UNLABELLED PET permits the quantification of myocardial blood flow, but is hampered by the limited spatial resolution of PET images. METHODS We evaluated two methods for the correction of resolution effects in PET perfusion 13NH3-ammonia images. In one model, the spillover and recovery coefficients are estimated in the kinetic modeling analysis. The new, second model uses an explicit delineat...

T he main objective of this study is to estimate the spatial spillover effects of the economic growth among the selected countries of MENA region. For this purpose, the Spatial Durbin Model in the framework of spatial dynamic panel data was estimated during the period of 1970-2010. The spatial Diagnostic tests affirmed the occurrence of spatial positive autocorrelation phenomenon for...

This article presents a framework for economic consequence analysis of terrorism countermeasures. It specifies major categories of direct and indirect costs, benefits, spillover effects, and transfer payments that must be estimated in a comprehensive assessment. It develops a spreadsheet tool for data collection, storage, and refinement, as well as estimation of the various components of the ne...

The plasma membrane GABA transporter GAT1 is thought to mediate uptake of synaptically-released GABA. In the primate dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), GAT1 expression changes significantly during development and in schizophrenia. The consequences of such changes, however, are not well understood because GAT1’s role has not been investigated in primate neocortical circuits. We thus studied...

This paper examines the role of spillover effects minimum wages and threat unionization in changes wage inequality United States between 1979 2017. A distribution regression framework is introduced to estimate both types effects. Threat double contribution deunionization increase male inequality. Spillover magnify explanatory power declining two-thirds at bottom end female distribution.

Glycerol monolaurate (GML), a representative fatty acid glyceride, was used to promote growth. This study investigated the effects of GML in diets on growth, serum biochemical parameters, antioxidant capacity, liver morphology and lipid metabolism for juvenile pompano Trachinotus ovatus . Six groups T. (mean weight = 14.00 ± 0.70 g) were fed with six diets, containing varying levels 0.00% (G0),...

The cross-edge spillover of subsidized predators from anthropogenic to natural habitats is an important process affecting wildlife, especially bird, populations in fragmented landscapes. However, the importance of the spillover of insect natural enemies from agricultural to natural habitats is unknown, despite the abundance of studies examining movement in the opposite direction. Here, we synth...

We examine the extended effects of an incentive-based behavioral health intervention that financially penalized shoppers who failed to improve the nutritional quality of their grocery basket. While the intervention successfully motivated the target behavior, less is known about any persistence and spillover effects that could lead to worse behavior in other domains. Because many theories predic...
