description: Cord blood (CB) is widely used in treating haematologic disorders due to its broad availability, tolerance to significant histocompatibility antigen disparities, and low incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). The cord blood transplantation (CBT) with anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG)-containing conditioning regimens shows promise in this regard. We conducted a retrospective review of data from patients who underwent CBT at our centre from August 2003 to December 2022. Patients undergoing CBT with ATG were matched with those who received HLA-haploidentical haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). Propensity score matching (PSM) was utilized to form 105 matched pairs (140 patients) for comprehensive trial analysis. The cumulative incidence of neutrophil and platelet engraftment was significantly lower in the CBT group. Patients in the CBT group exhibited significantly lower incidences of grade II-IV acute GVHD (aGVHD) and cGVHD compared to the haplo-HSCT group (8.57% vs. 29.52%, p = 0.012; 20% vs. 39.05%, p = 0.031). The overall survival (OS) rate for the CBT and haplo-HSCT groups showed no significant difference. In patients with leukaemia, the CBT cohort showed better OS, GVHD-free and relapse-free survival (GRFS), as well as a lower incidence of disease relapse, although there was no statistical difference. Our single-centre retrospective long-term follow-up investigations indicated that although the implantation rate of CBT is lower than that of haplo-HSCT, patients undergoing CBT with ATG-containing conditioning regimens may have a comparable overall survival with a lower risk of GVHD compared to those undergoing haplo-HSCT.

description: Green infrastructure for heat protection in cities: According to current climate projections, the increase in the number and intensity of heatwaves in many regions of the world associated with climate change will continue in the coming decades. People in cities are particularly affected by this development. The expansion of urban green spaces can make a significant, nature-oriented contribution to climate adaptation in many cities. The focus of this article is on urban trees, which have a particularly large cooling potential through shading and evaporation. The importance of general site issues and soil properties is also emphasized.

The Workback Method and the Value of Helium
Creators: name: Braeutigam, Ronald R.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1979

description: It is sometimes the case that the value of a resource at one stage of production must be assessed in the absence of a well defined market at that stage. One tool for valuation is the "workback" method, which imputes a value to a resource at an early processing stage by subtracting from an observed price for the resource at a more refined stage all of the costs incurred between the two stages. The workback method has been used by the courts in attempting to assess the wellhead value of helium extracted from helium-bearing natural gas streams during the Helium Conservation Program. This paper describes conditions necessary for a correct application of the workback method generally, and then provides an economic analysis of two court decisions using the workback method in the helium industry. Most importantly, the paper shows why a correct application of the workback method requires an understanding of market structure, whether the method is applied to helium, other natural resources, or more general multistage production processes.

Subjects: Fuels, Commercial regulation, Utilities costs, Price regulation, Utility rates, Economic capital, Economic regulation, Price level changes, Electric utilities, Economic costs

description: ncreases in the cost of fossil fuels helped make automatic fuel cost adjustment mechanisms popular institutions for regulating electric utilities. Economic intuition suggests that these clauses could distort incentives for input choice. The purpose of this article is to explore the theoretical basis for such potential distortions in a world of uncertain fuel prices. Two different models of the regulatory environment are considered. For each, it is shown that input choice incentives are altered in the presence of a fuel adjustment mechanism. Finally, some suggested benefits of such clauses to the financial position of the utility are examined.

Quantitative Social-Scientific History
Creators: name: Kousser, J. Morgan
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1979

description: Quantitative social science launched its invasion of American history during the years 1957 to 1961. In 1957, Lee Benson, a historian schooled in sociology, published a sweeping critique of "impressionistic" treatments of nineteenth-century American elections and called on historians to expand their definition of primary sources beyond newspapers and manuscripts to include quantifiable data. Four years later Benson added practice to preachment, relying heavily on a quantitative analysis of election returns to produce a brilliant and original interpretation of American politics in the 1830s and 40s. In a paper delivered in 1957, two Harvard economists, Alfred H. Conrad and John R. Meyer, reinvigorated the discussion of an old historical problem and initiated the new "econometric history" by demonstrating the profitability both of slavery and of applying modern economic theory and techniques to history. By 1960, the "cliometricians," as they were jibingly labeled, were holding annual conferences at Purdue to coordinate research efforts and criticize each other's papers. A year before, the historian Merle Curti, assisted by several other historians and his psychologist wife, Margaret, published a quantitative historical study of community social structure and mobility, which, along with the work of Stephan Thernstrom, inspired legions of students to take up the "new social history."

