This paper examines the properties of Moran’s I test for spatial error autocorrelation when endogenous variables are included in the regression specification and estimation is carried out by means of instrumental variables procedures (such as two stage least squares). We formally derive the asymptotic distribution of the statistic in a general model that encompasses endogeneity due to system fe...

the partition coefficients (p-values) of certain new potential, stereoselective, reversible, long-acting local anesthetics have been determined in an n-octanol/ phosphate buffer system. these are derivatives of 2-phenoxyethyldialkylamine hydrochloride, and almost all of them are readily soluble in water. their aqueous solutions have shown different absorption maxima, and these have been used qu...

following our previous investigations on certain new aminoalkyl aryl ethers, which showed promising and outstanding local anaesthetic properties, the local anaesthetic activity and duration of action of a further selection of four novel derivatives of the above-mentioned series, used as hydrochloride salts, have been determined by the ill vivo rat sciatic nerve test. these are: n,n-dimethyl-2-(...

context lumbar central spinal stenosis is common and often results in chronic persistent pain and disability, which can lead to multiple interventions. after the failure of conservative treatment, either surgical or nonsurgical modalities such as epidural injections are contemplated in the management of lumbar spinal stenosis. evidence acquisition recent randomized trials, systematic reviews an...

facial expressions are the most powerful and direct means of presenting human emotions and feelings and offer a window into a persons’ state of mind. in recent years, the study of facial expression and recognition has gained prominence; as industry and services are keen on expanding on the potential advantages of facial recognition technology. as machine vision and artificial intelligence advan...

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and let $fa$, $fb$ be two ideals of $R$ such that $R/({fa+fb})$ is Artinian. Let $M$, $N$ be two finitely generated $R$-modules. We prove that $H_{fb}^j(H_{fa}^t(M,N))$ is Artinian for $j=0,1$, where $t=inf{iin{mathbb{N}_0}: H_{fa}^i(M,N)$ is not finitelygenerated $}$. Also, we prove that if $DimSupp(H_{fa}^i(M,N))leq 2$, then $H_{fb}^1(H_{fa}^i(M,N))$ i...

introduction: although patients do not experience sever pain after laparoscopic surgery, most of them experience acute or chronic pain afterward. while conventional pain killers including nsaid and narcotics in laparoscopic surgery have specific side effects, their application is inevitable. this study compares the efficacy of local anesthetic drugs and conventional pain killers in post-operati...
