In this paper we present a model of endogenous trade-policy formation which captures crucial aspects of the Japanese commercial and political culture. We analyze the influence of the portrayed cultural traits and show that cultural idiosyncrasies are important determinants of trade policy formation; especially the complex interaction of the two types of cultures is shown to have significant con...

Schistosomiasis is a helminthic infection that is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions. Pulmonary involvement can be divided into two categories: acute or chronic compromise. Chronic and recurrent infection develops in persons living or travelling in endemic areas. In the lungs, granuloma formation and fibrosis around the schistosome eggs retained in the pulmonary vasculature may result ...

Autoregressive moving average (ARMA) models are a fundamental tool in time series analysis that offer intuitive modeling capability and efficient predictors. Unfortunately, the lack of globally optimal parameter estimation strategies for these models remains a problem: application studies often adopt the simpler autoregressive model that can be easily estimated by maximizing (a posteriori) like...

Koi herpesvirus (KHV) has a diameter of 170– 230 nm and possesses a double-stranded DNA genome (Pokorova, Vesely, Piackova, Reschova & Hulova 2005). KHV was first discovered in the USA in 1998, followed by outbreaks in koi, Cyprinus carpio koi and common carp, C. carpio carpio, in Israel and the USA (Hedrick, Gilad, Yun & Spangenberg 2000).

Article, “Pulmonary Vascular Disease in the Developing World” To the Editor: We read with great interest the article by Butrous et al1, in which the authors presented a comprehensive review of pulmonary vascular disease in the developing world. Relative to pulmonary hypertension in schistosomiasis, however, it is important to further comment on some information presented by the authors. The aut...
