23 The analyses reported in Table 1 indicate that the fragment I used by us had 7 or 8, rather than 6 disulfide bonds, leading to an even lower probability for return to the native structure by random reoxidation. 24 Anfinsen, C.

Background and objectives: To evaluate success rate, acceptance and complications of sciatic nerve (SN) block at the popliteal fossa (popliteal block, PB) for ambulatory or inpatient orthopedic and vascular surgical procedures. Methods: A retrospective study was carried out in 312 patients who received a PB for vascular and orthopedic lower leg surgery. A single injection, posterior approach te...

This paper reviews the major lessons learnt during two significant pilot projects by Bosch Research during the DEPLOY project. Principally, the use of a single formalism, even when it comes together with a rigorous refinement methodology like Event-B, cannot offer a complete solution. Unfortunately (but not unexpectedly), we cannot offer a panacea to cover every phase from requirements to code;...

When workers can bargain over wages and employment, standard insider–outsider models predict underemployment if the number of insiders is small and overemployment if the number of insiders is large. For instance, a union will restrict employment growth in an expanding firm and oppose layoffs in a contracting firm. This paper shows that employee stock ownership can solve both problems and that t...

The purpose of Business Process Management (BPM) is to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of organizational processes through improvement and innovation. Despite a common understanding that culture is an important element in BPM efforts, there is a dearth of theoretical and empirical research on culture as a facilitator of successful BPM. We develop the BPM culture construct and propose ...

Daily city-level expenditures and prices are used to estimate the price responsiveness of gasoline demand in the U.S. Using a frequency of purchase model that explicitly acknowledges the distinction between gasoline demand and gasoline expenditures, we consistently find the price elasticity of demand to be an order of magnitude larger than estimates from recent studies using more aggregated dat...
