This paper empirically assesses the incidence and efficiency of Round I of the federal urban Empowerment Zone (EZ ) program using confidential microdata from the Decennial Census and the Longitudinal Business Database. Using rejected and future applicants to the EZ program as controls, we find that EZ designation substantially increased employment in zone neighborhoods and generated wage increa...

Purpose Our earlier study showed that the width of the intact ellipsoid zone (EZ) of the photoreceptors was significantly but weakly correlated with the amplitudes of the focal macular ERGs (FMERGs). The aim of this study was to determine a microstructure of the photoreceptors in the spectral-domain optical coherence tomographic (SD-OCT) images that was more strongly correlated with the FMERG p...

SEEG is a method and technique which is used for accurate, invasive recording of seizure activity via three dimensional recordings. In epilepsy patients who are deemed appropriate candidates for invasive recordings, the decision to monitor is made between the subdural grids versus SEEG. Invasive neuromonitoring for epilepsy is pursued in patients with complex, medically refractory epilepsy. The...

It is shown how the coherent states permit to find different geometrical objects as the geodesics, the conjugate locus, the cut locus, the Calabi’s diastasis and its domain of definition, the Euler-Poincaré characteristic, the number of Borel-Morse cells, the Kodaira embedding theorem. 1 Coherent state manifold and coherent vector manifold In this talk the coherent states [] are presented as a ...

Identifying the epileptogenic zone (EZ) in patients with refractory nonlesional frontal lobe epilepsy is frequently challenging. Intracranial EEG (icEEG) recordings are often required to better delineate the EZ, but the presence of an extensive network of connections allowing rapid ictal spread may result in bilateral homologous regional (or extremely diffuse) electrical ictal patterns. Here, w...

In high inorganic carbon grown (1% CO(2) [volume/volume]) cells of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus PCC7942, the carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitor, ethoxyzolamide (EZ), was found to inhibit the rate of CO(2) uptake and to reduce the final internal inorganic carbon (C(i)) pool size reached. The relationship between CO(2) fixation rate and internal C(i) concentration in high C(i) grown cells was ...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the use of EZ Derm® (Molnlycke Health Care, US, LLC, Norcross, GA) on partial-thickness burns. METHODS A retrospective review of medical records from patients presenting to the Tampa General Regional Burn Center from January 1, 2008, through January 1, 2012, was conducted. A hospitalwide list of patients was generated on the basis of the presence of charge codes for EZ ...

1.1 Notation. As Bourbaki intended, we let N denote the set of finite cardinals, {0, 1, 2, . . .}. Throughout this section, let F be a field. We shall write dim(V ) to denote the F-dimension of an F-module V . Throughout this section, let (Z,VZ,EZ,EZ ι,τ −→ VZ) be a finite (oriented) graph; here, Z is a finite set, VZ ⊆ Z, EZ = Z −VZ, and ι and τ are functions. Each e ∈ EZ has an associated pic...

EZ Reader is an intelligent electronic mail (email) reader that employs a unique combination of rulebased parsing and case-based reasoning to automatically and with a high level of accuracy classify and respond to large volumes of incoming email. EZ Reader reduces the time and human resources required to handle incoming email by selecting responses and adding attachments and advice to each inco...
