This paper finds that fertility responds to productivity differently depending upon the economy’s stage of development. At low levels of development, productivity increases will increase fertility while at the more advanced stages of development, productivity increases lower fertility. During the process there may be important interaction effects between productivity and education demand. Incre...

BACKGROUND A key goal for services treating older persons is improving Quality of Life (QoL). This study aimed to 1) determine the QoL and utility (i.e. satisfaction with own quality of life) for participants of a discharge program for older people following an extended hospital episode of care and 2) examine the impact of the intensity of this program on utility gains over time. METHODS A pr...

Ambiguous stops between /t/ and /k/ tend to be heard as /k/ after /s/-final words and as /t/ after /ʃ/-final words. Elman and McClelland (1988, Journal of Memory and Language, 27, 143–165) obtained this compensation for coarticulation effect when the word-final fricatives were replaced with an ambiguous phoneme and argued that this indicated top-down lexical involvement in a prelexical process,...

This study aimed to identify the relationship between satisfaction with transitional care and quality of life of chronically ill adolescents over time. This longitudinal study included adolescents with type I diabetes, juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and neuromuscular disorders (NMD). At baseline 138 respondents (response rate 31 %) filled in a questionnaire and 188 about 1 year later (res...

Transitional words provide directional clues for the reader. They show the relationship between sentences in a paragraph. For example, the word furthermore says, "Wait! I have still more to say on the subject." So the reader holds the previously read sentences in mind while reading the next few sentences. This is a list of other transitional words and expressions.

The transitional stage is a key check-point for elimination of autoreactive B cells in the periphery. This selection process requires fine regulation of signals received through BCR and B cell activating factor (BAFF) receptor. We previously identified the adaptor molecule Act1 as a negative regulator of BAFF-mediated signaling. Deficiency of Act1 in mice results in peripheral B cell hyperplasi...

BACKGROUND Hospitals are frequently faced with high levels of emergency department presentations and demand for inpatient care. An important contributing factor is the subset of patients with complex chronic diseases who have frequent and preventable exacerbations of their chronic diseases. Evidence suggests that some of these hospital readmissions can be prevented with appropriate transitional...

The manuscript demonstrates that the solution of algebraic quadratic equations on the set of real numbers sometimes gives the results which contradict the transitional processes in oscillation systems. The solution of algebraic quadratic equations on the set of complex numbers, on the contrary, always agrees with the transitional processes in oscillation systems.
