This paper provides an empirical exploration of the interaction between fiscal policy, monetary policy, exchange rates, and external balances as well as their impacts on real economic growth and inflation for the BRICS countries. A panel VAR model is employed to assess the dynamic relationships. Our results generally confirm the significant impacts of a monetary shock on real economic activity ...

objective(s) the objective of this study was to document and explain bilateral differences in the q angle. materials and methods two hundred limbs of healthy adult indian volunteers were studied. the q angle was measured using a goniometric method with the subjects supine, quadriceps relaxed and lower limbs in neutral rotation. the relative lateral placement of the tibial tuberosity with respec...

purpose: to identify the postoperative surgical outcomes and the changes in deviation in patients treated by bilateral medial rectus (bmr) recession for small to large angle esotropia with a minimum follow-up of two years methods: in this retrospective and consecutive case series, we reviewed medical records of 130 patients who had recession surgery for correction of esotropia between 2001-2011...

volar lunate dislocation is the fourth and last stage of perilunate dislocation. it is an uncommon injury of the wrist and its bilateral occurrence is so rare that only one case has been reported in the literature. we are presenting the second case of this kind of wrist injury, its treatment and outcome. keywords : lunate bone, perilunate, volar plate, bilateral, dislocation.

present paper is an attempt to estimate the impact of economic and geographic indicators in trade among islamic countries according to a bilateral trade model as gravity model, and study the relationship between economy, geography and trade in this way. fixed effect version of the panel data estimation producer with oic member country data spanning over the 2007–2012. the result of this researc...

This paper models interaction between groups of agents by means of a graph where each node represents a group of agents and an arc represents bilateral interaction. It departs from the standard KatzShapiro framework by assuming that network benefits are restricted only amongst groups of linked agents. It shows that even if rival firms engage in Bertrand competition, this form of network externa...

It has long been known that stimulation of the medial medulla in the decerebrate animal produces bilateral inhibition of muscle tone. In the present study we have found that transection of the brainstem at the ponto-medullary junction attenuates this inhibition. An interaction between medullary and rostal brainstem systems is responsible for the medullary inhibition phenomenon. A similar intera...

Wiest, Michael C., Nick Bentley, and Miguel A. L. Nicolelis. Heterogeneous integration of bilateral whisker signals by neurons in primary somatosensory cortex of awake rats. J Neurophysiol 93: 2966–2973, 2005. First published November 24, 2004; doi:10.1152/ jn.00556.2004. Bilateral single-unit recordings in primary somatosensory cortex (S1) of anesthetized rats have revealed substantial cross t...

In this paper, the problem of control and stabilization of a bilateral tele-surgery roboticsystem in interaction with an active soft tissue is considered. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, theprevious works did not consider a realistic model for a moving soft tissue like heart tissue in beating heartsurgery. Here, a new model is proposed to indicate significant characteristics of a moving ...
