We analyze the relationship between Antidumping (AD) Protection and the productivity of EU domestic firms in import-competing industries. For this purpose we identify a panel of domestic firms between 1993 and 2003 that at some point during this period are affected by AD initiations. Using a difference-in-difference approach, we find that AD measures result in improvements of measured productiv...

We describe a sensitive, accurate automated method for the simultaneous measurement of methemoglobin and total hemoglobin in blood. The method can be used for either continuous in vivo monitoring or intermittent sampling at a rate of 20/h. Standardization procedures are described, in which human blood treated with sodium nitrite is used. Repeatability of methemoglobin and total hemoglobin measu...

UNLABELLED Antibiotic prescription habits, cost pattern, and the prospective intervention in an Intensive Care Unit were analyzed. METHODS Data on antibiotic utilization and costs were collected prospectively from individual electronic charts from August 2003 to January 2004, and retrospectively from August to December 2002. RESULTS A total of 180 and 107 patients were surveyed in 2002 and ...

This study was carried out to determine seasonal variation and zooplankton community structure in Karataş Lake, Southern Turkey. Zooplankton samples were collected seasonally between 2002 and 2003 in two stations using a zooplankton net of 55-µm mesh size. A total of 42 taxa were identified, including 19 taxa (45.2 %) Rotifera, 16 taxa (38.1 %) Cladocera, and 7 taxa (16.7 %). Copepoda. Among th...

‎Let $G=(V(G),E(G))$ be a graph‎, ‎$gamma_t(G)$. Let $ooir(G)$ be the total domination and OO-irredundance number of $G$‎, ‎respectively‎. ‎A total dominating set $S$ of $G$ is called a $textit{total perfect code}$ if every vertex in $V(G)$ is adjacent to exactly one vertex of $S$‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we show that if $G$ has a total perfect code‎, ‎then $gamma_t(G)=ooir(G)$‎. ‎As a consequence, ...

  This study was done to investigate of some hematological and biochemical factors of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss ) fry in west of Mazandaran in Iran. About 50 pools of blood samples from diseased fry were collected within 30 months from November 2002 till March 2005 from three hatchery farms in western part of Mazanderan province. In addition 30 pools of blood samples as control group w...
