A new method is presented for hydrophone calibration using the Khokhlov Zabolotskaya Kuznetsov (KZK) equation. Simulated and experimental on-axis finite amplitude distortion time waveforms and frequency spectra are compared. The hydrophone calibration up to 100 MHz is estimated for two different hydrophones.

Plasma thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3) and iodide levels were measured from birth until 30 days of age in 17 Holstein x Friesian (HF), 7 Salers and 7 Charolais calves born at term. The response of plasma T4 and T3 levels to bovine thyrotropin (TSH) injection was also compared in two groups of 9 HF calves 3hrs and 21 days, respectively, after birth. In the HF calves, plasma T4 and T3 level...

We show that non-increasing absolute ambiguity aversion is sufficient for adverse selection. We show generally that actuarially fair pricing is also sufficient for adverse selection and that advanta...
