Consumption-Based Asset Pricing Models

A major research initiative in finance focuses on the determinants of the cross-sectional and time series properties of asset returns. With that objective in mind, asset pricing models have been developed, starting with the capital asset pricing models of Sharpe (1964), Lintner (1965), and Mossin (1966). Consumption-based asset pricing models use marginal rates of substitution to determine the relative prices of the date, event-contingent, composite consumption good. This model class is characterized by a stochastic discount factor process that puts restrictions on the joint process of asset returns and per capita consumption. This review takes a critical look at this class of models and their inability to rationalize the statistics that have characterized US financial markets over the past century. The intuition behind the discrepancy between model prediction and empirical data is explained. Finally, the research efforts to enhance the model's ability to replicate the empirical data are summarized.

Worldwide unique biofeedback system for non-invasive vertigo therapy and fall prevention

Vertigo (dizziness) is the second most common symptom in medicine, causing 30% of all people worldwide to be treated at least once in their lifetime. It is caused by a disturbance of the balance organ in our inner ear and has a significant impact on our everyday life, making many activities very hard or even impossible. However, through effective balance training, the human brain is capable to compensate for the wrong sensory information and can ultimately overcome vertigo.
Unfortunately, current treatment options show severe shortcomings regarding costs, availability, and effectiveness of training. To overcome this problem, GED has developed EQUIVert. EQUIVert is the personal balance trainer for the home and professional use. It is a headphone with integrated position sensor and gesture control. It provides real-time acoustic biofeedback through sound to give the user conscious access to the otherwise unconscious combination of balance and depth sensitivity.
EQUIVert is a complete system and ready to use. All exercises and training programmes are already preinstalled in the audio guide and it dynamically adapts the exercises to training progress and individual form. The major benefits for the users are the low purchase price, the effectiveness of the training, the ease of use, and the possibility to train anytime and anywhere.
With over 100 million potential patients in Europe and the US, of which most are not or not properly treated right now, EQUIVert has a huge market creating potential. GED is planning a parallel market introduction, addressing private patients with an individual training device and healthcare physicians with a diagnosis support device. Following the already ongoing registration as medical device, EQUIVert will initially be introduced into the Central European market, shortly followed by an expansion across Europe and the US. A total of 22 new employees and an accumulated turnover of EUR 16 million is foreseen until the end of 2024.

Different Goals of the Same Society

What will be the image of a society, if we consider it in the context of life plans of its citizens? How strong is the social commitment to achieve greater well-being through the implementation of life goals in the society? The results of the study show that only 52% of Russians have a conscious and realizable life goals, while the other part of society does not set any life goals for the future. The identified proportions of the population with utilitarian, idealistic and mixed goals, based on the criterion of connection with material consumption and orientation on themselves or onto others are estimated. It is shown that subjectively expected income growth associated with the implementation of utilitarian and mixed life goals is comparable with the average income in Russia. The contribution of individuals’ social status components and self-evaluation of the past achievements to the differentiation of the population by the presence / absence of goals, idealistic and utilitarian nature of goals, by the social nature of the lack of goals is measured. The survey was carried out on the basis of a representative sampling for the Russian Federation, taking into account proportions of the population aged 18 and above, respondents’ gender, types of settlement, social and professional groups, quotas except rural population in 2017. The overall size of sampling is 700.
Evaluation on Relevance of Factors Affected to Seam Gas Content in Daning-Jixian Area

In order to determine primary factors affected to the difference distribution of the seam gas content in No.5 seam in Daning-Jixian Area,based on the geological factors affected to the comprehensive selected gas content,a grey relevant analysis method was applied to quantitatively analyze the influence degree of each geological factor affected to the gas content distribution.The results showed that the relevance degree of each influence factor and gas content was 0.512 55~0.843 29 and was over 0.5.Among those,the relevance degree of the underground water mine ralization was max and the relevance of the other factors would be less different.The results showed that the primary geological factors in the area would be favorable to the formation of the No.5 seam high gas features,the primary factors of the gas content difference distribution would be the hydrogeology conditions under the structure role control and the control role of the other factors would not be obvious.
How can bedside rationing be justified despite coexisting inefficiency? The need for ‘benchmarks of efficiency’

