Transgenic mice expressing the c-Myc oncogene driven by the immunoglobulin heavy chain enhancer (Emu) develop B-cell lymphoma and exhibit a mean survival time of approximately 6 months. The protracted latent period before the onset of frank disease likely reflects the ability of c-Myc to induce a p53-dependent apoptotic program that initially protects animals against tumor formation but is disa...

Existing reports on sperm structure in the emu do not adequately illustrate or describe all the salient ultrastructural features necessary for a meaningful comparison of normal and abnormal sperm in this species. As sperm morphology forms an important parameter in determining semen quality, and in view of the proposed role of artificial insemination in the farming of ratites, this article re-ev...

Abstract I study the effects of entry to European Monetary Union (EMU) on relative purchasing power parity (PPP) convergence using monthly disaggregated price indices from 32 countries 1999 2016. examine Cyprus, Malta, Slovakia, and Slovenia EMU, estimate bands inaction prices before after a threshold autoregressive model. find positive effect EMU PPP convergence: entry, with members fell by 17...

Following their EU accession, the new member countries from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) must achieve sustainable price stability as one of the pre-conditions for joining the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and adopting the euro. This paper examines the distribution dynamics of inflation rates in ten EU members from CEE relative to the EMU accession benchmark inflation over the period 199...

The asymmetric level of integration within the European Union (EU) regarding membership in Monetary (EMU) has resulted inconsistent responses to crises such as Great Recession 2007–2009 and sovereign debt crisis 2010–2013. Furthermore, it led varying outcomes monetary fiscal policies implemented across EU countries. This paper aims investigate impact on economic development employment through i...

Epilepsy Resources and Updates Long-term video-EEG monitoring in the epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU), while generally a safe procedure (1, 2), can be associated with adverse events. The majority of EMUs have experienced falls, status epilepticus, and postictal psychosis during monitoring (3); although rare, fatalities and near-fatalities have also occurred in the EMU (2, 4). Even patients with p...

Iron carbide is among the oldest known materials. The utility of this ancient advanced material is greatly extended in its nanostructured forms. We demonstrate for the first time that one-dimensional iron carbide microfibres can be assembled in liquid using strong magnetic field-assisted laser ablation. The giant saturation magnetisation of these particles was measured a 261 emu/g at room tempe...
