The yen and the dollar: Irrational exuberance?

Subjects: Economics

description: "As a global investment advisor, my job is to try to see through the volatility in international financial markets by using information of the past and our knowledge of theory and market psychology to make predictions about the future and then invest accordingly. The title of my talk shamelessly exploits the term popularized by Federal Reserve Chairman Greenspan some weeks ago when reflecting on the boisterous advance of the U.S. stock market. I expropriate it to draw attention to the very important, frequently controversial, and sometimes even emotional question of the appropriate level of the yen-dollar exchange rate."

description: In the Higgs search at the LHC, a light Higgs boson (115 GeV H) -> VV, V= W,Z, O(10%) corrections occur due to an enhanced Higgs signal in the region M_VV > 2 M_V, where also sizable Higgs-continuum interference occurs. We discuss how experimental selection cuts can be used to exclude this region in search channels where the Higgs invariant mass cannot be reconstructed. We note that the H -> VV decay modes in weak boson fusion are similarly affected.

description: This paper examines the economic consequences of bilingualism. Specifically, we explore whether the ability to effectively communicate in English and Spanish is rewarded in labor markets. Using a sample of the Hispanic population drawn from U.S. census data for the year 2000 we find that controlling for education, gender, age, place of birth, sector and region of employment, bilingualism has a substantively small positive relation with higher income. However, our results also show that bilingualism is negatively correlated with wage-based income among different occupational categories and sectors, but particularly among managers and those employed in the public sector.
Historical, structural, and macroeconomic perspectives on the Japanese economic crisis

description: Paul Krugman once noted that it is not remarkable that people tend to favor structural interpretations for economic problems. Losing one's job or seeing one's wealth fall by a factor of two or three is often a tragedy for workers and their families. It is an anathema that this might be the result of some bureaucrat accidentally miscalculating the money supply in one's own country or, even worse, in some other country. How can such pain be caused by something so trivial as misreading information about monetary aggregates? Yet, these are exactly the explanations that economic theory suggests are critical in understanding business cycles. Hence it is not surprising that in all countries there is a tendency to give business cycles a structural interpretation.

Fig. 4A–D
Chastomera brevipalpis — Mamaev 1964: 903, fig. 3v; Spungis 1985: 41, fig. 1 Haplusia brevipalpis — Gagné 1978: 518.
Previous descriptions of G. brevipalpis in the literature were based on a very few specimens: a single female from Russia (Mamaev 1964) and several larvae plus an adult of either sex from Latvia (Spungis 1985). Spungis’s (1985) description is here complemented on the basis of eight males recently found in Öland, Sweden—the first specimens of G. brevipalpis known from that country.
Diagnosis. In G. brevipalpis, as in most other Gynapteromyia, translucent sensilla on the flagellomeres (Fig. D) and palpi are simply hair-shaped and vein CuA extends to the wing margin. Characters of the male genitalia (Fig. A) are diagnostic of this species, as follows. The ventral emargination of the gonocoxites is evenly U-shaped; the long protrusions microtrichia of the and medial fine setae gonocoxal (↓); the bridges stout gonostylus are angulated is only rather slightly than rounded tapered and towards sparsely the covered apex (↓) with; and both the
tegmen apex is subrectangular, with the corners barely prominent (↓).
Other male characters in addition to Spungis (1985). Head. Eye bridge 1–2 ommatidia long dorsally. Genal setae 1–3, often thick, straight. Palpus with either 3 or 4 segments (Fig. B–C), sensory hairs on first and second, occasionally third segments. Wing. Vein btv with 0–2 setae. Basal and central portions of membrane without setae.
Material examined. Sweden: 7 males (CEC00139−00145), Öland, Mörbylånga, Ullevi, herb-rich meadow near forest, 24 May–15 July 2015, Malaise trap, M. & C.

description: Starting from concrete AdS/CFT dual pairs, one can introduce ingredients which produce cosmological solutions, including metastable de Sitter and its decay to non-accelerating FRW. We present simple FRW solutions sourced by magnetic flavor branes and analyze correlation functions and particle and brane dynamics. To obtain a holographic description, we exhibit a time-dependent warped metric on the solution and interpret the resulting redshifted region as a Lorentzian low energy effective field theory in one fewer dimension. At finite times, this theory has a finite cutoff, a propagating lower dimensional graviton and a finite covariant entropy bound, but at late times the lower dimensional Planck mass and entropy go off to infinity in a way that is dominated by contributions from the low energy effective theory. This opens up the possibility of a precise dual at late times. We reproduce the time-dependent growth of the number of degrees of freedom in the system via a count of available microscopic states in the corresponding magnetic brane construction.

