description: Additional file 2 : Figure S1: Analysis of assay efficiency: PCR efficiency of each gene was assessed using 10- point serial dilutions (log2) (1:2 with nuclease free water) of cDNA generated from a pooled RNA test sample. Starting concentration for GAPDH, RPLPO and FOXA1 assays was 2^3 and that of target assays was 2^6. Efficiencies of GAPDH and RPLPo (a, b); Efficiencies of FOXA1, AR. Ki67 and GATA-3 respectively (c, d,e, f). The assay was considered linear if the deviation from linearity, i.e. the difference between the best and the linear regression model, did not exceed 1 Cq value. The efficiency was calculated for each gene using the formula mentioned in supplementary methods and was ranging from 87.14 to 106%. Figure S2: Concordance between Ki67 protein and mRNA Expression. IHC was performed on 21 cases which were also positive for AR by qRT-PCR. The bar graph of the correlation analysis indicated a 62% concordance between the two methods.

description: With the elimination of foreign exchange risk among the E.M.U.-member countries, the yield of, say, French benchmark government bonds (henceforth, the yield) should be equal to that of German bonds, plus some credit and liquidity premia. Since both premia are not likely to change substantially from one day to the other, the yield should move in tandem with the German one and the corresponding spread should remain relatively stable. Yet, the yield exhibits a small but economically and statistically significant undershooting in response to changes in the German one, as a result of which the spread tends to decline when the latter increases, and vice-versa. We propose that the undershooting is the product of lagged adjustment in the European bond portfolios that is driven by liquidity considerations and, in particular, by the possibility of excessive bond-price movements in response to changes in the German yield. The empirical results are consistent with this proposition and additionally suggest that the adjustment can last for as long as four days.
The Kappa in J/Psi -> Kpplus-piminus-Kminus-piplus

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: BES II data for J/Psi->K*(890)Kpi reveal a strong kappa peak in the Kpi S-wave near threshold. Both magnitude and phase are determined in slices of Kpi mass by interferences with strong Ko(1430), K1(1270) and K1(1400) signals. The phase variation with mass agrees within errors with LASS data for Kpi elastic scattering. A combined fit is presented to both BES and LASS data. The fit uses a Breit-Wigner amplitude with an s-dependent width containing an Adler zero. The kappa pole is at 760+-20(stat)+-40(syst) - i(420+-45+-60syst) MeV. The S-wave I=0 scattering length a_0 = 0.23+-0.04 (in units of m(pi)) is close to the prediction 0.19+-0.02 of Chiral Perturbation Theory.

description: Only three years after its initial endorsement by the World Bank and the IMF in 1996, the Heavily Indebted Poor Country (HIPC) - Initiative was considerably altered and enhanced. How did this change come about? Neither developments in economic theory, nor empirical evidence of changed beneficiary behavior can explain the usefulness of this policy shift. The merits of a shift from ex-ante conditionality to process conditionality implied by the link of HIPC debt relief to the elaboration of Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSP) remain equally unclear. However, the change from the initial to the Enhanced HIPC. Initiative can easily be explained as a result of utility maximization behavior by national and international bureaucrats, politicians and NGO. A politico-economic model suggests that the overall rise of HIPC default risk and the symbolic value of the year 2000 have been the two major determinants of the policy shift. Bereits drei Jahre nach ihrer Einführung 1996 wurde die Heavily Indebted Poor Country (HIPC) . Initiative von Weltbank und IWF erheblich verändert und erweitert. Wie kam es zu diesem Wechsel? Weder neuere Entwicklungen der ökonomischen Theorie, noch empirische Befunde über ein verändertes Verhalten der Empfängerländer können den Sinn dieses politischen Kurswechsels erklären. Ebenso unklar bleibt der Nutzen aus dem Übergang von Ex-ante-Konditionalität zu Prozesskonditionalität, der durch die Verknüpfung von HIPC Schuldenerlass mit der Erarbeitung von Armutsbekämpfungsstrategiepapieren (PRSP) entstanden ist. Die Veränderungen lassen sich allerdings leicht erklären, wenn man sie als Ergebnis eines Nutzenmaximierungskalküls von nationalen und internationalen Bürokraten, Politikern und NRO betrachtet. Ein politökonomisches Modell ergibt, dass der allgemeine Anstieg des HIPC Zahlungsausfallrisikos und die symbolische Bedeutung des Milleniumjahres 2000 als zentrale Determinanten des politischen Kurswechsels betrachtet warden können.

