This study explores the adjustment process of capital structure using dynamic model, by which capital structures are adjusted towards optimal level, and cost of adjustment has impacts on dynamic adjustment speed of capital structure.Adjustment speed within a trikes range of [0;1] shows an evidence for adjustment and partial adjustment behaviors of
Immunostimulation of Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) blood cells by parapoxvirus ovis and CpG motif-containing bacterial plasmid DNA upregulates innate immune gene expression
The immune system of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) is poorly studied, compared to that of livestock, rodents or humans.The innate immune response has become a focus of interest in relation to Elephant endotheliotropic herpesviruses (EEHVs).EEHVs cause a fatal hemorrhagic disease (EEHV-HD) and are a significant threat to captive Asian elephant p
Performance Analysis of a Forecasting Relocation Model for One-Way Carsharing
A carsharing service can be seen as a transport alternative between private and public transport that enables a group of people to share vehicles based at certain stations.The advanced carsharing service, one-way carsharing, enables customers to return the car to another station.However, one-way implementation generates an imbalanced distribution o
Challenging institutions: Getting goods or getting your own institution?
I present a discussion of the current state of liberal internationalism as it relates to international organisations.I maintain that the literature focuses too much on liberal internationalism instead of non-liberal internationalism.This is problematic because non-liberal states are increasingly becoming important players in the international syste
Ehrlichia canis in dogs experimentally infected, treated, and then immune suppressed during the acute or subclinical phases
Abstract Background Concerns for recrudescence of Ehrlichia canis infection arise when immunosuppressive drugs are used to treat immune?mediated diseases in dogs previously infected with E.canis.Objectives Determine whether administration of prednisolone and cyclosporine would reactivate E.canis infection in dogs previously treated with doxycycline
