The objectives of this study is to investigate the responses of livestock economic variables (namely, output, consumption, prices, labor and capital) to changes in agricultural productivity, monetary, oil revenue and government spending (fiscal policy). To do so, a Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model is constructed for Iran economy disaggregating livestock. Accordingly, the empi...

EMA is a method to estimate the dielectric response of a compound material [1]. We study a nanocrystalline film compound manufactured under highly nonequilibrium conditions, composed of crystalline silicon, c-Si, amorphous silicon, a-Si, and voids. The structure of crystalline silicon can be modified by introducing amorphous silicon. So, the optical properties can be changed because another pha...

The study was aimed to establish the effect of aerobic exercise on reflection index (RI), stiffness index (SI) and brachial finger pulse wave velocity (BFPWV) in healthy subjects of Bangalore, India. Students of 18 to 25 years (males) were recruited according to the inclusion criteria. The subjects were trained on treadmill for a period of 8 weeks, and the above parameters were measured using B...

BACKGROUND Few studies have examined the relation between dietary carbohydrate quality, adiposity, and insulin dynamics in children. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to determine which aspects of dietary carbohydrate, specifically dietary sugar, fiber, glycemic index, or glycemic load, are associated with adiposity and insulin dynamics in overweight Latino children. DESIGN We examin...

The clear need for accurate landslide susceptibility mapping has led to multiple approaches. Physical models are easily interpreted and have high predictive capabilities but rely on spatially explicit and accurate parameterization, which is commonly not possible. Statistical methods can include other factors influencing slope stability such as distance to roads, but rely on good landslide inven...

Abstract Shock‐lithification is a fundamental process of making rocks from fine‐grained and porous regoliths on the surface Moon. Previous investigations have constrained potential shock pressures during shock‐lithification based experimental numerical simulations. However, pressure temperature conditions not been directly inferred natural lunar breccias. Here, we report discovery widespread ti...

We report parametric studies of elastic wave generation by a pulsed laser and associated spalling of thin surface films by the corresponding high stresses. Two different substrate materials, single crystal Si (100) and fused silica, are considered. Spallation behavior of Al thin films is investigated as a function of substrate thickness, film thickness, laser energy, and various parameters gove...

Cardiogenic shock is a lethal condition. Physicians are searching for hemodynamic markers which could help risk-stratification of patients in this picture. Torgersen and coworkers present an hourly time integral of the cardiac power index and cardiac index drops to predict outcomes in the setting of cardiogenic shock. Continuous monitoring of hemodynamic markers may have a role in prediction of...

Pain is a complex experience involving extensive interactions between brain and spinal cord processes. Various interventions that modulate pain, such as the application of a competing noxious stimulus (counterirritation), are thought to involve cerebrospinal regulation through diffuse noxious inhibitory controls (DNICs). However, no study has yet examined the relation between brain and spinal c...
