In the face of an alarmingly rising incidences of cancer and limited treatment options‚ physicians are being forced to look for treatments beyond the conventional ones. In such a scenario‚ Proton Therapy‚ the most advanced radiation technique available‚ is being projected as the Rolls Royce of Radiation Oncology. Unfortunately‚ access to proton therapy is limited for many patients due to the low number of proton therapy centers. Hence‚ many research institutes and hospitals are now investing in

depressing picture of India’s actual economic performance. In a study whose conclusions were to be expected‚ the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHDI) has revealed that an appropriate index of poverty (and deprivation) finds its incidence in India and elsewhere to be much greater than estimated by the controversy-dogged measures of “income poverty” that abound. Commissioned by the Human Development Report Office of the United Nations Development Programme to evolve a multi-dimensional

demolition These stages in the asbestos life-cycle happened (and are still happening) at different times‚ some are perhaps quite closely related and others far apart in time. In addition‚ the levels of exposure and hence the asbestos related disease incidence rate‚ latency period‚ etc. may vary. The following graph provides an illustration of the asbestos life cycle showing that the exposures in some stages (such as mining) are short but very intense but others (such as environmental exposures) are

paper we empirically examine the relationship of (1) risk assessments and (2) the extent of computerization of accounting systems to the incidence and magnitude of misstatements. The six largest public accounting firms in Norway provided misstatement data from 58 audits. The results show that inherent risk factors related to personnel issues are related to the incidence of misstatements at the financial statement level. These factors plus factors related to management integrity and prior period accounting

The study may conclude that‚ for some how‚ Pakistan’s macroeconomic indicators have significant long-run equilibrium with terrorism incidence. The result of Granger causality indicates that except unemployment‚ all other macroeconomic indicators have unidirectional causality with terrorism incidence. Unemployment has a bi-directional

tax is imposed on a product it affects both consumers and producers. Part of the tax is paid by consumers and another part is paid by producers. The tax burden is shared between the two. The burden of a tax is referred to as tax incidence. The allocation of the incidence‚ or who has a larger or smaller burden‚ depends on the price elasticity of demand.Price elasticity of demand (PED) is a measure of the responsiveness of the quantity of a good demanded to changes in its price. Demand is price inelastic
