This review essay examines whether too-big-to-fail is as serious a problem as Gary Stern and Ron Feldman contend. This essay argues that Stern and Feldman overstate the importance of the too-bigto-fail problem and do not give enough credit to the FDICIA legislation of 1991 for improving bank regulation and supervision. However, this criticism of the Stern and Feldman book does not detract from ...

In order to test photoelectric recording of dye curves, simultaneous determinations of cardiac output were made in 48 patients with heart disease with the Fick and dye-dilution technics. The dye curves were recorded with a Colson densitometer following either intrathoracic or antecubital injection of dye. Both Evans blue and indoeyanine green dyes were employed. Satisfactory agreement was noted...

The recently modified fluorescence inhibition test for antibodies to toxoplasmosis is safe and relatively simple to perform. It appears to detect antibodies early in the course of acute systemic infection but is less sensitive than either the dye test or hemagglutination test in detecting chronic infection. Although hemagglutinating antibodies develop later than dye test antibodies in the cours...

Rothko Chapel is Morton Feldman's most distinctive piece. The processes of musical development in this work also deviate from traditional Feldman. Contrary to the emphasis on uniqueness that several scholars have explored. Firstly, paper provides a detailed account Feldman’s oeuvre and its analytical difficulties, followed by an overview existing approaches analysis Chapel. And finally, selecte...

We examined the efficiency of detection of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies to a 35-kDa antigen (P35) of Toxoplasma gondii for serodiagnosis of acute infection in pregnant women. A double-sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with recombinant P35 antigen (P35-IgM-ELISA) was used for this purpose. On the basis of the clinical history and the combination of results from the toxoplas...
