We consider a general equilibrium model a la Bhaskar (Review of Economic Studies 2002): there are complementarities across sectors, each of which comprise (many) heterogenous monopolistically competitive …rms. Bhaskar’s model is extended in two directions: production requires capital, and labour markets are segmented. Labour market segmentation models the di¢ culties of labour migrating across ...

Modular control analysis (MoCA; Diolez P, Deschodt-Arsac V, Raffard G, Simon C, Santos PD, Thiaudiere E, Arsac L, Franconi JM. Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 293: R13-R19, 2007) was applied here on perfused hearts to describe the modifications of the regulation of heart energetics induced in mice exposed to 3-wk chronic hypoxia. MoCA combines 31P-NMR spectroscopy and modular (top down) ...

This study develops a multi-region computable general equilibrium model (CGE model) with considering limited factor movement on the regional economy of Yangtze River Delta (YRD) in China. In broadly, YRD is composed of Shanghai City, Jiangsu province, and Zhejiang province. It has been achieved remarkable economic growth in the recent three decades. It was identified as a national-level regiona...

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is one of the oldest oilseed crops. In order to investigate the evolutionary characters according to the Sesame Genome Project, apart from sequencing its nuclear genome, we sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of S. indicum cv. Yuzhi 11 (white seeded) using Illumina and 454 sequencing. Comparisons of chloroplast genomes between S. indicum and the 18 other higher...

Abstract. The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed significant structural flaws, caused deterioration of living and labor conditions, slowed down economic growth paces for both regions the country as a whole. It makes domestic economy vulnerable to various stresses that, in turn, increases vulnerability financial systems reduces their resilience. paper aims analyze trends factors causing imbalances i...

the expansion of a microbial bank for the degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) is crucial for removal of these persistent pollutants. in this study, five gram-negative, aerobic, non-fermentative bacterial strains (iii-r3, iv-p11, iv-p13, iv-r13, and v-p18) were isolated from the activated sludge of a petrochemical wastewater treatment plant using enrichment pro­ tocol based on...

Lack of capacity to cross the nucleus membrane seems to be one of the main reasons for the lower transfection efficiency of gene vectors observed in vivo study than in vitro. To solve this problem, a new non-viral gene vector was designed. First, a degradable polyethylenimine (PEI) derivate was synthesized by crosslinking low-molecular-weight (LMW) PEI with N-octyl-N-quaternary chitosan (OTMCS)...

Using a large-scale CGE model, we investigate the short-run and long-run regional economic consequences of a catastrophic event – attack via radiological dispersal device (RDD) – centered on the downtown Los Angeles area. We distinguish two main routes via which such a catastrophic event might affect regional economic activity: (i) reduction in effective resource supply (the resource loss effec...

What determines a country’s ability to compete in international markets? What fosters the global competitiveness of its firms? And in the European context, have key elements of the EU strategy such as EMU and enlargement helped or hindered domestic firms’ competitiveness in local and global markets? We address these questions by calibrating and simulating a conceptual framework that merges the ...
