he protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii heads out of its host cell when Ca 2 ϩ levels peak in its cytoplasm. Now, Arrizabalaga et al. (page 653) find that proper regulation of these Ca 2 ϩ levels, and thus of Toxoplasma exit, requires a Na ϩ /H ϩ exchanger (NHE), suggesting a link between proton and Ca 2 ϩ regulation. The increase in Ca 2 ϩ levels, which can be induced artificially with an iono...

consumer purchasing decisions relating to foreign products are influenced by economic, psychological and sociological factors. this study attempts to relate such rarely studied variables as animosity and ethnocentrism to concepts taken from consumer behavior which are brand image and purchase intention. consequently, this study attempts to provide insights into how brand image, consumer ethnoce...

This study compares workplace dispute resolution strategies (exit, voice, and toleration) in matched pairs of conventional and worker-owned cooperative organizations operating in three industries – coal mining, taxicab driving, and organic food distribution. Building on Hirschman’s classic exit, voice, and loyalty thesis, this research demonstrates how the degree of loyalty that workers hold af...

The anesthesia ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) procedure is a specialized surgical procedure used to deliver babies who have airway compression due to cystic adenomatoid malformation, bronchopulmonary sequestration, cervical teratomas, or other congenital conditions. EXIT is erroneously known as a routine cesarean section (CS), but is rather an extension of CS with discernible differences...

We consider the problem where p searchers explore m > p half-lines, all joined at a common origin. The searchers travel at unit speed and the goal is to find a single object, or “exit” whose location is bounded away from the origin. We consider two minmax measures of effectiveness for a search strategy. The first is the worst case distancecompetitive ratio. This is the smallest value that excee...

The paper investigates dynamic linkages between entry and exit rates in Brazilian manufacturing in the context of 231 (four-digit) industries during the 1996– 2005 period. The empirical analysis focuses on the estimation of a dynamic panel data model for entry and exit rates, and controls for the business cycle and structural characteristics, such as industrial concentration and suboptimal scal...
