This paper introduces an optical measurement system for shock wave characteristics. The system works by mountinga metal plate attached to spring mounts against the shock wavefront. This set is sealed and can plot the shock wave pressure diagram by measuring plate's displacement, radiation and changing the reflection of light during shock wave conflict, and converting these optical data to volta...

Do borrowers demand less credit from banks with weak balance sheets, following monetary policy shocks? To answer this, we use novel bank-specific survey data matched sheet information for euro area banks. We find that, a shock, bank strength influences as well supply. Bank resilience is important firms when selecting lender and it therefore vital to control identifying supply shocks. An applica...

This paper explores the role of product quality in explaining observed price, production cost and trade patterns. Schott (2004) shows that for narrowly defined product the average unit value of goods imported by the US is increasing in the revenue, skill abundance, and capital intensity of the exporting country. These patterns are difficult to reconcile with a theory in which productivity’s uni...

The COVID-19 pandemic, which began as an international health crisis, has quickly become economic crisis on both national and global scale. As economies are linked through value chains, this significantly affected the economy. strict measures to prevent rapid spread of virus negatively supply demand relations. In study, authors examine inter-provincial supply–demand relations in Turkey via a co...

The paper analyses the relationship between shadow economy and unemployment rates using a Structural VAR approach for quarterly data during the period 2000-2010. The size of Romanian shadow economy is estimated using the currency demand approach based on VECM models, stating that its size is decreasing over the analyzed period, from 36.5% at the end of 2000 to about 31.5% of real GDP at the mid...

Given the difficulty in the prevention of terrorism, we have to figure out how to insulate our economy from a shock following a terrorist attack. For this purpose, it is indispensable to understand how terrorism can negatively influence the economy. In this paper, the focus is on the case of a small open economy where imports exceed exports. I pay a particular attention to the response of the c...

Molecular chaperones are required to maintain the proteome in a folded and functional state. When challenges to intracellular folding occur, the heat shock response is triggered, leading to increased synthesis of a class of inducible chaperones known as heat shock proteins (HSP). Although HSP synthesis is known to undergo a general decline in most cells with aging, the extent of this process va...

The chromosphere of the quiet Sun is a highly intermittent and dynamic phenomenon. Three-dimensional radiation (magneto-)hydrodynamic simulations exhibit a meshlike pattern of hot shock fronts and cool expanding post-shock regions in the sub-canopy part of the inter-network. This domain might be called “fluctosphere”. The pattern is produced by propagating shock waves, which are excited at the ...

the mothers may be infected during pregnancy with infectious agents. mumps induced myocarditis, especially endocardial fibroelastosis, was previously a common disease of infants but is rare now. a 25 day old male infant admitted to the intensive care of our hospital because of cardiogenic shock. further studies revealed ischemic electrocardiograms, poor ventricular function, and positive result...

BACKGROUND Low to moderate doses of vasopressin have been used in the treatment of cathecholamine-dependent vasodilatory shock in sepsis or after cardiac surgery. We evaluated the effects of vasopressin on jejunal mucosal perfusion, gastric-arterial pCO2 gradient and the global splanchnic oxygen demand/supply relationship in patients with vasodilatory shock after cardiac surgery. METHODS Eigh...
