background: leishmaniasis is an obligate intercellular protozoon that affects animals and human. it has zoonosis and/or anthroponosis transmission. human and veterinary medicine, environmental science and wildlife conservation special­ists have many commonalities in case of visceral leishmaniasis. still the above disciplines respond against leishmaniasis in a separate way.   the aim of this re­...

In recent y ears there has been a revival of interest in the trade-growth nexus. A number of authors have suggested that regional economic integration and liberalization of international trade are likely to have positive eects not only on productivity levels but also on long-term productivity growth rates in developing countries. Using a panel of Mexican manufacturing industries, this paper exa...

This paper presents a data mining system being capable of automatically estimating and updating a large-size matrix for environmental accounting. Environmental accounting addresses how to correctly measure greenhouse gas emission of an organization. Among the various environmental accounting methods, the Economic Input-Output Life Cycle Assessment (EIO-LCA) method uses information about industr...

We propose an extremely energy-ecient mixed-signal approach for performing vector-by-matrix multiplication in a time domain. In such implementation, multi-bit values of the input and output vector elements are represented with time-encoded digital signals, while multi-bit matrix weights are realized with current sources, e.g. transistors biased in subthreshold regime. With our approach, multip...

Offshoring – the importing of intermediate materials and services – has expanded rapidly in most industrialized countries and its impact on the labor markets in these countries has been the source of enormous debate in both scholarly and popular circles. Since data on imported inputs at the sectoral level are not available for the US and the UK, empirical research has relied entirely on a proxy...

Introduction: Coupling between coil elements of a transmit array is one of the key challenges faced by designers of MRI transmitter arrays. To address this challenge, methods and systems have been developed to change the output impedance of the RF power amplifiers driving the array coils in order to suppress inter-element coupling effects. Chu [1], for example, proposed an output-matching netwo...

Using households' balance-sheet composition in the Panel Survey of Income Dynamics, we identify six household types. Since 1999, there has been a decline share patient households and an increase impatient with negative wealth. six-agent New Keynesian model search matching frictions, explore how changes shares affect transmission government spending shocks. We show that relative left tail wealth...

because of the piecewise linear nature of the data envelopment analysis (dea) frontier, the optimal multipliers of the dea models may not be unique. choosing weights from alternative optimal solutions of dual multiplier models is one of the most frequently studied subjects in the context of dea. in this paper, the authors have been inspired by the idea of cooper et al. (2011) to propose a linea...

a r t i c l e i n f o We explore the sectoral and aggregate implications of some endogeneization rules (i.e. on value-added and final demand) which have been common in the extended demand-driven Leontief model and have been recently proposed in the supply-driven Ghosh model. Extended linear models are refinements that aim at endowing the linear models with additional general equilibrium feedbac...