The next Afghan civil war

Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2008

description: Bibliography: p. 135-141
description: In the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, poor information and the need for a very public retaliation set the United States on a course to engage both Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan, seeking their destruction. The decision to include the Taliban as a target in response to Al Qaeda's attacks was based on the perceptions that the two organizations had become one and the same. It was believed that they cooperated both in training anti-American jihadists and endeavouring to keep Osama bin Laden safe from American justice. In retrospect, these were inaccurate oversimplifications which led to errors in planning and objective setting. The mission into which Canada and other allies have been drawn in Afghanistan is now increasingly becoming accepted as unwinnable, in the sense of Western political will for military action, because the goals of the NATO International Security Assistance Force mission and US Operation Enduring freedom run counter to Pakistani interests, and because the Western missions have recreated several critical mistakes of the Soviet invasion of the 1980s. For Canada in particular, the decision to deploy to Kandahar in 2005 was a poor one, and the subsequent January 2008 Manley Report to the Prime Minister provided a basis to extend that poor decision. The Western missions in Afghanistan today are doing little but fostering the conditions for a new civil war, and a recreation of the chaos of the 1990s. Canada should break with the American position on the Taliban and begin advocating that the Karzai government engage senior Taliban leaders in negotiation towards a political settlement of the insurgency. This must be done before the momentum of this conflict swings so far in the Taliban's favour that they lose any incentive to negotiate.

description: This paper examines the perceptions of a scientist at a global diversified company. I found that IP managers can modify the cognitive biases of scientists, and bring them to seek common assumptions with core business logics -- that is, find common ground. As a result, management can frame existing capabilities in new ways using common assumptions with scientists' cognitions as led by the IP management viewpoint. Organizations can then add new strategic alternatives via innovation based on newly interpreted capabilities.

Die Autorschaften von Fachbeiträgen hat sich also im Zeitverlauf deutlich geändert, diese Entwicklung ähnelt der in vielen anderen Fachgebieten, zu denen Schlagzeilen gehören wie „Author Inflation“, „excessive coauthors“, „dramatic trend toward multiple authorship“ und “solo authorship becoming rare …” oder der Hinweis, Einzelautoren seien mittlerweile auf der Liste aussterbender Spezies zu führen.
In vielen wissenschaftlichen Fachgebieten werden derartige Entwicklungen seit Jahrzehnten kritisch beobachtet. Das profan wirkende Problem, wie angemessen und gerecht mit Koautoren umgegangen werden soll, ist lange in einer ernsten Diskussion und wird schon 1969 durch den Vorschlag eines elaborierten Algorithmus und den Einsatz einer IBM 360/50 persifliert. Dabei haben Publikationen und deren Autorschaften hohe Bedeutung bei der Messung und Bewertung von Qualifikationen und Forschungsleistungen für Institutionen wie Fakultäten und Hochschulen sowie für Personen. Die Bedeutung derartiger Messungen nimmt zu. Wenn sich Maßzahlen zu Publikationen in einem Fachgebiet signifikant ändern, dann ist das ein Signal dafür, dass im Fachgebiet wichtige Änderungen oder Entwicklungen stattfinden. Was bedeutet eine signifikante Änderung, wenn also die deutliche Zunahme bei der Anzahl der Autoren pro Beitrag oder die deutliche Abnahme des Anteils der Beiträge von Einzelautoren zu beobachten ist? Hier wird diskutiert, welche Interpretationen der Entwicklungen in unserem Fachgebiet zulässig und angezeigt sind.

