While a shortening of investor time horizons may be a rational (and perhaps even optimal) response, it is unclear that the same is true for the effect of market impatience on firms.
However, we found that 80% also looks reasonable, and arguably even optimal, on our simulated datasets where the true answers are known.
However, the prism of 1948, when the Palestinians were dispossessed, has distorted so many things in the Middle East that it is with little imagination that Arab states and societies tend to address such fundamental issues as democracy, sovereignty, the perils of overmilitarization, relations with the United States and, even, the optimal pursuit of national interests.
Untreated bacterial meningitis almost always results in death, and even with optimal treatment death and morbidity can occur [ 4].
The mortality rate of untreated bacterial meningitis approaches 100%% and, even with optimal therapy, morbidity and mortality may occur [ 2, 3].
These different inclusion criteria may have yielded different sensitivity, specificity, and even higher optimal cut-off value for DNI in our results.
However, particularly in elderly patients and even with optimal interventions, the combination of CHF, coronary heart disease, valvular heart disease and other non-cardiac comorbidities is associated with poor prognosis.
This highlights the need for systematic pathologic examination of the aorta, if surgically feasible, even in daily practice involving an unselected population (older patients with classical risk factors for aortic aneurysm such as hypertension), and even if optimal treatment for active aortitis has yet to be defined.
This is not wholly surprising since in order to get reconstituted native-banded fibrils, the pH and ionic strength of the buffer is critical and even under optimal conditions in vitro reconstituted fibrils are not quite as well ordered as fibrils formed in vivo [47].
