Results of arthroscopic management of chronic, recalcitrant calcific tendinopathy of the shoulder in 28 patients were evaluated. Twenty-six patients (average age, 44 years) were ultimately enrolled in the study. Postoperative radiographs were performed to determine the amount of calcium deposit removal. Radiographic examination 2 months after surgery was performed to evaluate further deposit ch...

We analyze a banking system in which the class of feasible deposit contracts, or mechanisms, is broad. The mechanisms must satisfy a sequential service constraint, but partial or full suspension of convertibility is allowed. Consumers must be willing to deposit, ex ante. We show, by examples, that under the socalled “optimal contract,” the post-deposit game can have a run equilibrium. Given a p...

This paper analyzes the joint influence of the quality of a bank’s loan portfolio, the bank’s maturity gap and its deposit rate policy on the value of deposit insurance in an arbitrage-free Basel II consistent framework. We develop and apply a two-stage structural model of a bank where deposit insurance is a European put option on the loan portfolio, the default of each loan is driven by the bo...

THE fact that pneumonia mortality is higher in urban areas suggests that air pollution has some effect upon the incidence of this disease. To test such a possibility, pneumonia mortality-rates were calculated for the whole populations of fifty-three cotinty and Metropolitan boroughs in England, Scotland, and Wales, from the Registrar General's annual statistical reviews for the 5-year period 19...
