As part of the ANDRILL McMurdo Ice Shelf (MIS) Project two comprehensive sets of geophysical data were collected on ice at the AND-1B drillsite. Whole-core physical properties were determined with high vertical resolution to a depth of 1285 mbsf. A multi-sensor-core-logger was used to determine bulk density, sonic velocity, magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity. After drilling, a s...

We define a concept of status equilibrium for local public good economies. A status equilibrium specifies one status index for each agent in an economy. These indices determine agents’ cost shares in any possible jurisdiction. We provide an axiomatic characterization of status equilibrium using consistency properties. ∗We thank James Foster, John Conley, Rick Bond, and participants of PET05 for...

In this paper, we consider minimization problems with a quasiconvex vector-valued inequality constraint. We propose two constraint qualifications, the closed cone constraint qualification for vector-valued quasiconvex programming (the VQ-CCCQ) and the basic constraint qualification for vector-valued quasiconvex programming (the VQ-BCQ). Based on previous results by Benoist, Borwein, and Popovic...

The protein toxin of Pasteurella multocida PMT is a potent mitogen and activator of phospholipase Cbeta. In this study different toxin fragments were investigated. A C-terminal fragment encompassing amino acids 581 through 1285 (PMT581C) was constructed, which was inactive toward intact embryonic bovine lung (EBL) cells after addition to culture medium but caused reorganization of the actin cyt...

OBJECTIVES A cost-effectiveness analysis on osteoporosis treatment has been carried out as the basis for an estimate of the cost per avoided hip fracture (CPAHF) in Italy. METHODS We have assumed as correct, reported data on the efficacy of calcitonin in preventing hip fractures in European women over 50 (Mediterranean Osteoporosis Study). Health-care costs were calculated using Weinstein and...

OBJECTIVES Childhood sociodemographic, psychosocial, and environmental factors are often assumed to affect adult health and longevity. These relationships were prospectively tested by using the 7-decade Terman Life Cycle Study of Children With High Ability (n = 1285). METHODS Parental socioeconomic status, childhood health, objective childhood stressors (e.g., death or divorce of parents), an...

Macroamylasemia is a benign condition characterized by abnormally large-sized serum amylase; it has been reported to occur in 1–2% of the population. In macroamylasemia, a macromolecular complex consisting of amylase linked to immunoglobulins circulates in the plasma and usually causes hyperamylasemia with low or normal amylasuria. Macroamylasemia is extremely rare in children. We report a case...
