Hedonic valuation of land protection methods: implications for cluster development. by Kling, Robert

“…The key findings of the study are: (i) proximity to national or state park land and to city or county open space has a significant positive impact on property values, while proximity to national forest land or to privately conserved land exhibits no significant effects; and, (ii) inclusion of a property within a cluster development decreases its value by 17 to 26 %. …”

Increased Levels of Circulating and Tumor-Infiltrating Granulocytic Myeloid Cells in Colorectal Cancer Patients by Salman M. Toor (8854751)

“…Flow cytometric analysis was performed to examine the expression of different myeloid markers in fresh peripheral blood samples from CRC patients and HDs, and tissue-infiltrating immune cells from CRC patients. We found significantly higher levels of cells expressing myeloid markers and lacking the expression of major histocompatibility complex class II molecule HLA-DR in blood and tumor of CRC patients. …”

Exendin-4 promotes GSIS without increasing β-cell number through upregulation of glucose-sensing apparatus and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation machinery genes in hPSC-deriv... by Abdoulaye Diane (14152749)

“…However, GSIS data showed no difference in c-peptide secretion between low (2.8mM) and high (20 mM) glucose but high response to direct cellular depolarization-mediated c-peptide by KCl; suggesting a lack of functional β-cells. Interestingly, addition of Exendin-4 (50 nM) during the last 3 days of the differentiation significantly enhanced GSIS associated with increased expression of glucose-sensing apparatus genes (Glut2, G6P2C, GCK) and genes encoding mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation machinery.…”

Competition, regulation, and systemic risk in dual banking systems by Ernaningsih, Indria

“…Utilizing a random effects panel model with robust errors and an unbalanced panel data set encompassing 80 IBs and 204 CBs from 17 emerging market countries spanning 2000 to 2019, we show that the lack of competition increases systemic risk exposure, which may stem from the interconnection channels and the individual bank risk contributions. …”
