sheet data in order to investigate the determinants of individual credit fluctuations (see for instance Kashyap and Stein, 1995; Ehrmann et al., 2001). These studies have highlighted the impact of several banks’ characteristics, such as total assets’ size, capitalization and liquidity ratios, on a differentiated response of bank loans to monetary policy shocks. Typically, the traditional bank lending channel of monetary policy transmission appears then to be stronger for small, poorly capitalized and/or

third chapter offers “A quantitative analysis of rural livelihood profiles” that prevail in the Rwandan rural post-conflict context. The fourth chapter focuses particularly upon the land resource, to conclude to an “inverse relationship between farm size and productivity”. This finding is of particular relevance in the current context, given that policy makers aim to depart from small-scale farming. The fifth chapter considers the “Views from below on the pro-poor growth challenge”. It adopts a qualitative

(labeled by i) in which measurements were actually made. Measurements made along different axes in this new basis are uncorrelated. The eigenvalues are, by definition, the variance of the sample along the corresponding axes. The eigenvectors with the largest eigenvalues account for the greatest variation in the sample. In many cases the first few eigenvalues are much larger than the rest. In such situations the corresponding eigenvectors might represent important physical quantities, while the rest are

Hgtotal, respectively). The highest [Hg]organs / [Hg]muscle ratios were observed for the liver and kidneys, the two principal target organs for inorganic Hg in fish. On the other hand, the piscivorous species ingest a large amount of fish of varying size, with high MMHg percentages in their muscle tissue (nearly 80%); Hg organotropism is characterized by high MMHg concentrations in the skeletal muscle and comparatively low [Hg]organs / [Hg]muscle ratios.

Indian and China. Our strategy is to anticipate the modes (summer and winter) to satisfy our buyer and propose them perfect garments according to their needs. So first we ask to our suppliers if they can do the product and if they can develop samples to show to our buyers. After this step we must agree on price, on payment condition, on delivery date between buyer and supplier. We make no marketing and no advertising, we have a lot of buyers and they are sufficient for us. We are never looking

study of the approach of oxygen diffusion in Soda-Lima-Silica glasses which are coloured by iron and manganese. Analysis was performed from representative for several times of baking in the furnace before being cooled and annealed. The colour of the samples is very sensitive to the conditions in which the glass is made. The effect of time is studied in this project. Some studies have already been made for some colouring agents, but numerical data are lacking for many materials. From values obtained from

punch (4 mm diameter, Kai medical, Gifu City, Japan). Two round shape wounds on the dorsum, below the shoulder blades of each mouse were made to avoid self-licking. 2.3. Harvesting. Mice were sacrificed with an overdose of ethyl ether to gather tissue samples at the wound site. Each wound site at 0, 24, 48, and 72 hours (hr) after wounding and at end point was harvested by a cutting area that covered the entire wound site. 2.4. Malondialdehyde Measurement. Levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured
