M ixed venous oxygen saturation (Sv ៮o 2) in sepsis is commonly referred to as an end point of low impact on clinical decisions in sepsis patients because of the following common refrain: ...

■ Wide supply voltage, 2.16 V to 3.6 V ■ Low voltage compatible IOs, 1.8 V ■ Ultra low-power mode consumption down to 10 μA ■ ±2g/±4g/±8g dynamically selectable full-scale ■ I2C/SPI digital output interface ■ 16 bit data output ■ 2 independent programmable interrupt generators for free-fall and motion detection ■ Sleep to wake-up function ■ 6D orientation detection ■ Embedded self-test ■ 10000 ...

Introduction It is known that intestinal intramucosal pH (pHi) is a good parameter of tissue perfusion in critical patients. However, physiological meaning of pHi value related to other physiological parameter, such as stress hormone, is not well known. The purpose of the study is to clarify the importance of monitoring pHi during hemorrhagic shock in pig model. The relation between pHi, oxygen...

A model of the G-3 is introduced which has a transparent structure including a simple but analytically tractable supply side. New optimising techniques are used to conduct extensive policy experiments on this multicountry model (including full Nash solutions and a fully cooperative solution). In the case of a fiscal shock originating in the US we find evidence of significant spillovers to other...

We accomplish two tasks to characterize aggregate price stickiness in this paper. First, we endogenize β, the fraction of the firms keeping their price unchanged following a money supply shock in the near-rationality model (Akerlof and Yellen, 1985) by introducing a distribution of price-adjustment barriers among the firms into the near-rationality model. Second, as β can be considered an indic...

• Three selectable full scales (250/500/2000 dps) • I2C/SPI digital output interface • 16 bit-rate value data output • 8-bit temperature data output • Two digital output lines (interrupt and data ready) • Integrated lowand high-pass filters with userselectable bandwidth • Wide supply voltage: 2.4 V to 3.6 V • Low voltage-compatible IOs (1.8 V) • Embedded power-down and sleep mode • Embedded tem...

Assumption of exchange rate overshooting has significant position in international macroeconomic discussion. This phenomenon is one of the abnormal behaviors of exchange rate that happen in short run. Dornbusch (1976) shows that because speed of equilibrium prices is slow relative to asset markets and commodity prices are sticky in the short run, However, over time, commodity prices will rise a...

Nowadays one of the most important issues in our economy, both from economic and political view is the link between monetary policy and business cycle fluctuations. Amongst the shocks related to the supply side, the shock of oil price is the important factor that has affected the world economy since the 1970s. This paper examines the effects of monetary policy and oil price shocks on the busine...

Abstract In this paper, we develop an overlapping generations model with endogenous fertility and calibrate it to the Swedish historical data in order estimate economic cost of 1918–19 influenza pandemic. The identifies survivors from younger cohorts as main benefactors windfall bequests following mortality shock. We also show that general equilibrium effects pandemic reveal themselves over wag...

This paper quantifies and assesses the impact of an adverse loan supply (LS) shock on Peru's main macroeconomic aggregates using a Bayesian vector autoregressive (BVAR) model in combination with identification scheme sign restrictions. The results indicate that LS shock: (i) reduces credit real GDP growth by 372 75 basis points period, respectively; (ii) explains 11.2% variability average over ...