Loop Variables and Gauge Invariant Exact Renormalization Group Equations for (Open) String Theory
Creators: name: Sathiapalan, B.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: An exact renormalization group equation is written down for the world sheet theory describing the bosonic open string in general backgrounds. Loop variable techniques are used to make the equation gauge invariant. This is worked out explicitly up to level 3. The equation is quadratic in the fields and can be viewed as a proposal for a string field theory equation. As in the earlier loop variable approach, the theory has one extra space dimension and mass is obtained by dimensional reduction. Being based on the sigma model RG, it is background independent. It is intriguing that in contrast to BRST string field theory, the gauge transformations are not modified by the interactions up to the level calculated. The interactions can be written in terms of gauge invariant field strengths for the massive higher spin fields and the non zero mass is essential for this. This is reminiscent of Abelian Born-Infeld action (along with derivative corrections) for the massless vector field, which is also written in terms of the field strength.

The sensitivity of the ratio of the decay widths when K_2 meson is longitudinally and transversally polarized, the forward-backward asymmetry and longitudinal polarization of the final lepton on the new Wilson coefficients is studied. It is found that these quantities are very useful for establishing new physics beyond the Standard Model.

description: We study the effect of the quadratic field strength correction to the usual Maxwell field on the holographic dual models in the backgrounds of AdS black hole and AdS soliton. We find that in the black hole background, the higher correction to the Maxwell field makes the condensation harder to form and changes the expected relation in the gap frequency. This effect is similar to that caused by the curvature correction. However, in the soliton background we find that different from the curvature effect, the correction to the Maxwell field does not influence the holographic superconductor and insulator phase transition.

“My face! give it back!” : interrogating mask metaphors and identification in Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics
Creators: name: Chuang Xin, Sulynn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis argues that one way to resolve some of the discrepancies in the theory of identification proposed by Scott McCloud in Understanding Comics, such as his mask metaphor, is to approach his theory via theatrical conceits. By thinking of identification in the terms of an actor playing a masked character, in which to read a comic and identify with a cartoon character means to put on a mask and imaginatively play the character, McCloud’s contention of cartoons matching our basic mind-pictures becomes readily resolved by virtue of the fact that the mask is serving as a dramatic signifier of the reader’s inner reality. That is, by imaginatively bringing to life the iconic cartoon form, the reader mimetically becomes the character, hence making it entirely plausible for anyone to enter the world of the cartoon and see themselves in the faces of the characters. The mask thus becomes a logo that transforms the reader’s body into logos, granting access to the realm of the symbolic by covering up a reader’s personal identity such that he or she becomes a cipher, at liberty to see whatever he or she wants in the cartoon image. However, regarding the comics panel as a kind of dramatic stage in which the identifying reader is intimately involved as both actor and initiator of theatrical communication, raises other problems. It not only problematises the distinction between reality and artifice in an imaginative performance context, but also ignores the fact that masks are frequently used for purposes of preventing rather than promoting audience identification. McCloud’s theory, in attempting to circumvent the issues surrounding the fraught relationship between self and other that are inherent in any discussion of identification by applying the mask as a structuring term, raises new issues of its own.
Comparisons, contrasts and implications from financial development in Japan, Taiwan and Korea

description: The financial systems of Japan, Korea and Taiwan have not just grown, they have been profoundly transformed over time. The process has been evolutionary and incremental, driven by real economic growth and the attendant growth and change in demand for various types of financial services. To draw out some significant comparisons and contrasts and to reflect on their implications, this chapter first considers four aspects of the countries' systems. These are structure, the stress on the safety of the system, financial repression (the definitional result of below-market interest rate policies), and the ownership and control of commercial banks. This provides a context for analyzing the liberalization process, bank behavior, and the efficiency and effectiveness of finance, including the relationship of financial policies to the more comprehensive industrial policies of each country. The chapter concludes with an overall evaluation.

