A dynamic discrete time model is estimated in order to analyze the evolution of perceived risk around a hazardous waste site and its effect on property values. Residential property values are modeled as a function of housing attributes and perceived risk to health from a nearby hazardous waste site using an hedonic price framework. Perceived risk enters the model as a state equation, which incl...

We have studied the relationship between the occurrence of chromatin diminution and the developmental behavior of somatic blastomeres in early development of the nematode Parascaris univalens. A cytological and immunocytochemical analysis of chromatin diminution was performed in P. univalens embryos exposed to 'vegetalizing' (LiCl) and 'animalizing' (NaSCN) substances during early developmental...

JPEG images are self-synchronized in cases of an error; however, after the synchronization the images are not shown as the original ones. Sometimes, the blocks are shifted to right or left and the tinge is damaged as well. This paper suggests a way how to remedy the block shift and the tinge

This Addendum provides a revised set of figures containing converged numerical data for total scattering cross section (TSCS), replacing the figures in our recent publication [Opt. Lett. 29, 1393 (2004)]. Due to the use of an overly large time step, our original TSCS data exhibited a systematic, nonphysical diminution above 150 THz for all cases studied. We have determined that numerical conver...
