Liquidity as Social Expertise

This paper proposes a theory of liquidity dynamics. Illiquidity results from asymmetric information. Observing the historical track record teaches agents how to interpret public information and helps overcome information asymmetry. There can be an illiquidity trap: too much asymmetric information leads to the breakdown of trade, which interrupts learning and perpetuates illiquidity. Liquidity f...

Visual expertise as embodied practice

This study looks at the practice of thoracic radiology and follows a group of radiologists and radiophysicists in their efforts to find, discuss, and formulate issues or troubles ensuing the implementation of a new radiographic imaging technology. Based in the theoretical tradition of ethnomethodology it examines the local endogenous practices pertaining to the radiologists’ expertise in the in...

Strain-based genetic differences regulate the efficiency of systemic gene delivery as well as expression.

We have characterized the impact of strain-based genetic differences on the efficiency of the intravenous cationic liposome-DNA complex (CLDC)-based gene transfer and expression in mice. We also investigated what steps in the gene delivery and expression pathway appeared responsible for these strain-related differences and whether such differences could be compensated for either by agents that ...

A multi-product, multi-period model to select supplier for deteriorating products while considering uncertainty as well as backorder

Determining supplier and optimum order of the quantity is an issue of great importance in logistics management for many companies. In this regard, it is crucial to determine the best decisions for the order quantity as well as the most suitable supplier through considering existing limitations and uncertainties. To optimize a multi-product, multi-period model with select supplier for deteriorat...