description: Vor der Abgabe von Studienarbeiten ist dringend eine sorgfältige Überarbeitung vorzunehmen, um Einbußen bei der Bewertung zu vermeiden. So ist nach dem Abschluss aller inhaltlichen Arbeiten sowie der Anfertigung aller Texte, Abbildungen und Tabellen – als zusätzlicher Arbeitsschritt – eine Endredaktion vorzunehmen, bei der spezielle Fehler ausgemerzt werden. Für diesen Arbeitsschritt wird hiermit eine Anleitung vorgelegt. Der Ausdruck „Studienarbeit“ steht dabei immer für alle unterschiedlichen Formen wie Hausarbeiten, Seminararbeiten, Abschlussarbeiten, Bachelorarbeiten, Masterarbeiten, Diplomarbeiten und hnliche schriftliche Leistungsnachweise. Im Sport steht der Ausdruck „unforced error“ für Fehler, die im sportlichen Wettstreit nicht vom Gegner ausgelöst werden, sondern selbstverschuldet – und damit besonders ärgerlich – sind. Dieser Ausdruck soll hier für Fehler in Studienarbeiten stehen, die leicht vermeidbar sind und nicht vom Thema oder der Aufgabenstellung einer Studienarbeit hervorgerufen oder verursacht werden. Eine Vermeidung dieser Fehler ist relativ einfach: Die zu beachtenden Regeln sind elementar und die Vorgehensweisen zur Fehlerkorrektur sind schlicht und wenig aufwändig. Daher wäre es besonders ärgerlich, diese Fehler nicht zu beheben und deswegen Abzüge bei der Bewertung von Studienarbeiten hinzunehmen. Wesentlich schwieriger zu erkennen und zu beheben sind Mängel in der Vorgehensweise oder Methode oder bei der Strukturierung von Studienarbeiten; die dabei zu beachtenden Hinweise und Regeln sind durchaus anspruchsvoll und aufwändig in der Umsetzung (siehe Literaturhinweis). Unforced Errors hingegen sind leicht erkennbar und behebbar und daher – wenn sie trotzdem gemacht werden – besonders ärgerlich für Autoren/innen von Studienarbeiten. Leider geschehen diese Fehler häufig und verringern die Qualität vieler Studienarbeiten erheblich. Daher ist hier eine Reihe besonders häufiger „unforced errors“ angegeben, die in Studienarbeiten vorkommen, jedoch eigentlich leicht erkennbar und behebbar, also vermeidbar, sind. Diese Anleitung kann als Checkliste zur letzten Überarbeitung von Studienarbeiten genutzt werden, um vor der Abgabe die Anzahl der Fehler zu verringern. Denn gewiss ist es besser, wenn die Autoren/innen diese Fehler bei der letzten Überarbeitung bemerken und beheben, als dass diese den  Lesern/Leserinnen beim ersten Lesen zur Bewertung der Studienarbeit auffallen.

description:
BACKGROUND: Using Doppler to improve detection of intrapartum fetal heart rate (FHR) abnormalities coupled with appropriate, timely intrapartum care in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) can save lives. OBJECTIVE: To review studies using Doppler to improve detection of intrapartum FHR abnormalities and intrapartum care quality in LMIC health facilities. SEARCH STRATEGY: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Global Health, and Scopus were searched from inception to October 2018 by combining terms for Doppler, perinatal outcomes, and FHR monitoring. SELECTION CRITERIA: Selected studies compared Doppler and Pinard stethoscope for detecting/monitoring intrapartum FHR, or described provider and maternal preferences for FHR monitoring in LMIC settings. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Two team members independently screened and collected data. Risk of bias was assessed by Cochrane EPOC criteria. RESULTS: Eleven studies from eight countries were included. Doppler was superior at detecting abnormal intrapartum FHR as compared with Pinard stethoscope, but was not associated with improved perinatal outcomes. Using Doppler on admission helped to accurately measure perinatal deaths occurring after facility admission. CONCLUSION: Studies and program learning are needed to translate improved detection of FHR abnormalities to improved case management in LMICs. Doppler should be used to calculate a facility indicator of intrapartum care quality. PROSPERO registration: CRD42019121924.
"La seconde ville de l'empire" : the educational network in Rome during the Napoleonic years

description: On 17th of May 1809, Rome is officially annexed to the French Empire. At that moment, Rome was already mentioned as ‘la seconde ville de l’Empire” (17th of February decree), and assigned to the ‘King of Rome’, that is the future child of Napoleon and Maria Luisa Habsburg-Lorraine. Since the 5th of July 1809, pope Pius VII was arrested and confined in Savona (Liguria), and the papal government completely dismantelled. The new province was divided into two departments, the first called Tevere and the second called Trasimeno. Finally, on 17th of April 1810, another decree suppressed the religious orders, except for the few-ones that were involved in the social field, such as hospitals and education. This is briefly the frame in which we are going to insert our observations about the Napoleonic attempt to re-build the educational Roman system.

