This paper examines the quantitative performance of the standard search and matching model in explaining the cyclical behaviour of Taiwan's labour market. Although the model accounts well for the data in some dimensions, simulated volatility is counterfactually very low, as pointed out in Shimer (2005) for the US labou... |
We describe a cyclopolymerization approach to novel cyclic materials incorporating a) etch-stable adamantyl esters and b) t-butyl esters as functionalities suitable for chemical amplification. The synthesis of the monomers follows a highly convergent approach from the readily synthesized 1- adamantyl malonate ester. Tw... |
Using microscopic immunodiffusion assays and microdensitometric analysis of pericellular immunoprecipitate, the percentage of nucleated erythrocytes containing fetal hemoglobin (FNRBC) and the mean picograms of fetal or adult hemoglobin per nucleated erythrocyte (picograms HbF/NRBC, picograms HbA/NRBC) were assayed in ... |
Most human activities depend on electrical systems. Thereby, energy that flows toward the electrical systems has to be conducted through transmission lines. However, conventional lines are limited by their natural power capacity. Thus, this paper proposes a mathematical model to be used with evolutionary computing in o... |

Muskmelons and cantaloupes are climacteric fruits that lose the green color of their fruit rinds upon ripening. Their yellow or orange appearance is easily recognized by consumers as a sign of ripeness. However, these melons have a short shelf life, as this loss of chlorophyll is associated with ethylene synthesis. Obs... |
BACKGROUND |
Repeated use of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitors, especially fenoxaprop and clodinafop, since the late 1980s has selected for resistance in Alopecurus myosuroides Huds. (black-grass) in France. We investigated whether resistance to pinoxaden, a phenylpyrazoline ACCase inhibitor to be marketed in France, was p... |
RESULTS |
ACCase mutant isoforms Leu-1781, Gly-2078 and, likely, Cys-2027 conferred cross-resistance to pinoxaden, while isoform Asn-2041 possibly conferred moderate resistance. Other mechanisms of resistance to fenoxaprop, clodinafop and pinoxaden were detected in 99, 68 and 64% of the samples investigated, respectively. Cross-... |
CONCLUSION |
Pinoxaden resistance was observed before pinoxaden release in France. Only a fraction of the mechanisms endowing fenoxaprop or clodinafop resistance also confer pinoxaden resistance. Pinoxaden resistance was likely mostly selected for by ACCase inhibitors, and, in some cases, possibly by herbicides with other modes of ... |
This study investigates the effect of local task difficulty on children's tendency to combine pieces of information into larger wholes. The particular hypothesis is that the emergence of higher-order Gestalts is guided neither by innate capabilities nor by laborious thought processes. Instead, it is - at least partly -... |
Introduction Uptake of UK bowel screening programmes has been lower than anticipated.
