T his special issue of the Economic Quarterly is dedicated to the 1983 model of bank runs developed by Douglas Diamond and Philip Dybvig.1 Their model has been a workhorse of banking research over the last 25 years and during the recent financial crisis it has been one that researchers and policymakers consistently turn to when interpreting financial market phenomena. The Diamond-Dybvig model h...

electrocardiogram (ecg) is one of the most common biological signals which plays a significant role in diagnosis of heart diseases. one of the most important parts of ecg signal processing is interpretation of qrs complex and obtaining its characteristics. r wave is one of the most important sections of this complex which has an essential role in diagnosis of heart rhythm irregularities and als...

Tuberculosis of the tonsils is by no means a common condition, Mullin (1923), for example, in analysing 400 tonsillectomies found only 4.25 per cent cases of tuberculous tonsils. The present study is based on 2,477 tonsillectomies in the Madras General Hospital. This series covers a period of five years from January 1928 to December 1932. We, however, feel that this investigation is incomplete ...

in the present work, we have examined the ability of some different equations of state in predicting the joule-thomson coefficient, ?j-t, of different fluids. for dense fluids, for which density is greater than the boyle density, ?b, two appropriate equations of state, namely the linear isotherm regularity, lir, and the dense system equation of state, dseos, have been examined. the results show...

The high data availability and the increasing number of GIS users have motivated the emergence of distributed algorithms to process spatial operations efficiently. They are based on distributed indexes for an high performance processing. Researches and ongoing work use R-trees as a distributed spatial structure for indexing and retrieval of geo objects. However, these indexes have shown a chall...

Heparin is an injectable anticoagulant that prevents coagulation. There are presently high and low molecular heparins as well as synthetic pentasaccharide inhibitors. Given its ubiquitous use in sensitive medical states, there is a high concern for safety with this drug. Heparin can induce several distinct immune-mediated reactions. There are several options to consider when heparin allergy occ...

Late-preterm newborns accounted for 8.7% of all US births in 2009, while in Italy, according to Euro-Peristat Report 2010, rate of preterm live births between 32 and 36 weeks accounts for 6.4%: therefore late-preterm incidence is around 5% [1]. In the literature is reported that late preterm infants are at increased risk of neonatal mortality and morbidity, including feeding problems, hyperbili...
