An upstream manufacturer can use minimum resale price maintenance (RPM) to exclude potential competitors. RPM lets the incumbent manufacturer transfer profits to retailers. If entry is accommodated by retailers, upstream competition leads to fierce downstream competition and the breakdown of RPM.

Initially, imperfect competition appeared to have successfully extended marginal analysis to all market forms. It also allowed Richard Kahn and Jo...

Four carefully selected military personnel undergoing flight training were exposed to constant rotation at a speed of 10 RPM for 12 days in the Pensacola Slow Rotation Room. Environmental and working conditions simulated in many respects those which might obtain in a rotating orbiting spacecraft. The findings are discussed under three headings: clinical symptoms, clinical laboratory findings an...

Estimation of human oxygen uptake (V˙o2) during exercise is often used as an alternative when its direct measurement is not feasible. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) suggests estimating human V˙o2 during exercise on a cycle ergometer through an equation that considers individual's body mass and external work rate, but not pedaling rate (PR). We hypothesized that including PR in t...