description: In diesem Beitrag wird diskutiert, wie Korruption oder korruptionsnahes Verhalten in der Sozialen Arbeit wahrgenommen und bewertet wird. Dabei liegt der Fokus auf dem Unterschied zwischen Studiengängen der Sozialen Arbeit sowie Wirtschafts- und Verwaltungsstudiengängen. Geprüft wird, ob korruptionsnahe Handlungen von Studierenden der Sozialen Arbeit anders wahrgenommen werden als von Studierenden anderer Studiengänge. Diese Frage rekurriert auf den hohen ethischen Anspruch der Profession. Dahinter steckt die implizite Annahme, dass Studierende der Sozialen Arbeit durch ihre Profession und die damit zusammenhängende Grundhaltung „etwas Gutes tun zu wollen“ vor Korruption möglicherweise geschützt sind. Basierend auf den Ergebnissen der Forschungsprojekte Subjektive Sicherheit – Einflussfaktoren auf Korruptionsschwellen (Litzcke et al. 2010) und Korruption und unethisches Handeln in Berufsfeldern der Sozialen Arbeit (Linssen/Kammigan, 2014) wurden diese Fragen empirisch überprüft und ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse lassen Rückschlüsse auf besondere Risiken zu, denen Fachkräfte der Sozialen Arbeit gegenüberstehen. Des Weiteren ergeben sich Rückschlüsse hinsichtlich möglicher Präventionsstrategien zur Bekämpfung von Korruption im Arbeitsfeld Soziale Arbeit.
description: This article focuses on the question of how corruption and similar practises are perceived and rated in the field of social work. Are there differences between this field and the fields of economic and administration? Do students of social work perceive corrupt practices differently to others?  Do social workers ever behave in a corrupt manner or does the profession, together with its fundamental attitude of “doing something good”, actually prevent the professionals from carrying out such behaviour? These questions relate to the highly ethical entitlement of the profession of social work. Based on the results of several studies on corruption these questions are empirically examined and evaluated. The results draw conclusions regarding special risks for professionals of social work and strategies for prevention of corruption.

description: The analysis of Type Ia supernova data over the past decade has been a notable success story in cosmology. These standard candles offer us an unparalleled opportunity of studying the cosmological expansion out to a redshift of ~1.5. The consensus today appears to be that LCDM offers the best explanation for the luminosity-distance relationship seen in these events. However, a significant incompatibility is now emerging between the standard model and other equally important observations, such as those of the cosmic microwave background. LCDM does not provide an accurate representation of the cosmological expansion at high redshifts (z>>2). It is therefore essential to re-analyze the Type Ia supernova data in light of the cosmology (the R_h=ct Universe) that best represents the Universe's dynamical evolution at early times. In this paper, we directly compare the distance-relationship in LCDM with that predicted by R_h=ct, and each with the Union2.1 sample, and show that the two theories produce virtually indistinguishable profiles, though the fit with R_h=ct has not yet been optimized. This is because the data cannot be determined independently of the assumed cosmology---the supernova luminosities must be evaluated by optimizing 4 parameters simultaneously with those in the adopted model. This renders the data compliant to the underlying theory, so the m odel-dependent data reduction should not be ignored in any comparative analysis between competing cosmologies. In this paper, we use R_h=ct to fit the data reduced with LCDM, and though quite promising, the match is not perfect. An even better fit would result with an optimization of the data using R_h=ct from the beginning.

