Most people infected by EBV acquire specific immunity, which then controls latent infection throughout their life. Immune surveillance of EBV-infected cells cytotoxic CD4+ T has been recognized; however, the molecular mechanism generating effector subset remains poorly understood. Here we compared phenotypic features and transcriptome EBV-specific effector-memory CD8+ in mice found that both cell types show cytotoxicity and, to our surprise, widely similar gene expression patterns relating...
This paper uses the Nash bargaining model to examine effects of distribution system on firms purchasing multiple inputs.We show that network combination, is, vertical integration between a manufacturer and retail firm, does not always bring enterprise superiority nonintegrated firm.Although classical economic theory articulates vertically integrated typically have an advantage over non-integrated in profits, as former can eliminate double marginalization, this is case if we consider...
This study examines the properties of downward-sloping region linear supply function equilibrium (cartel case), which has not been considered in literature.In simple duopoly settings, we find two regions, depending on cartel type.Specifically, a tight cartel, fiercer competition yields higher profits to firms, but is unstable.Instead, case loose lower profits, and stable.Thus, our framework, individual firms' as stable are maximized pure rather somewhat weak cartel.This result sheds lights...
<p><em>This study models the electricity industry as a successive</em><em> Cournot</em><em> oligopoly market to compare performance between generation and retail sectors’ liberalization. We show that, assuming identical fixed costs on free entry into both sectors, liberalization of sector can dominate that with regard social welfare.</em></p>
