Giffen Behavior: Theory and Evidence

This paper provides the first real-world evidence of Giffen behavior, i.e., upward sloping demand. Subsidizing the prices of dietary staples for extremely poor households in two provinces of China, we find strong evidence of Giffen behavior for rice in Hunan, and weaker evidence for wheat in Gansu. The data provide new insight into the consumption behavior of the poor, who act as though maximizing utility subject to subsistence concerns, with both demand and calorie elasticities depending significantly, and non-linearly, on the severity of their poverty. Understanding this heterogeneity is important for the effective design of welfare programs for the poor.

Hollow fiber clinostat for simulating microgravity in cell culture

A clinostat for simulating microgravity on cell systems carried in a fiber fixedly mounted in a rotatable culture vessel is disclosed. The clinostat is rotated horizontally along its longitudinal axis to simulate microgravity or vertically as a control response. Cells are injected into the fiber and the ends of the fiber are sealed and secured to spaced end pieces of a fiber holder assembly which consists of the end pieces, a hollow fiber, a culture vessel, and a tension spring with three alignment pins. The tension spring is positioned around the culture vessel with its ends abutting the end pieces for alignment of the spring. After the fiber is secured, the spring is decompressed to maintain tension on the fiber while it is being rotated. This assures that the fiber remains aligned along the axis of rotation. The fiber assembly is placed in the culture vessel and culture medium is added. The culture vessel is then inserted into the rotatable portion of the clinostat and subjected to rotate at selected rpms. The internal diameter of the hollow fiber determines the distance the cells are from the axis of rotation

Dorsally Derived Oligodendrocytes Come of Age

AbstractWhile oligodendrocyte precursors have previously been localized to the ventral midline, two papers in this issue of Neuron (Cai et al. and Vallstedt et al.) provide compelling evidence for a second dorsal origin of oligodendrocyte precursors in the spinal cord and hindbrain. These cells share expression of the PDGFα receptor and Olig2 with their ventral counterparts but differ in the requirement for Nkx6 and hedgehog signaling

Graham Greene: A Descriptive Catalog

English novelist, short-story writer, playwright and journalist, Graham Greene was one of the most widely read novelist of the 20th-century, a superb storyteller. Adventure and suspense are constant elements in his novels and many of his books have been made into successful films. Although Greene was nominated several times as a candidate for the Nobel Prize for Literature, he never received the award. Graham Greene is a descriptive catalog of first editions of works by Greene which are currently held in the collection of the University of Louisville. Robert H. Miller also includes letters, radio scripts, pamphlets, and subsequent editions of importance and scarcity. Robert H. Miller is professor of English at the University of Louisville. He is also the author of Understanding Graham Greene.https://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_english_language_and_literature_british_isles/1021/thumbnail.jp
