If bidders have independent private values and homogeneous entry costs, a firstor secondprice auction with a reserve price equal to the seller’s value maximizes social surplus and seller revenue. We show that if entry costs are heterogeneous and private information, then the revenuemaximizing reserve price is above the seller’s value, a positive admission fee (and a reserve price equal to the s...

The effects of Anethum graveolens L. (dill) extracts on the female reproductive system were studied in 54 Wistar female rats with regular estrous cycle in six groups. The experimental groups were fed with 0.045 g/kg and 0.45 g/kg of aqueous extract, 0.5 g/kg and 5 g/kg of ethanol extract for 10 days. The sham group was fed with solvent and the controls received no treatment. The estrous cycle c...

Field Marshal Sir John Dill held the most important military offices of the Second World War. In the supreme crisis of May 1940, as the evacuations from Dunkirk were about to get under way, he was made Chiefofthe Imperial General Staff(CIGS). In the critical instant ofDecember 1941, as the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor reverberated around the world, he was translated to the United States to b...

The aim of this study was to assess the antiglycation and antioxidant properties of aqueous extract of Anethum graveolens (dill). In the in vivo and in vitro experiments, antioxidant properties, blood glucose, and AGEs formation were determined. Dill extract was given orally to healthy and diabetic rats. Our results illustrated that different concentrations of dill extract (0.125, 0.25, 0.5, an...

Background: Plants are a rich source of both organic and inorganic substances that play crucial role in determining their therapeutic effects. Within each medicinal plant, diverse array chemical compounds trace elements can be found, contributing to its wide spectrum healing properties. It is important highlight certain element found plants essential for sustaining life processes. Elements such...

Blanching is a prerequisite for preservation of green leafy vegetables. However, it may cause partial destruction of some nutrients like ascorbic acid which is highly oxidizable with time in the post harvest period on atmospheric exposure. The objective of the present study is to identify a suitable blanching treatment and conditions (temperature, time and media) for commonly consumed green lea...

Reputation systems aim to induce honest behavior in online trade by providing information about past conduct of users. Online reputation, however, is not directly connected to a person, but only to the virtual identity of that person. Users can therefore shed a negative reputation by creating a new account. We study the effects of such identity changes on the efficiency of reputation systems. W...
