advertising spillover is higher tha...

This paper examines the effects of technology spillover from FDI based on panel data analysis of Chinese large-scale domestic manufacturing industries. We use the panel data of 27 Chinese manufacturing industries from 2001 to 2007. We estimate technology spillover effects by two steps. First, we estimate the total factor productivity of domestic firms’ and foreign firms’ by Cobb-Douglas Product...

The aim of the present study was to estimate spillover effects between the work and the family sphere in a sample of nurses (N = 2058). Hierarchical regression analyses investigated whether shift work schedules were associated with negative or positive spillover, both from family to work and vice versa, controlling for demographic factors, job demands and decision latitude. With daytime work as...

Recent advances in statistical methods enable the study of correlation among outcomes through joint modeling, thereby addressing spillover effects. By joint modeling, we refer to simultaneously analyzing two or more different response variables emanating from the same individual. Using the 2011 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey, we jointly address spillover effects between contraceptive ...

The spillover phenomenon, which essentially involves transfer of H from a metal catalyst to a graphitic receptor, has been considered promising for efficient hydrogen storage. An open question about the spillover mechanism is how a H atom binds to graphene instead of forming the thermodynamically preferred H(2). Using ab initio calculations, we show that the catalyst saturation provides a way t...
