L abor costs have recently come under scrutiny by policymakers, business economists, and financial market participants. The primary concern has been that tight labor markets might lead to faster compensation growth and, ultimately, to upward pressure on general inflation. The employment cost index (ECI) has received particularly close attention because many analysts consider it to be one of the...

The amino acids of the chymotrypsi・n inhibitor (ECI) from the Ei:ythrina vm'iagata seeds have been sequeneed. The sequence was solyed by analysis of peptides derived from the pretein by enzymatic digestions with trypsin and &upbylocoeeus aureus V8 proteinase, as well as by chemical cleayage with o-iodosobenzoic acid. The ECI consists of 179 amine aeid residues with a pyroglutamic acid as the N-...

ECI ECI sensitive to the method sensitive to the method sensitive to the method sensitive to the method sensitive to the method of aggregation? of aggregation? of aggregation? of aggregation? of aggregation? Research by BLS economists indicates that the ECI is not particularly sensitive to the methodology used in constructing the index; also, because changes in the price of labor can be due to ...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether broad-spectrum antibiotic administration to patients with preterm labor and intact membranes is associated with an improvement in neonatal and maternal outcomes, particularly in patients with microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC) or endocervical inflammation (ECI). METHODS A prospective clinical trial was conducted in which women in premature labor we...

Depression is defined as a mood condition. One key problem in depression’s clinical description is determining how persistent mood changes influence emotional reactivity to ongoing environmental stimuli. Repeatedly, depressed individuals have been observed to exhibit diminished reactivity to change in the emotional context. These observations have spawned a theory called emotion context insensi...

higher) than the analytical sensitivity, allowing for acceptable clinical specificity. Furthermore, there was excellent clinical concordance between the Vitros ECi and Dade RxL cTnI assays. The cTnI values obtained with the ECi were approximately one-half of the those obtained with the RxL cTnI, probably because of the lack of antigen and antibody standardization between assays (4 ). Thus, the ...

The electron cloud instability (ECI) at PEP-II enlarges the positron beam size at high currents and reduces the luminosity. The electrons for this instability come from multipacting electrons in the straight section vacuum chambers and, perhaps, photo-emission and secondary emission of electrons from the vacuum ante-chambers in the arcs. Solenoid and transverse field magnets have been placed ov...
