Indeed, for Dr. Gordon, the Abby and John Friend Professor of Cancer Research and Professor of Medicine at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University; Chief, Division of Hematology/Oncology and Associate Director for Clinical Sciences at the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University, medicine and the study of blood diseases and cancer have been a cen...

One of the most inaonc~lusive debates in the history of American academic economics is the debate over the impact of structural shifts in the economy on employment conditions. Beginning in the late 1950’s Charles Killingsworth and others argued that rising unemployment rates were in part due to structural shifts in the economy.1 Eckstein, Heller, Knowles, Kalachek, and Gordon, among others, voc...

We study the sine-Gordon model in two dimensional space time in two different domains. For β > 8π and weak coupling, we introduce an ultraviolet cutoff and study the infrared behavior. A renormalization group analysis shows that the the model is asymptotically free in the infrared. For β < 8π and weak coupling, we introduce an infrared cutoff and study the ultraviolet behavior. A renormalizatio...

In his seminal paper, Gordon (1954) argued that, in a situation of open access and competition, the market would not lead to the most efficient solution in resource use. Almost four decades earlier, in 1911, a Danish economist, Jens Warming, put this issue and made a very similar analysis for the fisheries sector. The purpose of this research is to make a reflection on that paper and highlight ...

”Electronic Theses” is a JISC funded FAIR (Focus on Access to Institutional Resources) project spanning 2 years from July 2002 until July 2004. The project, led by RGU, consists of members from the following institutions: • The Robert Gordon University • University of Aberdeen • Cranfield University • The University of London Library • The British Library The main aim of the project is to evalu...

Using the constant growth dividend discount model (DDM), it can be shown that the critical factor which determines whether common stocks will be able to be an inflation hedge is the growth rate o f dividends. In turn, the growth of dividends is mainly impacted by the aggregate return on equity (ROE). Using the DuPont formula, it is clear that the main variable that drives the aggregate ROE in a...

Goulden, I.P., A linear operator for symmetric functions and tableaux in a strip with given trace, Discrete Mathematics 99 (1992) 69-77. The sum of Schur symmetric functions in a countable set of variables, over partitions with given trace and upper bound on the number of parts, is evaluated. This generalizes results of Gordon (1971). The method is to extend an analogous sum in a finite set of ...

An integral representation for form-factors of exponential elds e ia' in the sine-Gordon model is proposed.

A system of coupled Klein-Gordon equations is suggested to model onedimensional nonlinear wave processes in a bi-layer. The type of coupling depends on the type of the interface and constitutes an arbitrary element of the Lie group classification problem, which is solved for these equations. The classification results are used to find conservation laws and particular invariant solutions.
