Previous research has demonstrated that the generally positive relationship between age and the presence of charitable giving becomes negative at the oldest ages. We investigate potential causes of this drop in charitable giving among the oldest old including changes in health, cognition, egocentric networks, religious attendance, and substitution of charitable bequest planning. A longitudinal ...

L EPORE HEMOGLOBINS are the result of unequal crossing over between structural genes coding for #{244} and f3 polypeptide chains of human hemoglobin during melosis. The abnormal polypeptide chain #{244} 3 produced after this crossing over has part of the 5 chain at its N terminus, and the remaining part is similar to the i chain.’ The point of fusion of the two polypeptide chains and the propor...

Solids of revolution (vases, bottles, bells, . . .), shortly SORs, are very common objects in man-made environments. We present a complete framework for 3D database population from a single image of a scene including a SOR. The system supports human intervention with automated procedures to obtain good estimates of the interest entities needed for 3D reconstruction. The system exploits the spec...

A consideration of the data presented in an earlier paper (GRAUBARD 1932) brings out certain facts with regard to the mechanism of crossing over in chromosome I1 of Drosophila melanogaster which may have general significance. In the previous work experiments were performed to study crossing over and interference along the entire length of the normal chromosome I1 and of the same chromosome with...

In 1991, J. E. Thomson determined completely the structure of H2(μ), the closed subspace of L2(μ) that is spanned by the polynomials, whenever μ is a compactly supported measure in the complex plane. As a consequence he was able to show that if H2(μ) = L2(μ), then every function f ∈ H2(μ) admits an analytic extension to a fixed open set Ω, thereby confirming in this context a phenomenon noted e...

The Portuguese Ministry of Education has intervened in the Technologies and Information Systems (TIS) of the educational system with a Technological Plan for Education (TPE). The TPE is the Portuguese initiative for ICT in education, and is an intervention in three axis Technology axis,

We present a search-based model of the interbank money market and monetary policy implementation. Banks are subject to reserve requirements and the central bank tenders reserves. Interbank payments redistribute holdings and banks trade with each other in a decentralized (over-the-counter) market. The central bank provides standing facilities where banks can either deposit surpluses or borrow to...

An essential component of the proof is the following lemma. LEMMA C. Given u subharmonic on F and f locally of type-Bi, let U be defined on G as the upper function of sup u(p). If U < + c, then U is f(p) =a subharmonic on G. A consequence of theorem B is that the classical theorem of Iversen may be extended to maps which are locally of type-Bl. Lemma C admits a number of applications to other p...
