BOX-COX TRANSFORMATIONS AND ERROR TERM SPECIFICATION IN DEMAND MODELS
No full textThis paper analyzes the influence of error-term specification and functional form on a quarterly demand model for beef. The Box-Cox transformation is used to generalize the functional form while the equation error term is postulated to be both heteroskedastic and autoregressive. Results indicated that both functional form and error-term specification can play a major role in elasticity estimation, elasticity behavior, and hypothesis testing.Demand and Price Analysis,
THE IMPACT OF EQUIVALENCE SCALES ON THE ANALYSIS OF INCOME AND FOOD SPENDING DISTRIBUTIONS
No full textThis article examines the effects of different income and food spending adult equivalence scales on estimated expenditure elasticities, on the demographic characteristics of the rich and poor, and on the percentage of household income spent on food by various income quintiles. Empirical results are found to be heavily influenced by the choice of equivalence scales. For example, elasticities varied by over 300%, and the demographic characteristics of the poor varied greatly.Consumer/Household Economics, Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety,
Some results on e-genericity and recursively enumerable weak truth table degrees
No full textIn this manuscript we explore two topics in recursion theory and their interaction.The first topic is e-genericity, a notion of genericity for recursively enumerable (r.e.) sets introduced by C. G. Jockusch, Jr. The second is weak truth table reducibility (w-reducibility), a strong reducibility (i.e., stronger than the most general Turing reducibility) first introduced by Friedberg and Rogers. In Chapter 1 we give a brief introduction to these topics and establish the relevant terminology and notation.In Chapter 2 we give some closure and non-closure properties for the classes of e-generic sets and degrees, which are predicted by analogous results for previous notions of genericity. For example, the e-generic sets are not closed under union, intersection, or join, but on the other hand if the join of two sets is e-generic, then so are , and .In Chapter 3 we investigate the structure of the weak truth table degrees (w-degrees) inside an e-generic Turing degree. Here we show that e-generic Turing degrees are highly noncontiguous in the sense that they contain no greatest and no least r.e. w-degree.Finally in Chapter 4 we obtain some results on the ordering of the r.e. w-degrees in general. The main result is the existence of a nontrivial r.e. w-degree a which has a greatest lower bound with every r.e. w-degree b. We also show that these nontrivial completely cappable degrees can neither be low nor promptly simple.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T13:41:37Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 2

Pentamidine isethionate reduces Ia expression and antigen presentation by Langerhans cells and inhibits the contact hypersensitivity reaction
No full textThe mechanism of action of pentamidine isethionate, a diamidino compound used in the treatment of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, is unknown. We recently reported that this drug may inhibit the release of inflammatory mediators from alveolar macrophages, which may be associated with its antiparasite activity. As a potential anti-inflammatory agent, we report that topically applied pentamidine reduces ear swelling in the contact hypersensitivity reaction to oxazolone in B6C3F1 mice. The application of pentamidine must occur within 1 h, at the challenge site, to be effective. Topical application appears necessary, because i.v. injection had no effect on reduction of ear swelling. In dose-response studies, a 50% reduction in ear swelling was achieved with as little as 20 μg of pentamidine. Pentamidine did not affect Ag transport from the challenge site to the draining lymph nodes, as measured by FITC transport. However, there was a 30 to 40% reduction in epidermal cells expressing Ia Ag from pentamidine-treated mouse ears, compared with control. Ia expression is almost exclusively limited to Langerhans cells in the normal epidermis. This reduction in Ia expression was not due to simple depletion of Langerhans cells by pentamidine, because CD45 expression was unaffected. Concurrent with reduced Ia expression, Ag presentation by pentamidine-treated Langerhans cells was also reduced. Taken together, a mechanism of action for pentamidine in inhibition of the contact hypersensitivity reaction appears to be via a reduction in Ag presentation by decreasing Ia+ Langerhans cells
