Large-Scale, Manipulative Field Tests Involving Cultured And Wild Juveniles Of The Soft-Shell Clam, Brian F. Beal

PREP Reports & Publications

A series of field experiments to assess the efficacy of enhancing intertidal areas with cultured clam (Mya arenaria L.) seed (mean shell length [SL] = 7-10 mm) was conducted at Willows Flat, Hampton, New Hampshire from November 2004 to May 2005 and from June - October 2005. The first trial examined the interactive effects of size of planting area (4, 8, 12, 18 m2) and predator deterrent netting (none, 4.2 mm, and 6.4 mm aperture [flexible, plastic netting]) on clam growth and survival at one intertidal location. The second trial examined the effect of predator deterrent netting on clam growth …

An Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (Art) For The Synthesis Of Three-Dimensional Models Of Particle Aggregates From Projective Representations, Daniel Jonathan Randall-Barrot

Theses and Dissertations

There exists considerable evidence that the shear behavior and flow behavior of granular materials is significantly dependent on particle morphology. However, quantification of this dependence is a challenging task owing to a dearth of quantitative models for describing particle shape and the difficulty of modeling angular particle assemblies. The situation becomes more complex when discrete element analyses of realistic 3-D particle shapes are required. The thesis attempts to address this problem by adapting the algebraic reconstruction technique (ART) to synthesize composite 3-D granular particles from statistically obtained 3-D shape descriptors of the particles in an aggregate mixture. This thesis extends …

Pengaruh Nilai Tukar Riil Terhadap Neraca Perdagangan Bilateral Indonesia: Kondisi Marshall-Lerner Dan Fenomena J-Curve, Jardine A Husman

Bulletin of Monetary Economics and Banking

The paper analyzes the Marshall-Lerner condition on Indonesian trade with its major trading partners. This study also investigates the existance of J-curve and covers the issue of the indirect pass-through effect, particularly the impact of the real exchange rate change on the Indonesian export performance.We apply the VECM model on the quarterly data of Indonesia and 8 of its trading partners, during the period of 1993:1-2004:4. The estimation result on the overall sample shows that the condition of Marshall-Lerner is satisfied, implying the rupiahs depreciation will increase the Indonesian export.

Phenomena Correlated To Stroke Patients With Pusher Syndrome, Hung-Che Wang, Ling-Fu Meng

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Stroke patients who cannot maintain a balanced sitting or standing position fall toward one specific side. There can be a strong tendency to actively use non-hemiplegic extremities to push the body away from the sound side. As well, patients may resist any attempt to correct their postures and finally fall toward the hemiplegic side. This falling asymmetry phenomenon has been termed ”Pusher syndrome.” The syndrome often occurs coincident with frequent lapses in consciousness, poor motor control, impaired sensory status, spatial neglect, and limited perceptual function. Recent observations have indicated that Pusher syndrome is strongly related to body orientation deficit and …

Pengaruh Perubahan Nilai Tukar Rupiah Terhadap Neraca Transaksi Berjalan Indonesia, Periode 1990.I – 2004.Ii (Kasus Indonesia - Amerika Serikat), Arintoko Arintoko, Faried Wijaya

Bulletin of Monetary Economics and Banking

This research investigates the effects of exchange rate change on the relative current account and real GDP in Indonesia to US. This research provides time series evidence for the period of first quarter of 1990 to second quarter of 2004 under flexibel exchange rate regimes. The analysis is based on a J-Curve theory. First, this research employs unit root, cointegration and Granger causality tests and summarizes the relationships between real exchange rate, the current account, and real GDP. Second, the standard theoretical explanation of the JCurve effect is used to motivate a vector autoregression(VAR) and error correction mechanism(ECM) analysis of …

Estimasi Nilai Tukar Rupiah Pasca-Krisis: Pendekatan Model Komposit, Jardine Ariena Husman

Bulletin of Monetary Economics and Banking

This paper examines the factors that determined the Indonesian rupiah against US dollar nominal exchange rate post crisis period. The effect of the oil prices and the interaction of supply and demand in the foreign exchange market are included as part of explanatory variables besides other fundamentals, using an Error Correction Model (ECM). The use of composite model that incorporates a number of familiar approaches in exchange rate determination is found to outperform the model based on one single approach in term of their forecast performance. The estimation results show that the increase in oil price will depreciate the rupiah …

Changing Perspectives On Exchange Rates: Theory And Policy Implications, Perry Warjiyo

Bulletin of Monetary Economics and Banking

This paper reviews theoretical and empirical perspectives pertaining to the nature and impacts of exchange rate movements on macroeconomic conditions, and their fundamental ramifications on macroeconomic and monetary policies. In particular, we show that, with increasing speed and scope of financial globalization and cross-border capital flows, the view on exchange rate has been changing from trade flows to financial asset views. Exchange rate movements have been exhibiting greater volatility beyond fundamentals and often deviate from equilibrium, driven by factors such as shifts in risk premia, investor preferences, as well as underlying economic and financial conditions. Policy implications from such a …

Winging Scapula Due To Traumatic Trapezius Muscle Disuse Atrophy: A Casereport, Tsung-Ching Lin, Cheng-Liang Chou, Chen-Ming Chiu, Tcho-Jen Liu, Rai-Chi Chan, Hong-Jen Chiou

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Winging scapula is uncommon clinically and easily ignored. It not only leads to a limited range of motion of the upper extremities, but impairs functional activity and body appearance as well. Many etiologies can induce winging scapula, including trauma, infection, iatrogenic injury, congenital abnormality, and the impairment of periscapular nerves, muscles, bones and joints. Traumatic winging scapula is often the result of long thoracic nerve, spinal accessory nerve, or dorsal scapula nerve stretch or compression, which causes weakness and atrophy of the serratus anterior muscle, trapezius muscle, or rhomboid muscle. Winging scapula due to disuse atrophy of the traumatic trapezius …

Central Pontine And Extrapontine Myelinolysis After Surgical Removal Of Pituitary Adenoma: A Casereport, Hui-Tai Yang, Yen-Hung Chang, Hung-Chih Hsu

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Central pontine myelinolysis(CPM) and extrapontine myelinolysis(EPM), sharing the same pathology, are the same disease, although different symptoms and signs developed according to different lesion sites. The etiology and pathogenesis of CPM/EPM remain unclear, meanwhile rapid correction of the serum sodium level for hyponatremic patient has proven to be one of the major causes of CPM/EPM. Therefore an appropriate correction of the sodium level could prevent the development of CPM/EPM. The incidence of hyponatremia after surgical removal of pituitary adenoma reported varies from 8.4% to 38.8%. Most patients with symptomatic hyponatremia after the surgery recovered without neurological deficits. Only three cases …

The Exit Structure Of Venture Capital, D. Gordon Smith

Faculty Scholarship

Venture capital contracts contain extensive provisions regulating exit by the venture capitalists. In this Article, Professor Smith employs financial contracting theory in conjunction with original data collected from 367 venture-backed companies to analyze these exit provisions. He concludes that the combination of exit provisions in a typical venture capital relationship serves to lock venture capitalists into the investment during the initial stage. In later stages of the relationship, the venture capitalists acquire increasing control over exit by securing additional seats on the board of directors and by obtaining contractual exit rights. The result is a sophisticated transfer of control from …