Gynapteromyia carpatica —Mamaev in Mamaev & Krivosheina 1965: 266, figs 41–42; Mamaev 1966: 218, fig. 2.1.
The description of G. carpatica in Mamaev & Krivosheina (1965) focused on larval characters; adults were briefly described by Mamaev (1966). The only adult illustration published for G. c a r p a t i c a refers to the head in lateral view (Mamaev 1966: fig. 2.1). A few years ago I was able to study the male holotype of this species, and from my notes and a sketch of the genitalia made at that time I now realize that G. c a r p a t i c a must be regarded as conspecific with the species of the Haplusia brevipalpis group of Jaschhof & Jaschhof (2013) as well as with other, similar species (unnamed or named here) from different parts of the world. Gynapteromyia carpatica is the only species whose scape is smaller than the pedicel (Mamaev 1966: fig. 2.1) and the only species in Europe with singlesegmented palpi. The tegmen of G. carpatica is somewhat unusual in having small, rounded membranous protuberances apicolaterally, similar to the tegmen in an unnamed Gynapteromyia from Japan.

On Social Networks and Social Protest: Understanding the Organizational Embeddedness of Large-Scale Protest Events
Creators: name: Fisher, Dana R.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2008
Subjects: Social sciences--Research

description: How do large-scale protest events differ across nation-states? Do social networks play different roles in different places and, if so, how do they matter? This paper compares the roles that social networks play in mobilizing participants in large-scale domestic protest. Comparing two relatively recent events in the United States and France, I find that different types of social ties did not play the same role in each country. Although personal and organizational ties played almost equal roles in mobilizing participants at the protest-event during the Republican National Convention in 2004, organizational ties played a much more significant role in mobilizing participants to protest the Contrat Première Embauche (CPE) in France in 2006. In addition, participants in these two protest events reported being involved in dissimilar types of organizations at varying levels, which may help to explain the differential outcomes of these two protests.

Danach folgt in Kapitel 3 ein Überblick über die wichtigsten Normen und Empfehlungen zum Themenfeld „IT-Sicherheit in der Produktion“. Kapitel 4 entwickelt an Hand eines Zehn-Punkte-Plans ein Konzept für den Aufbau eines IT-Sicherheitssystems für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen (KMU). Dabei liegt der Schwerpunkt nicht nur auf den technischen, sondern insbesondere auch auf den häufig vernachlässigten organisatorischen Maßnahmen. Abschließend gibt Kapitel 5 einen Ausblick auf künftige Anforderungen und Lösungen im Kontext von Industrie 4.0

description: Previous research showed most BL Lac objects and some quasars have aligned VLBI-core and optical polarizations, although some of the AGNs also showed no obvious relationship between VLBI-core and optical polarization angles. This may indicate that some AGNs have co-spatial regions of optical and radio emission, while others do not. Another possibility is that some of the VLBI cores had Faraday rotations of several tens of thousand of rad/m^2, which were not properly fit using the three-frequency data due to nπambiguities in the observed polarization angles, leading to incorrect subtraction of the effects of the core Faraday rotation, and so incorrect intrinsic radio polarization angles χ_0. We obtained additional 12+15+22+24+43GHz plus optical observations for 8 of 40 AGNs previously considered. Our results indicate that, although some VLBI radio cores have comparatively high rotation measures, this alone cannot explain the misalignments found between the radio core and optical VLBI polarization angles, Δχ= |χ_opt - χ_0|. Comparison between Δχand (i) the orientation of χ_0 relative to the jet direction, (ii) the degree of polarization of the core, (iii) a depolarization factor, (iv) the core rotation measures and (v) the core magnetic fields 1pc from the jet base do not yield evidence for any correlations between these properties. There is some evidence that the maximum observed Δχtends to decrease as the core-region magnetic field increases, suggesting that misalignments in Δχcould be associated in part with relatively low core magnetic fields. Thus, although the overall distribution of Δχfor all 40 sources in our sample does show a significant peak at Δχ\sim0, it remains unclear what distinguishes these AGN cores from those showing appreciable misalignment between optical and VLBI-core polarization position angles.

description: We combine Bayesian networks (BNs) and structural reliability methods (SRMs) to create a new computational framework, termed enhanced Bayesian network (eBN), for reliability and risk analysis of engineering structures and infrastructure. BNs are efficient in representing and evaluating complex probabilistic dependence structures, as present in infrastructure and structural systems, and they facilitate Bayesian updating of the model when new information becomes available. On the other hand, SRMs enable accurate assessment of probabilities of rare events represented by computationally demanding, physically-based models. By combining the two methods, the eBN framework provides a unified and powerful tool for efficiently computing probabilities of rare events in complex structural and infrastructure systems in which information evolves in time. Strategies for modeling and efficiently analyzing the eBN are described by way of several conceptual examples. The companion paper applies the eBN methodology to example structural and infrastructure systems.

