The vertebrate body plan arises during gastrulation, when morphogenetic movements form the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. In zebrafish, mesoderm and endoderm derive from the marginal region of the late blastula, and cells located nearer the animal pole form the ectoderm [1]. Analysis in mouse, Xenopus, and zebrafish has demonstrated that Nodal-related proteins, a subclass of the TGF-beta sup...

This paper deals with the following question associated with congestion pricing in a general network with either fixed or elastic travel demand: what is the maximum efficiency loss of a general second-best pricing scheme due to inexact marginal-cost pricing in comparison with the first-best pricing or system optimum case? A formal answer to this question is provided by establishing an inefficie...

Creating successful competitive electric power markets requires transmission pricing reform. Due to the physics of power transmission networks, efficient transmission prices must incorporate two types of loop flow externalities, and must be determined jointly with efficient power (nodal) prices. Prior proposed market schemes all involve an approximation to the efficient prices. I propose a real...

The objective of this report is to investigate methodologies for zone creation suitable for zonal pricing by the California ISO. It is recognized that in meshed networks, zones are only approximations to individual node pricing. The objective, however, is to create zones that closely approximate the "correct" nodal prices under most conditions and where the majority of the "commercially signifi...

Nodal marginal zone lymphoma is a poorly defined entity in the World Health Organization classification, based largely on criteria of exclusion and the diagnosis often remains subjective. Follicular lymphoma lacking t(14;18) has similar characteristics which results in a major potential diagnostic overlap which this study aims to dissect. Four subgroups of lymphoma samples (n=56) were analyzed ...

In this paper, we consider an economy with infinitely many commodities and non-convex production sets. We propose a definition of the marginal pricing rule which allows us to encompass the case of smooth and convex production sets. We also show the link with the definition used in a finite dimensional setting where the marginal pricing rule is defined by means of the Clarke’s normal cone. We pr...

Zimmerman (1995) notes that the two most frequently observed transfer pricing methods are market price transfer pricing and full cost transfer pricing. Under the …rst of these, the transfer price observed by the local manager is the marginal cost plus a markup over marginal cost which re‡ects the price elasticity of demand of the product in an external market. This markup will be denoted j and ...
