ABSTRACT The hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1 (HAVcr-1) cDNA was isolated from a expression library of African green monkey kidney (AGMK) cells by using protective monoclonal antibody (MAb) 190/4, which blocks the binding (HAV) to AGMK cells. HAVcr-1 codes for havcr-1, 451-amino-acid class I integral-membrane mucin-like glycoprotein unknown natural function. To determine existence human homolog(s) (huHAVcr-1), we used HAVcr-1-specific primers amplify cDNAs liver and mRNA reverse...
Recent evidence has shown that entrants into self-employment are disproportionately drawn from the tails of earnings and ability distributions. This observation is explained by a multitask model occupational choice in which frictions labor market induce mismatches between firms workers, misassignment workers to tasks. The also yields distinctive predictions relating prior work histories probability entry self-employment. These tested with Korean Labor Income Panel Study, we find considerable...
This paper offers some new estimates of the contribution learning to rapid increases in labor productivity observed construction Liberty ships during World War II. The study exploits data on physical capital investment and vessel quality constructed from contemporary records held at National Archives. Estimates rate are shown be sensitive inclusion data, provide evidence that part measured were secured expense quality.
<h3>Background:</h3> Both postoperative epidural analgesia and intravenous (IV) infusion of local anesthetic have been shown to shorten ileus duration hospital stay after colon surgery when compared with the use systemic narcotics alone. However, they not directly each other. <h3>Methods:</h3> Prospective, randomized clinical trial was conducted comparing 2 treatments in open patients. Before induction general anesthesia, patients were either (bupivacaine 0.125% hydromorphone 6 μg/mL started...
This paper produces new estimates of the rate organizational forgetting in well-known case study U.S. wartime ship production. Estimates obtained using data constructed from primary sources at National Archives yield rates that are much smaller than previously reported, and may well be zero. The richness makes it possible to control for variations product mix, explore alternative formulations learning curve, investigate relationship between labor turnover.
Outcomes in transplantation have been limited by suboptimal long-term graft survival and toxicities associated with current immunosuppressive approaches. T cell costimulation blockade has shown promise as an alternative strategy to avoid the side effects of conventional therapies, but targeting CD28-mediated alone proven insufficient prevent rejection primates. Donor-specific memory (TM) cells implicated blockade-resistant transplant rejection, due their enhanced effector function decreased...
The concept of a learning curve for individuals has been around since the beginning twentieth century. idea that an analogous phenomenon might also apply at level organization took longer to emerge, but it had begun figure prominently in military procurement and scheduling least decade before Wright's (1936) classic paper providing evidence cost producing airframe declined as cumulative output increased. Wright was careful not describe his empirical results curve. Of three proposed...
Immunosuppressive therapies that block the CD40/CD154 costimulatory pathway have proven to be uniquely effective in preclinical xenotransplant models. Given challenges facing clinical translation of blockade, we examined efficacy and tolerability pathway-sparing immunomodulatory strategies a pig-to-nonhuman primate islet model. Rhesus macaques were rendered diabetic with streptozocin given an intraportal infusion ∼50 000 equivalents/kg wild-type neonatal porcine islets. Base...
The management of complex abdominal wall defects continues to be a challenging process secondary the high potential for wound healing issues and ventral hernia recurrences. Body mass index (BMI) is well-known risk factor when it comes complications. We hypothesize that higher BMIs result in rates postoperative complications reconstructions (CAWRs).We retrospectively reviewed all patients who underwent CAWR at Emory University Hospital over 12-year period. Patients were divided into 4 cohorts...
Abstract Background Xenogeneic donors would provide an unlimited source of islets for the treatment type 1 diabetes (T1D). The goal this study was to assess function microencapsulated adult porcine ( API s) transplanted ip in streptozotocin STZ )‐diabetic non‐human primates NHP given targeted immunosuppression. Methods s were encapsulated in: (a) single barium‐gelled alginate capsules or (b) double with inner, islet‐containing compartment and a durable, biocompatible outer layer....
Lazear's jack–of–all–trades theory suggests that individuals with balanced skills are more likely to become entrepreneurs, and can be accumulated by studying a varied curriculum, working in variety of functions, for employers. We reexamine the using matched case–control sample, constructed from professional networking website controls unobserved heterogeneity employer job characteristics. find evidence predicts entry into entrepreneurship, largely through its positive association likelihood...
We study the causes and consequences of replacement founder-CEOs in a sample 4,172 Danish start-ups. propose that founder-CEO is driven part by mismatches between business quality founder ability. Our framework suggests replacements are more likely among worst- best-performing firms, with low (high)-ability founders replaced manager higher (lower) Replacement not unambiguously associated better subsequent performance. Firms were much to fail, but surviving firms them grew considerably...
Abstract Research Summary This article advances a theory to explain why spell of entrepreneurship affects the future wages entrepreneurs returning wage sector. We propose that holds low rather than negative information value, increasing uncertainty around job applicant's productivity. Employers respond this by discounting offered wage. The predicts in hiring—and thus penalty—is more pronounced for (a) who were upper tail distribution before entrepreneurial spell, (b) exited quickly, and (c)...
Infection following implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) results in increased rates of hospital readmission, reoperation, patient and expenses, reconstructive failure. IBBR is a complex, multistep procedure, there relative lack high-quality plastic surgery evidence regarding "best practices" the prevention implant infections. In absence strong data, standardizing procedures based on available can reduce error improve efficacy outcomes.We performed focused literature review supporting...
Lazear (2005) suggests that entrepreneurs should be generalists, while those who work for others specialists. Many prospective will develop varied skills by engaging in a variety of employment activities prior to becoming an entrepreneur, and incomes are higher do so. An alternative view predicts with greater taste more likely become entrepreneurs. Varied entrepreneur is simply expression this taste, associated lower earnings. Data from survey 830 independent inventors 300 individuals the...
