We analyze the dynamic e¤ects of lumpy factor adjustments at the …rm level onto the aggregate economy. We …nd that distinguishing between capital and labour as lumpy factors within the production function result in very di¤erent dynamics for aggregate output, investment and labour in an otherwise standard real business cycle model. Lumpy capital leaves the RBC mainly unchanged, while lumpy labo...

Regression-based frameworks for streamflow regionalization are built around catchment attributes that traditionally originate from hydrology, flood frequency analysis and their interplay. In this work, we deviated traditional path by formulating extensively investigating the first regression-based largely emerge general-purpose time series features data science and, more precisely, a large vari...

Breast tissue undergoes constant physiological changes in a woman’s life because of influence endocrine hormones during and after reproductive life. These may present as pain, lumpiness or both the breast. lumps are feared for cancer. Thus, it is important women with breast lump to receive appropriate evaluation. Clinical examination first step evaluation lump. The diagnostic sensitivity clinic...

From the earliest days of commercial power production, transmission has grown steadily in importance. New wholesale power markets have sparked interest in distributed generation, but trade between these markets has only increased the need for transmission investment. As with generation, a market for the use of existing assets is not difficult to imagine, but a market to supply these assets is m...

Microeconomic lumpiness matters for macroeconomics. According to our DSGE model, it explains roughly 60% of the smoothing in the investment response to aggregate shocks. The remaining 40% is explained by general equilibrium forces. The central role played by micro frictions for aggregate dynamics results in important history dependence in business cycles. In particular, booms feed into themselv...

Close-distance coal seams are widely distributed in China, and the mining of overlying leads to floor damage. To grasp properties fracture spans damaged main roof underlying seam, combining calculation damage depth with rock theory formulas for calculating first periodic weighting intervals instability conditions key blocks obtained. Three interaction stability mechanics models proposed differe...

BACKGROUND Dermal augmentation continues to grow as an aesthetic facial procedure. Many exogenous filler materials rely on an autologous fibrotic response for volume augmentation. AIMS To evaluate the efficacy of a single injection of autologous platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) for the correction of deep nasolabial folds (NLFs). PATIENTS/METHODS Whole blood was obtained from 15 adults, an...

BACKGROUND Oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery (OBCS) requires more complex surgical techniques than standard wide local excision (WLE) and the postoperative complication rate may be higher. Since these can have an impact on postoperative imaging, we compared imaging and biopsy results after OBCS and WLE. METHODS Findings for patients undergoing OBCS (n = 83) or standard WLE (n = 128) were ...

ArteFill, the successor product to Artecoll, is an injectable wrinkle filler composed of polymethylmethacrylate microspheres and bovine collagen, which offers long-lasting and probably permanent augmentation of wrinkles and skin contour deformities. The pivotal U.S. Food and Drug Administration study consisted of 251 subjects at eight centers in the United States who received injections of Arte...

The model described in this paper combines a set of discrete investment and policy choices to explain a continuing process of resort-level change in response to competition through globalization. It shows how the stages of growth, as defined by Butler’s resort lifecycle model, are the result of a combination of elements, the public policy and investor mindset, the scale of investment and transn...
