Then the first-order derivative of f(cj(Θ0; y)) with respect to cj(Θ0; y) is: − 1 n ∑n i=1 1 νj0 φ( cj(Θ0;y)−Wij(Θ0) νj0 ) < 0. Thus it ensures uniqueness of the root of f(cj(Θ0; y)) = 0 in the entire domain of cj(y). Note that, ĉj(Θ0; y) satisfied (S.1), hence f(ĉj(Θ0; y)) = 0. On the other hand, f(cj0(y)) → 0 (given the uniform law of large numbers). By the standard inverse function theorem, ...

One of the most common causes of chronic liver disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is strongly associated with obesity and dysregulated insulin action in the liver. However, there are no pharmacological agents currently established for the treatment of NAFLD. A flowering plant in the Asteraceae family, Cirsium japonicum (CJ), exhibits a variety of pharmacological and antioxidativ...

Understanding mechanisms of policy engagement and the participation different actors in urban climate governance is particularly important as cities follow emergency declarations with corresponding action, to ensure that inequalities are not exacerbated by action. Citizens’ juries a deliberative democracy tool allows demographically representative sample population learn about contested issue f...

The use of juries in civil cases is severely circumscribed in Australia, and only a small percentage of criminal cases are decided by juries.* 1 This percentage, while small, is significant. Only the most serious criminal cases are tried before a jury,2 and it is such cases that tend to generate the greatest amount of public interest. Consequently, “[ljegal ideology and popular commonsense imag...

This Comment examines Smith’s claim and argues that the Supreme...

The current dissertation research addressed 1) whether attorneys and judge...
