We present the complete genome sequence of Luteibacter rhizovicinus type strain LJ96T, a yellow-pigmented gammaproteobacterium isolated from the rhizosphere of barley (Hordeum vulgare) Johansen et al. (2005) , a species with numerous potential applications. The genome sequence was deposited to NCBI GenBank with the accession number CP017480.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurobehavioral disorder of childhood onset that is characterized by inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. All clinical criteria are behavioural. Inattentiveness, overactivity, and impulsiveness are presently regarded as the main clinical symptoms. The dynamic developmental behavioural theory (DDT) is based on the hypothesis that...

Many studies have estimated the aggregate import demand function for Pakistan by using non-stationary data. Their findings suffer from the so-called ‘spurious regression’ problem. This study attempts to estimate the aggregate import demand function for Pakistan by employing Johansen and Juselius cointegration technique on the annual data for the period 1975-2005. Our results show that there is ...

Soil thermal conductivity (λ) is an important property that crucial for surface energy balance and water studies. 1602 measured soil values representing 189 soils were used to evaluate five empirical models (i.e., de Vries (1963) model (de 1963), Campbell (1985) (Campbell1985), Johansen (1975) (Johansen 1975), Côté Konrad (2005) (Côté 2005), Lu et al. (2007) (Lu 2007)) seven machine learning (M...

We extend the study of the algebraic structure of the V ARd,b(k) model defined from the fractional lag operator in Johansen (2005) and derive conditions under which its solution is fractional of order d and displays linear combinations that are fractional of order d− b, d− 2b, · · · , d− cb ≥ 0, for integer c. We then find the corresponding moving average representation and the cofractional rel...

Vector autoregressive (VAR) models have often been used in the econometric literature as useful models to describe stationary/non-stationary time series. Additionally cointegrating vectors are of primary interest for researchers who investigate the long-run stable relationship between economic variables. In VAR models it is well known that cointegrating vectors are identifiable only up to their...

This paper investigates the determinants of private investment in Senegal over the period of 1970-2000. It first tests the variables for unit root using two, relatively, new tests namely the Dickey-Fuller generalised least square de-trending test proposed by Elliot et al. (1996) and the Ng-Perron test following Ng and Perron (2001). The long run private investment equation is derived using the ...

Accepted 6 May 1997 Summary The British Geriatrics Society has described 16 training objectives for senior house officers (SHOs) in geriatric medicine. We have developed these into an audit standard, and in a controlled trial we consider the effectiveness of audit as a means of monitoring and improving SHO training. SHOs from three hospitals were sent a questionnaire asking about the adequacy o...
