Based on individual price records collected for the computation of the Austrian CPI, average frequencies of price changes and durations of price spells are estimated to characterize price setting in Austria. Depending on the estimation method, prices are unchanged for 10 to 14 months on average....

In this paper a data set with price records collected for the computation of the Austrian CPI is used to estimate the average frequency of price changes and the duration of price spells to provide empirical evidence on the degree and characteristics of price rigidity in Austria. Depending on the...

Sound waves and acoustic energy generated by two identical TA (ThermoAcoustic) lasers were analyzed and studied. SPL (Sound Pressure Level) meters and microphones were employed to measure and study the sound waves at different distances from the openings of the TA laser pair for different laser...

In this paper, we numerically study the effect of channel block on the spiking temporal coherence and spatial synchronization on Hodgkin–Huxley (HH) neuron networks. It is found that under sodium CB the spike coherence is badly reduced, and the synchronization can, depending on the network...
