We recently identified a tumor-associated antigen that was recognized by human monoclonal antibody L94. The antibody-reactive 707-AP sequence RVAALARDAP, cloned from a melanoma cDNA library, was also found to be recognized by peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) from melanoma patients. In this study, 707-AP was used to stimulate melanoma patients' PBLs for the establishment of peptidespecific CT...

of a dissertation at the University of Miami. Dissertation supervised by Professor Gerhard Dahl. No. of pages in text. (89) The recently discovered pannexins represent a second family of gap junction proteins in vertebrates. However, instead of forming intercellular gap junction channels like connexins, pannexins operate as unpaired pannexons, allowing the flux of molecules between the cytoplas...

This study analyzes issues related to “green”, i.e. low-carbon electricity investment in Europe. While traditionally the focus of attention was on green transmission lines, it has become clear in the course of this study that even though high-voltage electricity transmission is an important element of the decarbonization, there is no green transmission as such. Rather, transmission is greened b...

a r t i c l e i n f o JEL classification: D82 D83 Q49 L11 L12 L94 Keywords: Price pass-through Norwegian electricity market Price asymmetry Market power Transmission lag In this paper we estimate the pass-through of wholesale electricity price to the end consumer price with variable price contracts in the Norwegian electricity market using weekly data. We find substantial asymmetry when retaile...

Title IV of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments introduced a cap-and-trade system for sulfur dioxide emissions from electric power plants in the United States. This paper analyzes the effects of that regulatory change on the prices charged by the two railroads that hauled low-sulfur coal east from Wyoming. We estimate the effect of the tradeable permits regime by comparing prices at affected plan...

Introduction There are currently few approaches for the specification of components and component frameworks that exist. Catalysis [DW98] which has a strong relationship to the UML (Unified Modelling Language) has gained public interest and seems to have reached the maturity to be applied in industrial component-based projects (e.g. COOL:Spex from Sterling Software). From an abstract viewpoint ...

One of the central questions facing the regulatory and competition authorities is whether to delegate the regulation of the potentially competitive elements of the utility to specialised regulatory agencies, or whether they should be solely subject to normal competition laws enforced by the competition authorities – often referred to as ‘light-handed regulation’. German electricity and New Zeal...

Most US consumers are charged a near-constant retail price for electricity, despite substantial hourly variation in the wholesale market price. This paper evaluates a randomized experiment that exposed households to hourly real time pricing (RTP) and applies the demand estimates to counterfactual simulations in a structural model of the Pennsylvania-Jersey-Maryland electricity market. The model...

The infrequency of pulsating angio-endothelioma of bone appears to merit the publication of an individual case in a short note rather than its inclusion in a list of thirtythree personal interinnomino-abdominal (hindquarter) amputations wherein the case might more readily be overlooked. An appeal to the classical work of Ewing (l94 ) vouchsafes the information that the growth of endotheliomata ...

E lectricity has particular importance in the national economy and providing socio-economic welfare. It is considered an essential infrastructure of the countries development. This is why the management of electricity consumption and the formulation of proper policies for it is very important for policy-makers. To do this successfully, it is necessary to identify energy consumption p...
