I augment transaction cost economics and the learning to contract perspective by outlining the effect of asymmetric contracting capabilities on contract design and governance structure. According to the learning to contract literature, parties in contractual relationships adopt a governance structure that economizes on transaction costs, and then over time learn to govern relationships in a more e
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disease, characterized by a progressive lossof dopaminergic neurons (DN) in the substantia nigra (SN) that innervate the striatum (ST) and pathologicalaccumulation of alpha-synuclein (αsyn) protein in aggregates called Lewy bodies (LB) and Lewy neurites(LN). As a complex disease, PD presents a genetically heterogeneous origin. Mutations in si
Water reuse can contribute as an important approach and practice to the reduction of the pressures on water resources lowering the demand for potable water for purposes that do not require water's high quality. However the greywater reuse has been rarely applied in Brazil. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to evaluate a greywater collection and treatment system from lavatories, showe
Separately collected urine is an attractive potential fertilizer because of its high nutrient content, low cost, and inherent linkage of urban wastewater management and peri-urban agriculture. Urine from waterless urinals was applied to corn and lettuce plants to examine the impact of urine application rates and frequency on plant growth and soil parameters. In both corn and lettuce experiments, u
Efterord till nyutgåva av Axel Wallengrens (Falstff, fakirs) ofullbordade bok "Tripp till världens ända". Inkluderar kort biografi över Wallengren samt redogörelse för manuskriptets tillkomst och tidigare publicering.
We detail here the convergence properties of a new model-independent imaging method, the Lévy expansion, that seems to play an important role in the analysis of the differential cross section of elastic hadron-hadron scattering. We demonstrate, how our earlier results concerning the Odderon effects in the differential cross-section of elastic proton-proton and proton-antiproton scattering as well
It is shown that Technicolor model can be formulated having vector-like interaction of Techniquarks with the Standard Model bosons and Dirac mass term. Oblique corrections values for the case agree with experimental restrictions. The model Lagrangian is based on σ−model scheme introducing Techni-meson and Techni-baryon states. Neutral component of a "triplet" of heavy scalar Techni-baryons can be
The project examines how grassroots organizations and networks providing urban critical services in informal settlements contribute to improve the quality of life of urban dwellers and to more inclusive forms of urban governance, constructing the city from below.The project is informed by the study of Kisumu’s informal settlements’ Resident Associations, the Water Delegated Management Model, and t
A detailed mapping of the dominant kinematical domains contributing to the prompt atmospheric neutrino flux at high neutrino energies is presented by studying their sensitivity to the cuts on several kinematical variables crucial for charm production in cosmic ray scattering in the atmosphere. This includes the maximal center-of-mass energy for proton-proton scattering, the longitudinal momentum f
Early administration of antibiotics is associated with better survival in sepsis, thus screening and early detection for sepsis is of clinical importance. Current risk stratification scores used for bedside detection of sepsis, for example Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) and National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2), are primarily validated for death and intensive care. The primary
This paper employs Swedish data on households' stock holdings to investigate how consumption responds to changes in stock market returns. We instrument the actual capital gains and dividend payments with past portfolio weights. Unrealized capital gains lead to a marginal propensity to consume (MPC) of 23 percent for the bottom 50% of the wealth distribution and about 3 percent for the top 30% of t
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether loss of bone measured by digital X-ray radiogrammetry (DXR) of hands early in the course of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may predict future radiographic joint damage after 1 and 2 years. Methods: A total of 166 patients with early RA, who were part of the Better Anti-Rheumatic FarmacOTherapy (BARFOT) low-dose prednisolone study, were included.
Urbanization trends have changed the morphology of cities in the past decades. Complex urban areas with wide variations in built density, layout typology, and architectural form have resulted in more complicated microclimate conditions. Microclimate conditions affect the energy performance of buildings and bioclimatic design strategies as well as a high number of engineering applications. However,
