Insulin Resistance In Horses, Jenifer Nadeau Sep 2006

Insulin Resistance In Horses, Jenifer Nadeau

Extension Articles

Insulin resistance is a newly recognized problem in horses that may have been around a long time. You may be wondering what it is all about and how your horse may/may not be affected. It is probably not as common a problem as it may seem. This article will discuss insulin resistance including its causes, effects, diagnosis, treatment and prevention.

An Integral Philosophy And Definition Of Nursing: Implications For A Unifying Meta-Theory Of Nursing, Olga F. Jarrin Sep 2006

An Integral Philosophy And Definition Of Nursing: Implications For A Unifying Meta-Theory Of Nursing, Olga F. Jarrin

School of Nursing Scholarly Works

A unifying meta-theory of nursing is suggested, building from the foundation of Ken Wilber’s AQAL (integral) framework. A definition of nursing as situated caring is presented. Historical discussion of contemporary nursing epistemology and theory are provided for context. Implications for practice, education, and research are discussed. A unifying meta-theory of nursing is needed to most benefit from the diversity in nursing education, practice, theory and research. A unifying meta-theory will enable nurses at both the practical and academic levels to appreciate the complexity and simplicity of nursing, allowing them to articulate confidently what we do and why we do it.

Criminal Solicitation, Entrapment, And The Enforcement Of Law, Thomas J. Miceli Sep 2006

Criminal Solicitation, Entrapment, And The Enforcement Of Law, Thomas J. Miceli

Economics Working Papers

This paper examines the optimal use of criminal solicitation as a law enforcement strategy. The benefits are greater deterrence of crime (due to the greater likelihood of apprehension), and the savings in social harm as some offenders are diverted away from committing actual crimes through solicitation. The costs are the expense of hiring undercover cops and the greater likelihood of punishment. The optimal use of solicitation balances these factors. The paper also examines the justification for the entrapment defense, which exonerates those caught in a criminal solicitation but who otherwise had no predisposition to commit a crime.


An Economic Theory Of Mortgage Redemption Laws, Matthew J. Baker, Thomas J. Miceli, C. F. Sirmans Sep 2006

An Economic Theory Of Mortgage Redemption Laws, Matthew J. Baker, Thomas J. Miceli, C. F. Sirmans

Economics Working Papers

Redemption laws give mortgagors the right to redeem their property following default for a statutorily set period of time. This paper develops a theory that explains these laws as a means of protecting landowners against the loss of nontransferable values associated with their land. A longer redemption period reduces the risk that this value will be lost but also increases the likelihood of default. The optimal redemption period balances these effects. Empirical analysis of cross-state data from the early twentieth century suggests that these factors, in combination with political considerations, explain the existence and length of redemption laws.

Automatic Stabilizer Feature Of Fixed Exchange Rate Regimes In Emerging Markets, Uluc Aysun Aug 2006

Automatic Stabilizer Feature Of Fixed Exchange Rate Regimes In Emerging Markets, Uluc Aysun

Economics Working Papers

This paper shows that countries characterized by a financial accelerator mechanism may reverse the usual finding of the literature -- flexible exchange rate regimes do a worse job of insulating open economies from external shocks. I obtain this result with a calibrated small open economy model that endogenizes foreign interest rates by linking them to the banking sector's foreign currency leverage. This relationship renders exchange rate policy more important compared to the usual exogeneity assumption. I find empirical support for this prediction using the Local Projections method. Finally, 2nd order approximation to the model finds larger welfare losses under flexible …


Determinants And Effects Of Maturity Mismatches In Emerging Markets: Evidence From Bank Level Data, Uluc Aysun Aug 2006

Determinants And Effects Of Maturity Mismatches In Emerging Markets: Evidence From Bank Level Data, Uluc Aysun

Economics Working Papers

Despite the extensive work on currency mismatches, research on the determinants and effects of maturity mismatches is scarce. In this paper I show that emerging market maturity mismatches are negatively affected by capital inflows and price volatilities. Furthermore, I find that banks with low maturity mismatches are more profitable during crisis periods but less profitable otherwise. The later result implies that banks face a tradeoff between higher returns and risk, hence channeling short term capital into long term loans is caused by cronyism and implicit guarantees rather than the depth of the financial market. The positive relationship between maturity mismatches …


Testing For Balance Sheet Effects In Emerging Market Countries, Uluc Aysun Aug 2006

Testing For Balance Sheet Effects In Emerging Market Countries, Uluc Aysun

Economics Working Papers

This paper tests the presence of balance sheets effects and analyzes the implications for exchange rate policies in emerging markets. The results reveal that the emerging market bond index (EMBI) is negatively related to the banks' foreign currency leverage, and that these banks' foreign currency exposures are relatively unhedged. Panel SVAR methods using EMBI instead of advanced country lending rates find, contrary to the literature, that the amplitude of output responses to foreign interest rate shocks are smaller under relatively fixed regimes. The findings are robust to the local projections method of obtaining impulse responses, using country specific and GARCH-SVAR …


A Framework For Realistic And Systematic Multicast Performance Evaluation, Li Lao, Jun-Hong Cui, Mario Gerla Aug 2006

A Framework For Realistic And Systematic Multicast Performance Evaluation, Li Lao, Jun-Hong Cui, Mario Gerla

CSE Articles

Previous multicast research often makes commonly accepted but unverifed assumptions on network topologies and group member distribution in simulation studies. In this paper, we propose a framework to systematically evaluate multicast performance for different protocols. We identify a series of metrics, and carry out extensive simulation studies on these metrics with different topological models and group member distributions for three case studies. Our simulation results indicate that realistic topology and group membership models are crucial to accurate multicast performance evaluation. These results can provide guidance for multicast researchers to perform realistic simulations, and facilitate the design and development of multicast …