Clubb for American Behavioral Scientist, XXI (1977), 163-310, especially Bogue and Clubb's "History, Quantification, and the Social Sciences," ibid., 167-86, that I can no longer sort out those ideas which I had independently from those I stole from that set of essays. To avoid repetition I shall display the fruits of this burglary without further acknowledgement.

description: This paper examines the economic consequences of allocating common costs by (1) gross revenues, (2) directly attributable costs, and (3) relative output levels (such as ton-miles) to determine fully distributed cost prices for regulated firms. The analysis characterizes FDC tariffs, examining the nature of the economic inefficiency associated with the rules, and explains how opportunities for entry by unregulated firms might change if Ramsey optimal pricing were used instead of FDC pricing.

Money in Consumption-Loan Type Models: An Addendum
Creators: name: Cass, David
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1979

description: In the Cass, Okuno, and Zilcha (1979), we presented several examples of consumption-loan type models exhibiting the nonexistence of any competitive equilibrium which is Pareto optimal. One sort of example—involving nonmonotonicity in tastes—seemed very special. Evidently, it depended on having just the right combination of some consumption satiation together with some boundary endowments. We conjectured that such speciality wasn't essential to the intuitive proposition being advanced, that somewhat less than total satiation might unfavorably restrict potential intertemporal market transfers—even given the institution of money, in its role as a store of value, as a common means for facilitating trade between the present and the future. Rather, we proposed as a more likely reason for such speciality the particular analytic methodology being utilized, the limitation to considering only models for which competitive equilibria could be essentially characterized as the nonnegative solutions to a first order difference equation (and thus completely represented in terms of a two-dimensional diagram).
It turns out that while our intuition was correct, our reasoning wasn't. In fact, it is now apparent that the only operative constraint was simply our lack of sufficient ingenuity.

Effects of supramolecular structure on the redox, host-guest, and catalytic reactivity of metalloporphyrin nanocages
Creators: name: Blackburn, Phillip Thomas
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2024

description: Supramolecular nanocages constructed with redox active metalloporphyrin units provide a highly tunable environment for the study structural and secondary sphere effects on metalloporphyrin reactivity. Independently, metalloporphyrin units are used for chemical transformations within homogeneous and heterogeneous systems, but the fine tuning of these systems provides inspiration towards new research areas. Porphyrin-based supramolecular cages provide the foundation for these tuning studies by exploring the effects of the supramolecular structure on metalloporphyrin reactivity and by implementing desirable functional groups via non-covalent host-guest binding. Herin, we present a study into the redox, host-guest, and catalytic properties of a porphyrin-based supramolecular nanocage, exploring the effects of supramolecular structure on the properties of the porphyrin units. Introduction of CoII ions into the porphyrin walls provided a redox active metal site for reactivity studies, showing the stable reduction and oxidation of these units. The nanocage structure affected the metalloporphyrins access to the oxidized state due to steric strain, requiring the use of a stronger oxidant not affected by steric limitations. This structural affect was further explored by the coordination of neutral and anionic guests to the metal sites in the porphyrin nanocage’s walls. Steric limitations prevented larger guests from interacting with the interior of the nanocage while enhancing the coordination of smaller species. The nanocage was also able to non-covalently coordinate anionic guests into two cationic pockets within the nanocage structure, leading to the incorporation of acidic guests with increased acidity due to host-guest encapsulation. Acidic protons encapsulated within the nanocage structure were stoichiometrically deprotonated using oxygen reduction reactions in order to explore the effects of increased acidity on the proton’s accessibility towards the reduction of oxygen gas.
Optimal Economic Growth and Turnpike Theorems
Creators: name: McKenzie, Lionel W.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1979

description: This chapter is concerned with the long-term tendencies of paths of capital accumulation that maximize, in some sense, a utility sum for society over an unbounded time span. However, the structure of the problem is characteristic of all economizing over time whether on the social scale or the scale of the individual or the firm. The mathematical methods that are used are closely allied to the old mathematical discipline, calculus of variations. The chapter discusses that the utility function depends on time, as in the standard theory of the calculus of variations. Also the function to be maximized is the sum of utility functions for each period over the future. It is described as a separable utility function over the sequence of future capital stocks and corresponds to the integral of calculus of variations. As the consumption of one period influences the utility of later consumption, the separability assumption is not exact. The treatment of utility in a period as dependent on initial and terminal stocks is not a restriction because the usual assumptions that make utility depend on consumption and consumption on production and terminal stocks implies that an equivalent utility depending on capital stocks exists. The chapter also discusses that the primary sources of the optimal growth model are aggregate savings programs and capital accumulation programs for an economy, the theorems, and methods of the subject find applications in other areas with increasing frequency.

