Which survey indicators are useful for monitoring consumption? Evidence from European countries

This paper assesses the information content of two survey indicators for consumption developments in the near future for eight European countries in the period 1985–1998. Empirical work on this topic typically focuses on consumer confidence, the perceptions of buyers of consumption goods. This paper examines whether perceptions of sellers of consumption goods, measured by retail trade surveys, may also improve short‐term monitoring of consumption. We find that both consumer confidence and retailer confidence embody valuable information, when analysed in isolation. For France, Italy and Spain we conclude that adding retail confidence does not improve the indicator model once consumer confidence has been included. For the UK the reverse case is obtained. For the remaining four countries we show that combining consumer sentiment and retail trade confidence into a composite indicator leads to optimal results. Our results suggest that incorporating information from retail trade surveys may offer significant benefits for the analysis of short‐term prospects of consumption.

Timed bromocriptine administration reduces body fat stores in obese subjects and hyperglycemia in type II diabetics.

Obese postmenopausal female volunteers were given timed daily oral dosages of bromocriptine, and tested for reduction of body fat stores. This dopamine agonist has been shown to reset circadian rhythms that are altered in obese animals and to reduce body fat levels in several animal models. The participants were instructed not to alter their existing exercise and eating behavior during treatment. Skinfold measurements were taken on 33 subjects as indices of body fat. The measurements (e.g., suprailiac) were reduced after six weeks by about 25%, which represents a reduction of 11.7% of the total body fat. These dramatic decreases in body fat, which are equivalent to that produced by severe caloric restriction, were accompanied by more modest reductions of body weight (2.5%), indicating a possible conservation of protein that is usually lost as a consequence of such caloric restriction. The effects of bromocriptine treatment on body fat and hyperglycemia were also examined in non-insulin dependent diabetics being treated with oral hypoglycemics (7 subjects) or insulin (7 subjects). Total body fat was reduced by 10.7% and 5.1% in diabetics on oral hypoglycemics and insulin, respectively, without any significant reductions in body weight. Hyperglycemia was reduced in most of the 15 diabetic subjects treated leading to euglycemia and even cessation of hypoglycemic drugs in 3 of the 7 subjects during 4-8 weeks of bromocriptine treatment. These findings support the hypothesis that obesity and type II diabetes may be treated effectively with bromocriptine when administered at the proper times and dosages.

磷酸钙催化剂上二异丁基乙缩醛裂解法合成乙烯基异丁醚的研究

研究了在磷酸钙催化剂上二异丁基乙缩醛裂解制乙烯基异丁醚反应的活性和选择性，其中较好的催化剂是在500度焙烧的Ca3(PO4)2(1)。考察了工艺条件对反应结果的影响，表明在反应温度约300度，缩醛的LHSV＝1．0h^-1时得到最佳反应结果：转化率约98．6％，选择性接近100％，用TPD法测定了催化剂表面的酸度和碱度，并与活性和选择性进行了关联。     

用钼蓝反应动力学方法作微量磷的分光光度测定

提出用ｄ－葡萄糖试剂做钼蓝反应的还原剂测定磷的动力学方法。用吸光度监测反应速度，用假一级反应的关系式测定了反应速度与磷浓度的线性范围为０．６～２．５μｇ／ｍＬ。用内标法计算五种土壤样品中的含磷量，分析结果与常规方法比较，符合程度令人满意。
