Many Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) establish tuition below the equilibrium price to generate permanent demand excess.This paper first adapts Becker’s Hoodie (1991) theory to understand why the HEIs price in this way.The fact that students are both consumers and inputs on the education production process gives rise to a market equilibrium w
Nanotechnology Promotes Genetic and Functional Modifications of Therapeutic T Cells Against Cancer
Abstract Growing experience with engineered chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)?T cells has revealed some of the challenges associated with developing patient?specific therapy.The promising clinical results obtained with CAR?T Playing Cards therapy nevertheless demonstrate the urgency of advancements to promote and expand its uses.There is indeed a nee
Structure Elucidation and Botanical Characterization of Diterpenes from a Specific Type of Bee Glue
Investigation of the single plant source bee glue type originating from Southern Australia resulted in the isolation and structure elucidation Stamping of major serrulatane diterpenes, novel 7,8,18-trihydroxyserrulat-14-ene (1), along with its oxidized product, 5,18-epoxyserrulat-14-en-7,8-dione (3) and known (18RS)-5,18-epoxyserrulat-14-en-8,18-di
Market integration and soil-transmitted helminth infection among the Shuar of Amazonian Ecuador.
BackgroundSoil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections have many negative health outcomes (e.g., diarrhea, nutritional deficiencies) that can also exacerbate poverty.These infections are generally highest among low-income populations, many of which are also undergoing market integration (MI; increased participation in a market-based economy).Yet the
Characterizing Flexoelectricity in Composite Material Using the Element-Free Galerkin Method
This study employs the Element-Free Galerkin method (EFG) to characterize flexoelectricity in a composite material.The presence of the strain gradient term in the Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) requires C 1 continuity to describe the electromechanical coupling.The use of quartic weight functions in the developed model fulfills this prerequis