Imperfect efficiency in healthcare delivery is sometimes given as a justification for refusing to ration or even discuss how to pursue fair rationing. This paper aims to clarify the relationship between inefficiency and rationing, and the conditions under which bedside rationing can be justified despite coexisting inefficiency. This paper first clarifies several assumptions that underlie the classification of a clinical practice as being inefficient. We then suggest that rationing is difficult to justify in circumstances where the rationing agent is or should be aware of and contributes to clinical inefficiency. We further explain the different ethical implications of this suggestion for rationing decisions made by clinicians. We argue that rationing is more legitimate when sufficient efforts are undertaken to decrease inefficiency in parallel with efforts to pursue unavoidable but fair rationing. While the qualifier ‘sufficient’ is crucial here, we explain why ‘sufficient efforts’ should be translated into ‘benchmarks of efficiency’ that address specific healthcare activities where clinical inefficiency can be decreased. Referring to recent consensus papers, we consider some examples of specific clinical situations where improving clinical inefficiency has been recommended and consider how benchmarks for efficiency might apply. These benchmarks should state explicitly how much inefficiency shall be reduced in a reasonable time range and why these efforts are ‘sufficient’. Possible strategies for adherence to benchmarks are offered to address the possibility of non-compliance.

The magnetic viscoelastic elastomer has a region having a non-magnetic property between the first and the second magnetic cores.
IMPROVED MEDIA APPLICATION

A method and apparatus are provided which include providing a rotatable roller with a cylindrical surface adapted to wrap the donor element on the surface. A donor element is secured to the roller and a first portion of the donor element is wrapped onto the cylindrical surface while applying tension to the media. The tension is then decreased to alter a region of contact between the first portion of the donor element and the cylindrical surface. An additional portion of the donor element is then wrapped onto the cylindrical surface. The donor element is then transferred from the roller to a substrate.
A Compensation Method of Dynamic Voltage Sag Based on SMES

In order to reduce the DVR manufacturing cost, we had better expand the range of the DVR compensation as far as possible in a certain energy storage capacity under the restricted condition of maximum output compensation voltage of the device. This paper adopted a fast- detection method in which the single-phase voltage is delayed 60ºso as to structure the virtual three-phase voltage, and ensured the minimum energy output of DVR based on the phasor diagram of the pre-sag load voltage. The characteristics of the fast response and the high conversion of the super conductor magnetic energy storage (SMES) are made full use of. Finally, through simulating MATLAB, this compensation method is proved to be capable of effectively reducing the active power output of DVR, fast compensating the voltage sag, as well as enlarging the compensation scope of DVR.
Marine knowledge sharing platform for federating responsible research and innovation communities

The Marina proposal overall aim is to create an all-inclusive Knowledge Sharing Platform (KSP) catalysing and organising the convergence of already existing networks, communities, on-line platforms and services providing an online socio-technical environment that facilitates and stimulates the direct engagement of researchers, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), citizens, industry stakeholders, policy and decision makers, research funders and communicators for improving Responsible Research and Innovation. 
In particular, the project will establish, curate and experiment a Responsible Research and Innovation platform involving societal actors working together during the whole research and innovation process for aligning better both the process and its outcomes, with the values, needs and expectations of European society, integrating citizens visions, needs and desires into science and innovation, promoting RRI with focus on marine issues and pressures that have important effects on the European societies. The project activities and outcomes, even if connected with marine research field, will define this systematic approach in order to make it transferable and reproducible for any RRI thematic domain. All project results and activities will be extrapolated from the RRI marine field to general RRI and broadly disseminated. The expected outcome of the  Work Programme is a clear improvement of the integration of society in science and innovation. The MARINA project will follow this strategic line of “strengthening and facilitating” the capacity of the research and innovation to align and integrate the social needs through a suitable knowledge sharing platform and federating activities.

Semiconductor memory device, information processing system including the same, and controller

To include first and second data input/output terminals allocated to first and second memory circuit units, respectively, and an address terminal allocated in common to these memory circuit units. When a first chip selection signal is activated, the first memory circuit unit performs a read operation or a write operation via the first data input/output terminal based on an address signal regardless of an operation of the second memory circuit unit. When a second chip selection signal is activated, the second memory circuit unit performs a read operation or a write operation via the second data input/output terminal based on the address signal regardless of an operation of the first memory circuit unit. With this configuration, a wasteful data transfer can be prevented, and the effective data transfer rate can be increased.
European  building sustainability performance and energy certification hub

