We propose a random effects panel data model with both spatially correlated error components and spatially lagged dependent variables. We focus on diagnostic testing procedures and derive Lagrange multiplier (LM) test statistics for a variety of hypotheses within this model. We first construct the joint LM test for both the individual random effects and the two spatial effects (spatial error co...

Stalking attack, defensive reactions, flight, cooperative interactions be­ tween members of a species in a fight, display of the "killer" instinct, and predation are but some of the overt agonistic behaviors recognized among various animal species, including man. Ethologists frequently distinguish be­ tween interspecific hunting behavior, predation, which generally is used by animals to satisfy...

OBJECTIVES Gentamicin is a potent aminoglycoside antibiotic. Ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity are the main side effects which restrict the use of gentamicin. Garlic with its intrinsic antioxidant activity may prove beneficial in prevention from ototoxicity. S-allylmercaptocysteine (SAMC), diallyl disulfide (DD), and S-allylcysteine (SAC) are three active compounds found in garlic. In this study, ...

As we approach the fiftieth anniversary of founding British Educational Research Association (BERA), Vivienne Baumfield's inaugural presidential address reflects on who are, how got here and where are going. On one level answer to these questions is straightforward. BERA a learned society established in 1974 support educational research by building capacity, advancing quality promoting engageme...

BACKGROUND The effects of radio frequency (RF) and microwave radiation on humans have been the subject of continuous investigation. Clinical investigations related to occupational RF/microwave exposure have been reported by investigators (1). Since one of the major groups occupationally exposed to RF and microwave radiation includes those working in radio broadcasting and TV transmitter station...
