Alternate modes of prosperity

Positive pressure ventilation. Alternate modes.

Alternate modes of financing health care technology.

† This Keynote Lecture was delivered on 29 November 2000 during the Opening Ceremony of the 11 Congress of the Western Pacific Association of Critical Care Medicine. Alternative financing of health care delivery is one of the most vexing problems facing medicine today. Intensive care in many ways is a perfect example of the core problems facing policymakers responsible for financing health care...

Peptide identification by tandem mass spectrometry with alternate fragmentation modes.

The high-throughput nature of proteomics mass spectrometry is enabled by a productive combination of data acquisition protocols and the computational tools used to interpret the resulting spectra. One of the key components in mainstream protocols is the generation of tandem mass (MS/MS) spectra by peptide fragmentation using collision induced dissociation, the approach currently used in the lar...

Dynamics of Inclusive Prosperity

Patience and prosperity

This paper introduces wealth-dependent time preference into a simple model of endogenous growth. The model generates adjustment dynamics in line with the historical facts on savings and economic growth in Europe from the High Middle Ages to today.
