Inhibition of Axonal Growth by Brefeldin A in Hippocampal Neurons in Culture
No full textThe outgrowth of neuronal processes involves a great increase in the surface area of the cell. The supply of membrane material necessarily must be coordinated with the demands for neurite growth. The selective growth of only one or two neurites at any given time during the development of polarity raises the possibility that the production of materials by the soma is limiting for growth (Dotti and Banker, 1987; Dotti et al., 1988; Goslin and Banker, 1990). To examine the role of the availability of membrane components during the development of polarity and axonal elongation, we treated neurons with brefeldin A, an antibiotic that disrupts the trafficking of vesicles from the Golgi complex to the plasma membrane. Treatment with brefeldin A (1 μg/ml) inhibited axonal growth within 0.5 hr; in unpolarized cells it prevented the formation of an axon. These results indicate that the availability of membrane components of Golgi-derived vesicles is required for axonal growth and hence the development of polarity. Inhibitors of protein and RNA synthesis also blocked axonal growth and the development of polarity, but over a much slower time course. This suggests that the full complement of proteins and mRNAs required for the initial development of polarity is present for several hours before polarity is actually established

He is wearing a long polka-dot tie with tie-pin, light-colored shirt, and pin-stripe jacket. He has short white hair with a receding hairline. He has a short mustache. He is turned slightly to his left. He lived from 1852 to 1933.; Graves authored the book "My seventy years in California, 1857-1927"
The Mortgage Banker-Industrial Loan Company: A New Exempt Lender
No full textIn 1973, to alleviate the plight of commercial real estate lenders caught between the rising costs of making loans and the limitations on interest and charges, the California Legislature enacted legislation which authorized the formation of the mortgage banker-industrial loan company, a new entity intended to fall within the class of exempt lenders created by article XX, section 22 of the California Constitution. The author discusses the nature and formation of the mortgage banker-industrial loan company and addresses provisions which allow the mortgage banker-industrial loan company to make assignments or transfers to nonexempt lenders. In this discussion he concludes that while such operations are generally authorized by the legislation, the courts will not allow the new institution to act as a mere conduit, circumventing the distinction between classes of exempt and nonexempt lenders. Finally, the author discusses he constitutionality of the mortgage banker-industrial loan company, marshalling arguments that the institution is a valid subclass of the constitutionality exempt industrial loan company, that public policy considerations support an affirmative finding of constitutionality, and that the creation of the institution does not violate equal protection of the law
Broiler Farms' Organization, Management, and Performance
No full textThis study provides a comprehensive view of the organization, management, and financial performance of U.S. broiler farms. Using data from USDA's Agricultural Resource Management Study (ARMS, formerly known as the Farm Costs and Returns Survey), we examine farm size, financial structure, household income, management practices, and spousal participation in decision-making. We compare broiler operations with other farming enterprises and their earnings with that of the average U.S. household. Because most of the 7 billion broilers produced in the United States in 1995 were raised under contract, we also explore the use of contracts and the effects of contracting on the broiler sector.contracting, broilers, poultry, farm characteristics, farm income, farm operator characteristics, risk management strategies, Livestock Production/Industries,
HOW CONSERVATIVE DOES THE CENTRAL BANKER HAVE TO BE? ON THE TREATMENT OF EXPECTATIONS UNDER DISCRETIONARY POLICYMAKING
No full textThis paper explores an issue that arises in the delegation process. The paper shows that a myopic central banker, one who treats expectations as constant in setting discretionary policy, can replicate the behaviour of output and inflation under policy from a timeless perspective. For that to happen, society must delegate a price level target or a speed limit policy to a central banker who is more weight-conservative than society. Copyright 2009 The Author.

The Tale of Two research Communities: The Diffusion of Research on Productive Efficiency
No full textThe field of theoretical and applied efficiency analysis is pursued both by economists and people from operational research and management science. Each group tends to cite a different paper as the seminal one. Recent availability of extensive electronically accessible databases of journal articles makes studies of the diffusion of papers through citations possible. Research strands inspired by the seminal paper within economics are identified and followed by citation analysis during the 20 year period before the operations research paper was published. The first decade of the operations research paper is studied in a similar way and emerging differences in diffusion patterns are pointed out. Main factors influencing citations apart from the quality of the research contribution are reputation of journal, reputation of author, number of close followers; colleagues, “cadres of protégés”, Ph.D. students, and extent of network (“invisible college”). Such factors are revealed by the citing papers. In spite of increasing cross contacts between economics and operations research the last decades co-citation analysis reveals a relative constant tendency to stick to “own camp” references.Farrell efficiency measures, data envelopment analysis, DEA, bibliometry
Corporate Control and the Financial System in Germany: Recent Changes in the Role of Banks
No full textThe present paper aims to analyze the major changes in the German system of cross-holdings between banks and industrial or financial companies. After an overview on the role of banks in bank-based versus market-based financial systems, and on the German system of corporate control, we focus our attention on the relationship not only between banks and industrial companies, but also between financial companies in Germany. Discussing the reasons for cross-holdings within the financial sector, we hypothesize that cross-holdings are less efficient than full mergers. We analyze hypotheses about the structure of the "Deutschland AG" and about a different role of cross-holdings at different levels of the German financial system. A test of hypotheses on recent mergers and acquisitions in the German financial system yields that they explain some of the changes in the cross-holdings occurred after 1994. We conclude that instead of the often referred "Macht der Banken" the German financial system is characterized by an increasing importance of insurance companies.
