Usefulness of 2D shear wave elastography for the evaluation of hepatic fibrosis and treatment response in patients with autoimmune hepatitis [PDF]
Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine the usefulness of two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D SWE) in the assessment of liver stiffness (LS) and dispersion slope (DS) to evaluate hepatic fibrosis and the treatment response in patients ...

Good Dispersion, Bad Dispersion [PDF]
Abstract We document that most dispersion in marginal revenue products of inputs occurs across plants within firms rather than between firms. This is commonly thought to reflect misallocation: dispersion is “bad”. However, we show that eliminating frictions hampering internal capital markets in a multi-plant firm model may in fact ...

Dispersion measures and dispersive orderings [PDF]
In this paper, the comparison of random variables according to the functionals of a general class of dispersion measures is characterized in terms of the dilation order. The Gini's mean difference is a particular member of this general class. In addition, a new and weaker order, called the second-order absolute Lorenz ordering, is introduced, and we ...

Bacterial biofilms are major contributors to chronic infections in humans. Because they are recalcitrant to conventional therapy, they present a particularly difficult treatment challenge.

Coal dust dispersion from a coal storage pile [PDF]
Open coal storage piling is considered as pollution concerned activity because when the air is dry and windy, the coal dust can disperse and cover large area causing air pollution. Knowing in advance the concentration and area affected by the coal dust

A Relationship between Nuclear Black Hole Mass and Galaxy Velocity Dispersion [PDF]
We describe a correlation between the mass Mbh of a galaxy's central black hole and the luminosity-weighted line-of-sight velocity dispersion σe within the half-light radius.

The Slope of the Black Hole Mass versus Velocity Dispersion Correlation [PDF]
Observations of nearby galaxies reveal a strong correlation between the mass of the central dark object MBH and the velocity dispersion σ of the host galaxy, of the form log(MBH/M☉) = α + β log(σ/σ0); however, published estimates of the slope β span a ...

We model firm pricing given consumers follow simple reservation price rules. Such reservation rules are rational when consumers are sufficiently impatient. The equilibrium exhibits price dispersion in pure strategies, with lower price firms earning higher profits.

Investigation of vegetation effects on radionuclide dispersion
In this study, we analyzed a region where accidentally released radionuclides were affected by the surrounding vegetation. A radioactive leakage accident affecting shelterbelts located on both sides of a road was selected for modeling.

Moderated estimation of fold change and dispersion for RNA-seq data with DESeq2
In comparative high-throughput sequencing assays, a fundamental task is the analysis of count data, such as read counts per gene in RNA-seq, for evidence of systematic changes across experimental conditions.
