A method for cutting the 110’000 PbWO4 crystals of the CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter is proposed. The machinery, the tooling and the sequence of operation are described. Processing parameters resulting from experimental runs are indicated. A mass production organisation is forecasted. CMS Note 1997/024 01 04 1997 M. Lebeau 2

OBJECTIVE Inflammation is associated with the disruption of the aortic media and appears to play a fundamental role in the progression and development of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Haptoglobin (Hp) is a genetically determined acute phase protein, the synthesis of which is increased during inflammation. This study was designed to investigate both phenotype and plasma levels of Hp in patien...

We provide an existence proof for Generalized Marginal Cost Pricing with given tax-subsidy rules. The novelty is that our approach allows for economic environments where all the generalized marginal cost pricing equilibria are inefficient in the aggregate. An example is recalled in order to suggest how non-pathological these environments are. Journal of Economic Literature Classification Number...

Introduction We have detected several genetic variants of CASP1 in patients suffering from unexplained recurrent febrile episodes. Paradoxically, in vitro and in vivo analyses of patients’ cells revealed decreased enzymatic activity of these caspase-1 variants leading to impaired cytokine production despite the proinflammatory phenotype of the patients. The pathophysiological processes associat...

In this paper we propose a tick time model for dealer quote interactions using ultra-high-frequency data. We include duration functions to measure the time dependence of volatility as well as information. In order to asses price discovery we define several measures in tick time. These measures can be aggregated to calender time and we define a comparative measure to Hasbrouck (1995) information...
