The politics of performance evaluation: Independent evaluation at the International Monetary Fund

How has the Fund institutionalized independent evaluation as a means of assessing its performance? This paper process-traces the contentious creation of the Fund’s Independent Evaluation Office (IEO).

Properties of an early outward current in single cells of the mouse ventricle.

Single ventricular myocytes of adult mice were prepared by enzymatic dissociation for voltage clamp experiments with the one suction pipette dialysis method. After blocking the Na current by 10(-4) mol/l TTX early outward currents (IEO) with incomplete inactivation could be elicited by clamping from -50 mV to test potentials (VT) positive to -30 mV. Interfering Ca currents were very small (less...
