Creating successful competitive electric power markets requires transmission pricing reform. Due to the physics of power transmission networks, efficient transmission prices must incorporate two types of loop flow externalities, and must be determined jointly with efficient power (nodal) prices. Prior proposed market schemes all involve an approximation to the efficient prices. I propose a real...

Several investigations have been made into the bacterial content of the stomach and small intestine in health and disease. Cregan and Hayward (1953) investigated the bacterial content of the healthy human small intestine by aspiration through the gut wall, and, on the few occasions when growth was present, found only transient flora, mainly mouth species. Anderson and Langford (1958) confirmed ...

A new species of Melinna (family Melinnidae) is described from the abyssal depths off east coast Australia. All material was collected during RV Investigator voyage “Sampling abyss” (IN2017_V03) in May–June 2017 Bass Strait, Tasmania/Victoria using a beam trawl at 4197–4133 m depth. The hamulus sp. nov. differs all other by having around 45 abdominal segments, dorsal membrane with 13–17 project...

Tenascin and thrombospondin are multimeric glycoproteins with restricted distributions in the embryonic extracellular matrix (for review see Chiquet-Ehrismann, 1991; Erickson and Bourdon, 1989; Frazier, 1991; Sage and Bornstein, 1991). Immunohistochemistry has revealed that tenascin and thrombospondin are particularly abundant in the developing central and peripheral nervous systems as well as ...

In the present configuration of livestock manure management, and particularly for the pig industry, slurry is collected from barns and stored into storage tanks inside and/or outside of livestock buildings before spreading. During this storage period, in anaerobic condition, production and accumulation of sulphur (S) compounds occur. Among the molecules produced, some are of particular concern ...

One of the most basic distortions created by the double taxation of corporate income is the disincentive to incorporate. In this paper, we investigate the extent to which the aggregate allocation of assets and taxable income in the U.S. between corporate vs. non-corporate forms of organization during the period 1959--86 has responded to the size of the tax distortion discouraging firms from inc...

Aphasia is a communication impairment that results from injury or damage to the left side of brain. It may occur after stroke, brain injury, other neurologic condition. refers loss language abilities. can result in difficulty speaking, listening, reading, writing. Many individuals also have repeating things spoken them, although some people with aphasia completely mimic utterances, leading thos...

In Mumford’s Dispositions, the reader will find an extended treatment of the recent debate about dispositions from Ryle and Geach to the present. Along the way, Mumford presents his own views on several key points, though we found the book much more thorough in its assessment of opposing views than in the development of a positive account. As we’ll try to make clear, some of the ideas endorsed ...

Intercultural Challenges in Networked Learning: Hard Technologies Meet Soft Skills by Mackie Chase, Leah Macfadyen, Kenneth Reeder and Jörg Roche This paper gives an account of themes that emerged from a preliminary analysis of a large corpus of electronic communications in an online, mediated course for intercultural learners. The goals were to test assumptions that electronic communication is...
