This paper examines a tractable real business cycle model with idiosyncratic productivity shocks and binding credit constraints on entrepreneurs. The model shows how firm volatility increases in combination with credit market development. It further generates the observed comovement of credit and firm volatility with output at business cycle frequencies in response to aggregate productivity sho...

We present the study of the solar wind interaction with the super-Alfvénic magnetized interstellar medium in the controversial case when fast magnetosonic shocks are nonevolutionary, while admissible switch-on shocks cannot exist due to geometrical reasons. The flow behaviour and the accompanying shock configuration are investigated both in the twodimensional axisymmetric and 2.5-dimensional, t...

DAVIS, J. W., R. K. THOMAS, JR. AND H. E. ADAMs. Interactions of scopolamine and physostigmine with ECS and one trial learning. PHYSIOL. BEHAV. 6 (3) 219-222, 1971.-Twelve groups of 10 rats were trained on a one-trial, passive avoidance task and were tested for retention four hr later. Six groups received electroconvulsive shock (ECS) immediately following the learning trial, and the remaining ...

Electroconvulsive shock [ECS] or puromycin administered prior to training did not significantly impair acquisition of shock-avoidance in goldfish. Significant retention deficits are observed on retraining 72 hr later in groups of fish that received ECS 2.5, 1 or 0.5 hr before training as well as in groups that received ECS 0, 4 or 24 hr after training. Puromycin produces significant retention d...

Magnetic seizure therapy (MST) is under development as a means of improving the cognitive side-effect profile of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) by inducing more spatially delimited seizures that spare cortical regions involved in memory. We tested whether MST had a cognitive side-effect profile distinct from electroconvulsive shock (ECS) in a non-human primate model, using the Columbia Univers...

Little work is available on the acute and time-dependant dopaminergic effects of single electroconvulsive shock (ECS) and multiple ECS despite the posited clinical utility of such schedules of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) administration and the posited role of dopaminergic mechanisms in iieuropsychiatric disorders. In this study, using the apomorphine-induced motility-alteration behavioural ...

Introduction Patients with systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) often develop neuropsychiatric disease. Central nervous system (CNS) manifestations of SLE occur in about half of all patients, and psychiatric presentations are seen with a prevalence of 35% to 60% in this group. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) also known as electroshock therapy is a psychiatric treatment in which electricity/electri...

Lorazepam is commonly prescribed to treat insomnia in depressed patients who receive electroconvulsive therapy (ECT); however, lorazepam may interfere with ECT seizure parameters, and may thereby compromise the efficacy of the treatment. This study therefore sought to assess whether zopicione, a hypnotic agent, interferes less with the ECT seizure. For ethical reasons, the study utilized an ani...
