I review previous approaches to modelling oligopoly in general equilibrium, and propose
a new view which in principle overcomes their deficiencies: modelling firms as large in their own market but small in the economy as ...
This paper presents a novel method for ultrasonic range estimation. The method uses a wideband frequency-hop spread spectrum ultrasonic signal to increase robustness to noise and reverberation. The method applies ...
Recent work in UCD has centred on the development of a liquid metal coating process for EUV and soft X-ray collector optics. The work involves using a room temperature liquid metal coated on a solid metal substrate of the ...
The theory of strategic trade policy yields ambiguous recommendations for assistance
to exporting firms in oligopolistic industries. However, some writers have suggested that investment subsidies are a more robust ...
Social air services continue to be provided by governments in liberalized air transport markets for reasons of regional economic development and social or political integration. Here the service policies for the US, EU and ...
People often feel unhappy in the morning but better later in the day, and this pattern may be amplified in the distressed. Past work suggests that one function of cortisol is to energize people in the mornings. In a study ...
Two series of FeZSM-5 catalysts prepared from Na+ and NH4+ ZSM-5 precursors are studied in the selective reduction of NOx using NH3 and urea as reducing agents. All Fe-containing catalysts are active for NOx reduction in ...
Nanoparticles are considered a primary vehicle for targeted therapies because they can pass biological barriers, enter and distribute in cells by energy-dependent pathways1-3. Until now, most studies have shown that ...
Since its introduction in the last decade, massive parallel sequencing, or "next-generation sequencing", has revolutionized our access to genomic information, providing accurate data with increasingly higher yields and ...

This paper investigates the link between trade and environment by exploring the effects of green tariffs on the location of firms, innovation and environmental policy. Besides the standard effect of reducing trade and ...
The creative knowledge city has received considerable attention in the last number of years, not only in the academic literature but also from urban policy-makers. Much of the attention has centred on the ‘creative class’ ...
This paper examines the role of employer provided health insurance in the retirement decisions of dual working couples. The near elderly have high-expected medical expenditures; therefore, availability of health insurance ...
Because the near-elderly have high expected medical expenditures, availability of health insurance is an important factor in their retirement decisions. Using Health and Retirement Study data collected in 1992-2002, the ...
This paper focuses on the role that mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) play in drug-induced kidney injury. The MAPKs,
of which there are four major classes (ERK, p38, JNK, and ERK5/BMK), are signalling cascades ...
In humans, thromboxane (TX) A2 signals through two TXA2 receptor (TP) isoforms, termed TPalpha and TPbeta, that diverge exclusively within their carboxyl terminal cytoplasmic domains. The amino terminal extracellular ...
We perform a numerical analysis of the double random phase encryption–decryption technique to determine how, in the case of both amplitude and phase encoding, the two decryption keys (the image- and Fourier-plane keys) ...
As the penetration of variable renewable generation increases in power systems worldwide, planning for the effects of variability will become more important. Traditional capacity adequacy planning techniques have been ...
Objective. To evaluate the role of health plan benefit design and price on consumers' decisions to purchase health insurance in the nongroup market and their choice of plan.