description: Although it is well-documented that children from divorced or single-parent families have lower performance in school, little is known about whether the timing of divorce is linked to a decline in school performance. In this paper, we examine whether and how the timing of change in parents' marital status influences the odds that a child is held back a grade in school using the Baltimore Parenthood Study, a thirty-year longitudinal study that has tracked the lives of inner-city families. Using logistic regression and hazard analysis, we show that the odds that a child is held back in school increase dramatically around the period of marital dissolution.

description: In this work, I presented the key concepts and the main approximations used in our computer models, and also discussed why some of these approximations are relevant to muon experiments. In particular, I talked about DFT and how it can be used to study muonated molecular and crystalline systems. In particular, I presented a method that we are developing to predict the muon stopping sites in crystalline materials.

Male genitalic characters diagnostic of this species are as follows (Fig. A). The fairly narrow tegmen has slightly protruding corners that are directed ventrally (↓); the protrusions of the medial gonocoxal bridges are pointed and sparsely covered with ordinary setae and microtrichia (↓); and the compact gonostylus is markedly tapered towards the apex (↓) and equipped with a normal-sized tooth. Females of G. f u rc a t a are unknown.
Other male characters. Body length 1.3–1.4 mm. Head. Genal setae 2–3. Eye bridge without ommatidia dorsally. Scape with 3–4 setae. Fourth flagellomere (Fig. D) with neck and node equally long; node ovoid rather than cylindrical, 2 furcate sensilla with up to 8 tines, microtrichia dense basally, very sparse elsewhere. Palpus (Fig. C) single-segmented, setae sparse, translucent sensilla numerous, with 2–3 tines. Wing length / width 2.7.
Membrane fully setose. Vein btv setose. CuA fading out before wing margin. Legs with narrow scales in addition to setae. Genitalia (Fig. A). Gonocoxae: ventral emargination deep, slightly broadened medially; ventral bridge unsetose, with indistinct transverse suture; anterior processes of apodemes about as long as distance separating them. Gonostylus twice as long as wide. Parameral apodemes small.

description: Immune environment plays an important role in the management of liver cancer. The current study aimed to explore the change of NK and NKT cells, IL-17A, CD4+ T and CD8+ T cells in refractory liver metastases patients before and after CalliSpheres® microspheres transarterial chemoembolization (CSM-TACE). Peripheral blood (PB) samples from 35 refractory liver metastases patients were collected before CSM-TACE (baseline), 2 days (D2) and 5 days (D5) after CSM-TACE. Then, NK and NKT cells, IL-17A, CD4+ T and CD8+ T cells from PB samples were detected. All enrolled patients successfully completed CSM-TACE procedure and achieved disease control rate of 100% after 1 month. NKT cells were increased from baseline to D2 and D5 [median (range): 5.88% (1.53%-12.05%) vs. 9.54% (5.19%-15.71%) vs. 7.12% (2.77%-13.29%)], NK cells were also enhanced from baseline to D2 and D5 [median (range): 14.35% (5.85%-20.52%) vs. 20.36% (15.88%-27.30%) vs. 30.82% (22.18%-37.72%)], while IL-17A was declined from baseline to D2 and D5 [median (range): 22.11 (9.46-39.18) pg/ml vs. 12.41 (3.24-26.84) pg/ml vs. 6.55 (1.11-20.98) pg/ml]. Furthermore, IL-17A was negatively correlated with the NK and NKT cells at baseline, D2 and D5 (all p < .05), respectively. Additionally, CD4+ T cells and CD4+ T/CD8+ T ratio were increased while CD8+ T cells were declined from baseline to D2 and D5 (all p < .05). NK cells, NKT cells, and CD4+ T cells are increased but IL-17A and CD8+ T cells are declined after CSM-TACE in refractory liver metastases.
