A recent class of factor demand models is discussed and used to analyze U.S. state-level production data. The approach accommodates output risk, heterogeneous technologies, technological change, endogenous variables, aggregation across agents, and more general flexible functional forms than previous models. We find the approach to flexibility found in the consumer literature empirically useful ...

Spatially restriction between natural proteins achieved through covalent or supramolecular assembly allow their efficient synergy to accomplish life activities. Flexible construction strategies enable the of multiple forms proteins, which provides important support for structural and functional diversity organisms in nature. Artificially controllable protein opens way us explore mysteries livin...

Fragile histidine triad (FHIT) serves a critical function as a tumor suppressor that inhibits p53 degradation by mouse double minute 2 (MDM2). The functional domains of FHIT involved in tumor inhibition was interpreted. In-silico screening data were employed to construct truncated forms of FHIT to assess their cytotoxic effects on the HT1080 cell line. Full FHIT expression was confirmed by west...

the most commonly used utility functional forms are reviewed and their properties compared. then, using data collected from west azarbaijan province, utility functions are estimated and absolute risk aversion coefficients measured. exponential and expopower utility functions classified all farmers as risk averse, but quadratic and cubic utility functions classified 75% and 65% of farmers as...

In article number 2001480 by Jongho Lee and co-workers, a unique approach is developed for the design integration of sustainably powered, bi-facial multi-functional electronic implant that provides several milliwatts power under skin feedback functions stand-alone sensing, processing, stimulation in flexible forms while occupying half area required single-faced ones.

We describe a exible object recognition and modeling system (FORMS) which represents and recognizes animate objects from their silhouettes. This consists of a model for generating the shapes of animate objects which gives a formalism for solving the inverse problem of object recognition. We model all objects at three levels of complexity: (i) the primitives, (ii) the mid-grained shapes, which a...

The development of flexible and reusable programming abstractions has suffered from the inherent problem that reusability and extensibility are limited due to position-dependent parameters. To tackle this problem, we have been working on the definition of a general-purpose composition language based on a variant of the π-calculus as formal semantics, in which agents communicate by passing immut...
