PurposeFailure to rescue (FTR), defined as death after a complication, is an established hospital quality metric for coronary and valve surgery. While prior work has documented interhospital variability in FTR durable left ventricular assist device (LVAD), less known about patient complication-specific predictors of this setting.MethodsPatients undergoing primary LVAD implantation from 2012-201...

The aim of this paper is to explore, empirically, the channels of crisis transmission with regard to the Global financial crisis. EMP-based crisis proxy is used for eight countries, which include Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Mexico and Russia. The period considered for estimation was Q1 2001 Q2 2010. Based on the Vector AutoRegression (VAR) and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS...

Purpose – The non-storable nature of electricity and the increasing complexity of financial instruments as a tool for hedging against risk make the area of research very useful in the real world. Many power portfolio optimization problems have been developed to combat the issue of risk tolerance, but very few (if any) have included transmission constraints. The purpose of this paper is to consi...

This paper analyzes the way in which international …nancial integration a¤ects the transmission of monetary policy in a New Keynesian open economy framework. It extends Woodford's (2010) analysis to a model with a richer …nancial markets structure, allowing for international trading in multiple assets and subject to …nancial intermedia-tion costs. Two di¤erent forms of …nancial integration are ...

Bu çalışmada kaskat yapıya sahip bir sistemin dalgalanmalı iki ışınlı (fluctuating two-ray, FTR) sönümlenmeli kanallarda altıgen karesel genlik modülasyonu (hexagonal quadrature amplitude modulation, HQAM) analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan analizlerde ele alınan olasılık yoğunluk fonksiyonu (probability density function, PDF) kullanılmıştır. Sunulan hata analizlerinde hem yaklaşık ifadesi d...

Phospholamban (PLB) or the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) were fused to cyan fluorescent protein (CFP) and coexpressed with PLB fused to yellow fluorescent protein (YFP). The expressed fluorescently tagged proteins were imaged using epifluorescence and total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy. YFP fluorescence was selectively bleached by a focused laser beam. CFP fluorescen...

It has long been recognized that the loop flow effects of power on an interconnected network may pose special problems for the design of efficient trading mechanisms for electricity (Hogan 1992). One mechanism currently used for the design of a power market is based on the electricity spot pricing literature (Schweppe et al., 1988). These locational marginal pricing (LMP) systems depend on cent...

ransmission is playing an increasingly vital role in the modern electric power system. The transmission network is critical for system reliability and security by physically connecting geographically dispersed regions; at the same time, it enables economies of scale in generation plants, economies from pooling diverse demands and supplies, and economies from maintenance coordination. As competi...
