Quinupristin-dalfopristin (Q-D) is a new water-soluble, semisynthetic antibiotic that is derived from natural streptogramins and that is combined in a 30:70 ratio. A number of studies have described the pharmacodynamic properties of this drug, but most have investigated only staphylococci or streptococci. We evaluated the relationship between Q-D, quinupristin (Q), and/or dalfopristin (D) susce...

Quadrature orthogonal frequency division multiple access (Q-OFDMA) systems have been recently proposed to reduce the peakto-average power ratio (PAPR) and complexity, and improve carrier frequency offset (CFO) robustness and frequency diversity for the conventional OFDMA systems. However, Q-OFDMA receiver obtains frequency diversity at the cost of noise enhancement, which results in Q-OFDMA sys...

The high-temperature susceptibility of the q-state Potts model behaves as Γ|T − Tc| as T → Tc+, while for T → Tc− one may define both longitudinal and transverse susceptibilities, with the same power law but different amplitudes ΓL and ΓT . We extend a previous analytic calculation of the universal ratio Γ/ΓL in two dimensions to the low-temperature ratio ΓT /ΓL, and test both predictions with ...

This study evaluated the relationship between market-to-book ratio and Tobin’s Q and accounting conservatism. An important factor in adopting conservative approaches is the increased competitive pressures. Nevertheless, conservative approach reduces expectations of future performance of the businesses. This study used the data from companies listed in TSE during 2008 to 2013. Basu’s model was u...

initially a constant-rate infuSion at the rate of Q 1 is given over T hours (0.25 to 3 hr); then the rate is abruptly changed to a lower rate Q 2' which is maintained as long as steady state is desired. A simple relationship is given that shows what the ratio of Q/Q2 must be to attain steady state most rapidly and to minimize the ratio cM1x /C"?, where c1x is the maximum plasma concentration at...

This paper aims to explain the long-run determinants of euro area FDI to the United States during the period 1980-2001. The theoretical model developed in this paper incorporates the traditional FDI model based on the OLI-framework into the Tobin’s Q-model of investment. The model is estimated using the fixed effects panel estimator, with the euro area proxied by a panel involving most of the e...

BACKGROUND The literature on ventilation (V) and lung perfusion (Q) distributions during general anesthesia and controlled mechanical ventilation in supine and prone position is contradictory. The authors aimed to investigate whether V, Q, and ventilation to perfusion ratio (V/Q ratio) matching in anesthetized and mechanically ventilated volunteers are gravity dependent irrespective of posture....

We use local quark-hadron duality to estimate the purely nonperturbative soft contribution to the γ * p → ∆ form factors. Our results are in agreement with existing experimental data. We predict that the ratio G * E (Q 2)/G * M (Q 2) is small for all accessible Q 2 , in contrast to the pQCD expectations that G * E (Q 2) → −G * M (Q 2).
