A Closer Look at Long Run Money Demand
No full textWe study annual United States data from 1869 or 1900 to 1999. We find evidence for a well-specified and stable model of money demand with data from 1946 to 1999. We carry out diagnostic and stability tests, including nonlinearity tests. A linear cointegration model with the monetary base performs better than a model with M1. A specification with M2 is not supported. We use real GNP as the scale variable and a short term interest rate as the opportunity cost measure. We estimate an income elasticity of .86 and an interest rate elasticity of -.44 for the monetary base.

Global existence of small solutions for quadratic quasilinear Klein–Gordon systems in two space dimensions
No full textAbstractConsider a quasi-linear system of two Klein–Gordon equations with masses m1, m2. We prove that when m1≠2m2 and m2≠2m1, such a system has global solutions for small, smooth, compactly supported Cauchy data. This extends a result proved by Sunagawa (J. Differential Equations 192 (2) (2003) 308) in the semi-linear case. Moreover, we show that global existence holds true also when m1=2m2 and a convenient null condition is satisfied by the nonlinearities
Random walk and <i>SU</i>(2) Clebsch–Gordon coefficients
No full text This article contains a new interpretation of the values of the SU(2) Clebsch–Gordon coefficients (CGC). It is shown that a given CGC C(l1,l2,l;m1,m2,m) can be understood as a transition function for a random walk on a two dimensional lattice between the origin and the point (m1,m2) in l1 + l2 + l steps. This interpretation is based on the generating function for the CGC which has previously been shown to be a rich and concise source of information on the CGC. </jats:p
IgG-based probe for visualizing M1 Mφ-infiltrated atherosclerotic plaques
No full textPurpose: Vulnerable plaques are key factors for ischemic diseases. Thus, their precise detection is necessary for the diagnosis of such diseases. Immunoglobulin G (IgG)-based imaging probes have been developed for imaging biomolecules related to plaque formation for the diagnosis of atherosclerosis. However, IgG accumulates nonspecifically in atherosclerotic regions, and its accumulation mechanisms have not yet been clarified in detail. Therefore, we explored IgG accumulation mechanisms in atherosclerotic lesions and examined images of radiolabeled IgG for the diagnosis of atherosclerosis. Procedures: Mouse IgG without specificity to biomolecules was labeled with technetium-99m via 6-hydrazinonicotinate to yield [99mTc]IgG. ApoE-/- or C57BL/6J mice were injected intravenously with [99mTc]IgG, and their aortas were excised 24 h after injection. After radioactivity measurement, serial aortic sections were autoradiographically and histopathologically examined. RAW264.7 macrophages were polarized into M1 or M2 and then treated with [99mTc]IgG. The radioactivities in the cells were measured after 1 h of incubation. [99mTc]IgG uptake in M1 macrophages was also evaluated after the pretreatment with an anti-Fcγ receptor (FcγR) antibody. The expression levels of FcγRs in the cells were measured by western blot analysis. Results: [99mTc]IgG accumulation levels in the aortas were significantly higher in apoE-/- mice than in C57BL/6J mice (5.1 ± 1.4 vs 2.8 ± 0.5 %ID/g, p < 0.05). Autoradiographic images showed that the accumulation areas highly correlated with the macrophage-infiltrated areas. M1 macrophages showed significantly higher levels of [99mTc]IgG than M2 or M0 (nonpolarized) macrophages [2.2 ± 0.3 (M1) vs 0.5 ± 0.1 (M2), 0.4 ± 0.1 (M0) %dose/mg protein, p < 0.01] and higher expression levels of FcγRI and FcγRII. [99mTc]IgG accumulation in M1 macrophages was suppressed by pretreatment with the anti-FcγR antibody [2.2 ± 0.3 (nonpretreatment) vs 1.2 ± 0.2 (pretreatment) %ID/mg protein, p < 0.01]. Conclusions: IgG accumulated in pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages via FcγRs in atherosclerotic lesions. Thus, the target biomolecule-independent imaging of active inflammation should be taken into account in the diagnosis of atherosclerosis using IgG-based probes

MULTIRANK COINTEGRATION ANALYSIS OF TURKISH M1 MONEY DEMAND (1987Q1-2006Q3)
No full textIn our paper, we employ multivariate cointegration analysis to the Turkish M1 narrow money demand. The ex-post estimation results reveal that it is possible to identify a money demand vector in the cointegrating space as a priori hypothesized through economics theory. But some structural break points and parameter instabilities coincided with post-1994 economic crisis period and 2000-stabilization program cast some doubt upon whether the estimated model can represent all the period under investigation. Besides, a second potential vector found in the long-run variable space has been decomposed to reconcile it with excess aggregate demand reacting to the domestic inflation.Money Demand, Aggregate Demand, Turkish Economy, Cointegration,Identification, Super Exogeneity, Structural Breaks, Economic Policy
