Evaluation of new diagnostic and treatment strategies in the management of the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
No full textIncludes bibliography.Despite major advances over the last two decades with the management of patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES), unanswered questions remain concerning the natural history of the disease, the impact of new diagnostics modalities on cure rates, and the role of surgery in the era of modem medical therapies. The aims of the thesis are to (i) analyse the database of 40 ZES patients treated at Groote Schuur Hospital (GSH) over two decades, with special reference to the impact of various surgical strategies on outcome, (ii) investigate a possible correlation between biological tissue marker expression and tumour behaviour, (iii) study the effect of somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) on surgical cure rates, and (iv) assess the efficacy and safety of a new proton pump inhibitor (pantoprazole) in controlling acid hypersecretion

Ellison, Fanon and Guerrilla War
No full text“Ellison, Fanon and Guerrilla War” shows the close interrelationship between writers and intellectuals of African descent in spite of enormous differences of geographic position and social status. The essay shows the shared body of concerns, the community of texts used for analysis, and the development of the terms and strategies to disable the alienation of the African subject in the West. The community of shared interests between the two men, who both published major works in 1952, is considerably strengthened after the discovery of early drafts of Ellison’s novel which show a thoroughgoing interest with decolonization and the use of violence as a strategy for disalienation.«Ellison, Fanon and Guerrilla War » se propose d’étudier ce qui relie Ellison à Fanon, écrivains et intellectuels d’origine africaine, et ce, en dépit d’importantes différences d’ordre géographique et social. L ’article analyse les préoccupations qu ’ils avaient en commun, les textes qui ont nourri leurs réflexions et s ’intéresse aussi à leur définition évolutive d’une stratégie de désaliénation du sujet africain en Occident. Entre ces deux hommes, qui publièrent tous deux des œuvres majeures en 1952, se dessine une communauté d’intérêts qui se révèle primordiale avec la découverte des premières épreuves du roman d ’Ellison, où celui-ci porte une attention toute particulière à la décolonisation et à la violence comme instrument de la désaliénation.Jackson Lawrence.

EMUE-D2-3-TSPConcentration
No full textConformity assessment of mass concentration of total suspended particulate matter in air.
The example shows how to calculate risks of false decisions in the conformity assessment of test results, according to the framework of JCGM 106:2008, in the case in which a normal distribution is not a valid assumption for modelling prior information on the measurand. As a case study, test results of mass concentration of Total Suspended Particulate Matter (TSPM) in ambient air, collected in the proximity of three stone quarries located in Israel, are considered; for each quarry, a log-normal distribution is chosen as the prior distribution.

Unusual metal abundances in a pair of damped Lyman alpha systems at
No full textIn Table 2 of Ellison & Lopez (2001) the value of [Si/H] in DLA A
should be -1.04. Although the subsequent [Si/Fe] is typical of other
DLAs, a low ratio of α/Fe is still supported by [S/Fe],
compared with other systems in the literature. The moderate [Si/Fe] ratio
could therefore be due to a modest amount of dust depletion, as supported
by [Zn/Cr] = 0.18. If dust is present, this would further decrease
the already low [S/Fe] in DLA A.
Therefore, despite the revised value of [Si/Fe] in DLA A,
these results are still supportive of low α/Fe in this double
DLA

An Empirical Analysis of Agglomeration Effect in the Japanese Food Industry -Panel Analysis Using Flexible Translog Production Function-
No full textIn this paper, we examine the existence of agglomeration effect on production in the Japanese food industry from 1985 to 2000 using plant-level 4-digit subclassification, panel dataset and new agglomeration index in Akune and Tokunaga (2005), and Tokunaga, Kageyama, and Akune (2005), based on Ellison and Glaeser (1997). This is an improvement on the the conventional indices such as Location Quotient (LQ) or Location Gini Coefficient (L).When we apply a flexible translog production function and cost share equation as suggested by Kim (1992), we find that around 2% of positive agglomeration effect exists in absence of any restriction on homotheticity in the the case of employment based agglomeration (Gamma EG ).Agglomeration, Japanese food industry, Panel data analysis, Flexible translog production functions, Agribusiness, R12, R3, Q59,
An Unusual Presentation of Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome
No full textAbstract
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is an often progressive, persistent and frequently life-threatening disease, described for the first time as characterized by ulceration of the upper jejunum, hypersecretion of gastric acid and non-beta islet cell tumors of the pancreas; this syndrome is due to the hypersecretion of gastrin. We report a case of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome presenting as severe esophagitis evolving in stenosis, which demonstrates how a delayed diagnosis may induce risk of disease spreading. In this setting new diagnostic approaches, such as somatostatin receptor scanning and positron emission tomography with 68 Ga-labeled octreotide, could be particularly useful, as well as further new therapeutic options, such as molecular targeted treatments and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy, though surgery is currently the only form of curative treatment, and the role of the therapeutic options mentioned needs to be clarified by forthcoming studie
Knife Edge of Plateau: When Do Market Models Tip?
No full textThis paper studies whether agents must agglomerate at a single location in a class of models of two-sided interaction. In these models there is an increasing returns effect that favors agglomeration, but also a crowding or market-impact effect that makes agents prefer to be in a market with fewer agents of their own type. We show that such models do not tip in the way the term is commonly used. Instead, they have a broad plateau of equilibria with two active markets, and tipping occurs only when one market is below a critical size threshold. Our assumptions are fairly weak, and are satisfied in Krugman's [1991b] model of labor market pooling, a heterogeneous-agent version of Pagano's [1989] asset market model, and Ellison, Fudenberg and M”bius's [2002] model of competing auctions.