The next generation of energy performance assessments and certificates ought to address the transformation into an era where an increasing amount data are available on the operational use of buildings, and the buildings can be observed with ever increasing details via a larger number of stakeholders. The EUB SuperHub project will support the evolvement of the certification process in the EU by development of a scalable methodology to view, assess and monitor the buildings through their lifecycle (embedded energy, costs etc.). The EU Level(s) initiative is already leading a way of a new, holistic view of the buildings taking into account sustainability principles (LCA, LCC etc.) for residential, commercial and public buildings. Energy performance assessments and certificates of buildings therefore need to evolve to reflect the technological development, the needs of the society, and within the EU, they must be consistent throughout Member States. Holistic view of buildings, social and technological shifts in the society require a change in the way we observe and handle the built environment helping incentives to yield in energy efficiency and investments.
Chemistry and transport properties of bridgmanite controlling lower-mantle dynamics

Seismic observations imply that slab descent and plume ascent are impeded in the mid-mantle (MM) (depths of 660–1000 km, pressures of 23–40 GPa). A recent evaluation of viscosity variation suggested the presence of a viscosity increase or maximum in the MM that could drag the slab and plume motions. The viscosity variation may be caused by a change in the rheology of bridgmanite (Brg), the dominant mineral in the lower mantle (LM). The absence of seismic anisotropy suggests the dominance of diffusion creep in the majority of the LM. Element diffusivities and grain size are two essential factors of diffusion creep, and defect chemistry controls diffusivity. Hence, this project will determine defect chemistry, diffusivity and the grain growth rate of Brg. Since plume ascent originates in deep parts in the LM, these three properties need to be determined at pressures up to 80 GPa. Although use of a large-volume press (LVP) is vital for obtaining reliable high-pressure experimental data on mineral and rock properties, conventional LVP with carbide anvils can only generate 27 GPa. Recent LVP technology can generate over 100 GPa using sintered diamond (SD) anvils, but the process is currently very difficult for practical use. We developed a method to generate 50 GPa using hard carbide (HWC) anvils that allows practical investigation of Brg properties at mantle temperatures. We will investigate the three properties of Brg up to 50 GPa using LVP with HWC. We will develop LVP technology with SD to reliably generate pressures up to 80 GPa at mantle temperatures, and we will investigate the Brg properties under these conditions. These data will enable numerical modelling of slab and plume dynamics to explain the seismic observations. Through such modelling, we will investigate how materials are transported between the surface and deep mantle reservoirs, which can provide insight into Earth’s evolution and surface habitability.
The crusade for credible energy information and analysis in the United States, 1973–1982

Until the oil-based ‘energy crisis’ of 1973, the American Petroleum Institute and other private interests created the vast majority of energy statistics consumed in the United States. As the OPEC embargo set in, however, the American Petroleum Institute and the petroleum companies fell under a pall of perceived conspiracy. The US executive branch began creating its own statistics as part of the newly created Federal Energy Agency, but legislators quickly came to believe that the agency was purposely skewing the data to support the president’s policies. In this context, Congress set about, again, to create a statistics-building group, which became known as the Energy Information Administration, that would be ‘independent’ from both presidential and legislative politics and that could manufacture trust. This article argues that federal bureaucrats used various means, both interpersonal and mechanical (mathematical and statistical), to build credible energy information and analysis.
Bus Dwell Time Estimation and Prediction: A Study Case in Shanghai-China

Since dwell time usually takes a large part of bus travel time, the large variability in dwell time always makes accurate prediction of arrival time\travel time difficult. On the other hand, Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) and Automatic Passengers Counters (APC) systems are increasingly implemented for transit operation, which yield a vast amount of real time data. The emphasis of this research is to develop a bus dwell time model based on AVL and APC dynamic data, which is capable of providing real time information on bus arrival times. This model can be used for stop-based control strategies as well. The dwell time model established in this paper not only includes the number of passengers boarding and alighting, but also considers secondary factors like crowding and fare type. The number of boarding and alighting passengers is estimated by passenger arrival rate, bus headway, and capacity. Collection method, service mode, capacity restriction and occupancy of the vehicle are all taken into account in the model. Furthermore, the model is validated with the data of bus line Jiading 3 in Shanghai, China. It is compared with two previously developed models for the same route in four data sets. The results indicate that the models can be well applied in high demanded urban bus lines, especially in presence of high occupancy of vehicles. Since the effectiveness of estimation models is verified by statistical analysis methods, it will help in obtaining a reliable algorithm which can be adopted for bus arrival time/travel time prediction and assessing transit stop-based dynamic control actions.
