We focus on a relatively neglected area of the tax-compliance literature in economics, the behaviour of rms. We examine the impact of alternative audit rules on receipts from a tax on pro ts in the context of strategic interdependence of rms. In the market rms may compete in terms of either output or price. The enforcement policy can have an e ect on rms' behaviour in two dimensions { their mar...

Rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) are aggressive childhood soft-tissue malignancies deriving from mesenchymal progenitors that are committed to muscle-specific lineages. Despite the histopathological signatures associated with three main histological variants, termed embryonal, alveolar and pleomorphic, a plethora of genetic and molecular changes are recognized in RMS. Over the years, exposure to carcino...

This paper reports on the effect of random Gaussian roughness with rms roughness values of 5-20 microm on the terahertz reflection spectra of metallic aluminum surfaces using Fourier transform IR spectroscopy. By comparing experimental data with a theoretical model based on the Kirchhoff approximation, the rms roughness of a surface is accurately determined. The rms roughness determined by this...

10 Abstract This paper summarizes our survey on the devel11 opment of reconfigurable machines (RMs). The goals of this 12 survey were to (i) clarify the needs and drivers to develop the 13 RMs, (ii) define the academic and practical issues involved 14 in the development of RMs, (iii) learn the state of the art of 15 the R&D on design methodologies of the RMs, and (iv) 16 identify future researc...

BACKGROUND Rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) are rare but very aggressive childhood tumors that arise as a consequence of a regulatory disruption in the growth and differentiation pathways of myogenic precursor cells. According to morphological criteria, there are two major RMS subtypes: embryonal RMS (ERMS) and alveolar RMS (ARMS) with the latter showing greater aggressiveness and metastatic potential w...

Large artefacts that compromise EEG data quality are generated when electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are carried out concurrently. The gradient artefact produced by the time-varying magnetic field gradients is the largest of these artefacts. Although average artefact correction (AAS) and related techniques can remove the majority of this artefact, th...

We report root-mean-square (RMS) wavefront error (WFE) for individual aberrations and cumulative high-order (HO) RMS WFE for the normal human eye as a function of age by decade and pupil diameter in 1 mm steps from 3 to 7 mm and determine the relationship among HO RMS WFE, mean age for each decade of life, and luminance for physiologic pupil diameters. Subjects included 146 healthy individuals ...
