A BRIEF GUIDE TO THE ANATOMICAL DISSECTION OF THE STOMACH

The purpose of this article is to write a short guide on the macroscopic anatomy of the stomach, describing its structures, its relationships within the abdominal cavity and the dissection methods used during the internship performed by a group of students from the University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy, at the University of Malta, Msida, Malta, during the summer of 2018. Indeed,, they had the opportunity to spend a period of two weeks at the department of Anatomy in the Maltese University for studying and practining on some corpses, with the aim of improving their anatomical knowledge

Minimum wage effects on hours, employment, and number of firms: The iowa case

V. Conclusions Our results show that minimum wages reduce employment opportunities for workers. Like the early studies, our county-level (more aggregate) estimates imply fairly modest impacts with elasticities of approximately -0.1. However, our firm-level estimates for subminimum workers imply much more elastic responses. In particular, hours elasticities are in the elastic range

Economic Analysis of Knowledge: The History of Thought and the Central Themes

Following the development of knowledge economies, there has been a rapid expansion of economic analysis of knowledge, both in the context of technological knowledge in particular and the decision theory in general. This paper surveys this literature by identifying the main themes and contributions and outlines the future prospects of the discipline. The wide scope of knowledge related questions in terms of applicability and alternative approaches has led to the fragmentation of research. Nevertheless, one can identify a continuing tradition which analyses various aspects of the generation, dissemination and use of knowledge in the economy

On Netflix catalog dynamics and caching performance

Multimedia streaming applications have substantially changed the market policy of an increasing number ofcontent providers that offer streaming services to the users. Theneed for effective video content delivery re-fueled interest forcaching: since the Web-like workload of the 90s are not longerfit to describe the new Web of videos, in this work we investigatethe suitability of the publicly available Netflix dataset for cachingstudies. Our analysis shows that, as the dataset continuouslyevolves (i) a steady state description is not statistically meaningfuland (ii) despite the cache hit ratio decreases due to the growthof active movies in the catalog, simple caching replacementapproaches are close to the optimum given the growing skewin the popularity distribution over the time. Additionally, wepoint out that, since the dataset reports logs of movie ratings,anomalies arise when ratings are considered to be movie views.At the same time, we show anomalies yield conservative cachingresults, that reinforces the soundness of our study
