The theoretical literature on common pool problems in fiscal policy suggests that government fragmentation increases public expenditures. In parliamentary regimes, the fragmentation hypothesis refers to (i) coalition governments and (ii) cabinet size. This paper explores the effect of coalition governments and cabinet size on public expenditures with panel data covering all 16 German States ove...

Objectives To explore the therapeutic role of a short analog of TLQP-21 (JMV5656) in an experimental model of ARDS. Methods C57/BL6 mice received an instillation of 0.1 M HCl, 2.5 ml/kg into the right bronchus. They were treated with TLQP-21 0.6 mg/kg ip or vehicle control, 2 days before and on the same day of HCl challenge. Respiratory system compliance, blood gas analysis and differential cel...

itp is an autoimmune blood disorder in which platelet destruction is mediated by anti-platelet antibodies. the mechanisms of anti-platelet antibodies development are still a little known. the rate of some bacterial or viral agents in cause of itp is well known. recently, some study proposed that h pylori infection may be associated with itp and h pylori eradication can improves platelet counts ...

The growth of the mobile network system of which the cellular systems like Global System Mobile Communications (GSM) and Personal Digital Cellular (PDC) are representative and the IP network attracts worldwide attention. The IP network access through the mobile data network system is required strongly to use the useful IP services anytime and anywhere. Therefore on the mobile data network syste...

This paper presents a novel architecture and verification model of the CAN protocol controller for ASIC implementation. The key features of the proposed CAN controller are flexibility in terms of interfacing with host processors and smaller chip size. Also, the architecture is efficient for Intellectual Property (IP) reuse because of its flexibility and synthesis efficiency. For verification of...

In 1993 diagnostic criteria for incontinentia pigmenti (IP), a genodermatosis in which skin changes are usually combined with anomalies of other organs, were established. Approximately a decade ago, IKBKG gene mutation was discovered as a cause for IP. This finding has not been included in IP diagnosis so far. In addition, literature data pointed out a few other clinical findings as possible IP...
