I analyze an extension of the New Keynesian model that features overlapping generations finitely lived agents and (stochastic) transitions to inactivity. In contrast with standard model, proposed framework allows for existence rational expectations equilibria asset price bubbles. study conditions under which bubble-driven fluctuations may emerge type monetary policy rules prevent them. conclude...

18 An outbreak of human botulism was due to consumption of ham containing botulinum 19 neurotoxins B and E. Clostridium botulinum type E strain isolated from ham was assigned to 20 a new subtype (E12) based on bont/E gene sequencing and belongs to a new multi locus 21 sequence subtype as analyzed by whole genome sequencing. 22

The following are highlights from the series, Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions Topic Review. This series summarizes the most important manuscripts, as selected by the editors, which have published in the Circulation portfolio. The studies included in this article represent the most noteworthy research in the areas of transcatheter aortic valve replacement and transcatheter aortic-valve...

The E2A-encoded transcription factors E12 and E47 are key regulators of B cell functions. They bind to the E-box site, found in regulatory regions of B cell-specific genes; promote cell survival of early pre-B cells; help to initiate Ig rearrangements; and are also involved in class switch in mature B cells in the periphery. We have investigated the expression and function of E47 and E12 in IL-...

The chick's relationship to its environment changes dramatically over 21 days of embryonic development. At early ages embryos are buoyant; their posture and movements are relatively unconstrained. As embryos grow and fluid level in ovo decreases, movements are increasingly constrained by gravitational forces and reactive forces due to body contact with the shell wall. The issue of how age-relat...

The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor, Hand1, plays an important role in the development of the murine extra-embryonic trophoblast cell lineage. In the present study, we have analysed the expression of Hand1 in human extra-embryonic cell types and determined its binding specificity and transcriptional activity upon interaction with different class A bHLH factors. Northern blott...

The hypothesis that BMPs (bone morphogenetic proteins), which act early in gut morphogenesis, also regulate specification and differentiation in the developing enteric nervous system (ENS) was tested. Expression of BMP-2 and BMP-4, BMPR-IA (BMP receptor subunit), BMPR-IB, and BMPR-II, and the BMP antagonists, noggin, gremlin, chordin, and follistatin was found when neurons first appear in the p...

In order to determine whether the developing central gustatory system responds to dietary manipulation during restricted developmental periods, terminal fields of the chorda tympani nerve within the nucleus of the solitary tract were investigated via anterograde transport of horseradish peroxidase in control rats and in rats in which a low sodium diet was systematically fed during specific peri...