The Effect of Uncertainty in Regulatory Delay on the Rate of Innovation
Creators: name: Braeutigam, Ronald R.

Subjects: Technological innovation, Economic regulation, Transportation regulation, Commercial regulation, Present value, Tariffs, Industrial regulation, Rivalry, Fixed costs, Business innovation

description: When a regulated firm considers the undertaking of an effort to innovate, it often faces incentives quite different from those confronting an unregulated firm. At least three types of uncertainty arise. First, will an innovative effort result in an implementable technology, and if so, when? Second, will the implementation of the technology be delayed by a regulatory authority, and if so, for how long? And finally, when the regulator permits the use of an innovation, what level of benefits will the firm ultimately receive?

subject: Clinical neuropsychology

description: Recent studies show that objectively measured neurocognition can add important information about the individual's difficulties. Also, neurocognitive functions might be helpful when evaluating the effect of different treatments for ADHD. Such a test, QbCheck, has recently been developed and can be performed on a modern laptop, which requires scientific evaluation of its functionality. Thus, this thesis reports on a series of studies designed to evaluate associations between neurocognitive and clinical outcomes of ADHD treatments.

The House Is Not a Home: M.P.'s and Their Constituencies

description: The British parliamentary system supposedly denies MPs the electoral incentive and the staff resources to engage in constituency service in the style of members of the U.S. Congress. Backbench MPs presumably aspire to ministerial office and therefore concentrate their activity on the work of the House. Case studies of 17 MPs, however, reveal that the constituency orientations of MPs are more varied than the conventional wisdom suggests, that some resemble the Homestyle of U.S. representatives, and that nearly all believe that attention to their constituents can protect them against national electoral swings. A close examination of the constituency orientations of five MPs suggests the cross-national utility of Fenno's distinction between geographical, re-election, primary, and personal constituencies and his categories of "presentation of self."

A Theory of Optimal Agenda Design
Creators: name: McKelvey, Richard D.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1980
Subjects: Voting, Information economics, Game theory, Dynamic programming, Parliamentary procedure, Logical givens, Expected utility, Social order, Meetings, Voting behavior

description: This paper formalizes the problem of designing optimal agendas for voting over finite alternative spaces, when voters are assumed to be "naive," (i.e., they do not vote strategically). The class of agendas considered here is quite broad, and includes, as special cases, such methods as pairwise voting, sequential and elimination procedures, partitioning schemes, and all binary procedures. Given individual preferences over the basic alternative space, and various assumptions about how individuals choose between subsets of alternatives, one can then formalize the problem of designing agendas as a dynamic programming problem and solve for optimal agendas, i.e., agendas having either the highest probability of leading to a given alternative or having the highest expected utility to the agenda setter. Illustrations are given showing how the methods can be applied in specific examples.

Experiments on the Core: Some Disconcerting Results for Majority Rule Voting Games

Subjects: Game theory, Majority voting, Conflict resolution, Experimentation, Majority rule, Experiment design, Political science, Endowments, Fairness, Voting paradox

description: In the context of spatial majority voting games, considerable experimental support exists for the core as a solution hypothesis when it exists (c.f. Berl, et al, 1976; Fiorina and Plott, 1978). Some recent experimentation, however, hints at possible problems in a finite alternative setting. Isaac and Plott (1978) report several such experiments in which subjects fail to adopt a core, although their experimental design uses a particular procedure of chairman control that might account for these results. Elsewhere (1979b) we report a series of vote trading experiments in which the core's success rate is less than fifty percent.
In this essay we present some additional experimental evidence to suggest that committee choice in simple majority rule games is not dictated solely by whether or not a Condorcet (core) point exists. We conclude that, in the experimental context of open and free discussion, the performance of the core is affected by the structure of alternative space, and also by the structure of the perceived dominance relation beneath the core in the social ordering.