description: The article is based on the idea that geographic proximity is an essential factor for international integration policies due to its impact on the intensity of bilateral foreign trade and growth rate. Development is analysed as a process of structural diversification, whereby the country in question runs through different stages encountering co-ordination problems at the structural change-over points. Natural integration of neighbouring countries around a pivot country is shown to be an alternative to protectionist and multilateral liberalisation policies fostering structural diversification and overcoming coordination problems.
On the effect of the inhomogeneous subsurface flows on the high degree solar p-modes

description: The observed power spectrum of high-degree solar p-modes (l>200) shows discrepancies with the power spectrum predicted by the stochastic excitement and damping theory. In an attempt to explain these discrepancies, the present paper is concerned with the influence of the observed subsurface flows on the trapped acoustic modes (p-modes). The effect of these inhomogeneous background flows is investigated by means of a non-modal analysis and a multi-layer model. It is shown that the rotational and meridional components of the velocity field change the wavelengths of the oscillation modes which, in turn, results in modifications of the corresponding modal frequencies. The magnitudes of the frequency residuals depend on the spatial scales of the modes and on the gradients of the different components of the flow velocity. Together with other mechanisms (e.g. the scattering of modes by the large scale convection (Goldreich & Murray 1994), the non-modal effect of the variation of the frequencies in time may contribute: 1) to the observed widening of the corresponding peaks in the observed power spectrum with increasing angular degree; 2) to the partial dissipation of spectral power, and, as a result, 3) to the discrepancies between the predicted and the observed power spectrum of solar p-modes.

description: Econometric analysis of convergence processes across countries or regions usually refers to a transition period between an arbitrary chosen starting year and a fictitious steady state. Panel unit root tests and panel cointegration techniques have proved to belong to powerful econometric tools if the conditions are met. When referring to economically defined regions, though, it is rather an exception than the rule that coherent time series are available. For this case we introduce a dynamic spatial modelling approach which is suitable to trace regional adjustment processes in space instead of time. It is shown how the spatial error-correction mechanism (SEC model) can be estimated depending on the spatial stationarity properties of the variables under investigation. The dynamic spatial modelling approach presented in this paper is applied to the issue of conditional income and productivity convergence across labour market regions in unified Germany.
Relationship between Trade Liberalisation, Growth and Balance of Payments in Developing Countries: An Econometric Study

description: The objectives of this paper are to study the impact of liberalisation on trade deficits and current accounts of developing countries. It is expected that trade liberalisation would promote economic growth from the supply side by leading to a more efficient use of resources, by encouraging competition, and by increasing the flow of ideas and knowledge across national boundaries. Trade liberalisation could lead to faster import growth than export growth and hence the supply side benefits may be offset by the unsustainable balance of payments position. This study uses panel data of 42 countries (both time-series and cross-section dimension) to estimate the effect of trade liberalisation and growth on trade balance while controlling for other factors such as income terms of trade. The major finding of the study is that trade liberalization promotes growth in most cases, (Part 1 of this study) the growth itself has a negative impact on trade balance and this in turn could have negative impacts on growth through deterioration in trade balance and adverse terms of trade. Our conclusion is that trade liberalisation could constrain growth through adverse impact on balance of payments.

description: This paper discusses the nature, importance, and measurement of non-tariff barriers (NTBs) in services trade with particular reference to telecommunications services. It is shown that although more effectively addressed for the telecom sector at the multilateral level than for other service sectors, NTBs are still widespread and would appear to have a large potential for restricting trade in services. The paper reviews the scope and classification of non-tariff barriers to services trade and sets out an alternative typology for their classification, highlighting the fact that NTBs may be either government-imposed, may result from non-competitive market structures, or from the absence of appropriate regulation. The latter is shown to constitute one of the most important sources of NTBs in network industries, such as telecommunications services. Attempts by the relevant literature to measure NTBs in telecommunications are summarized and their usefulness in identifying "appropriate" policy mixes is commented. Lastly, the paper probes the question of whether existing multilateral and regional instruments and agreements are adequate to deal with the non-tariff phenomenon in the telecom sector in its several dimensions. Dieses Papier behandelt das Wesen, die Bedeutung und die Messung nicht-tarifärer Handelsbeschränkungen (NTBs) im Dienstleistungshandel, unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Telekommunikationsdienstleistungen. Es zeigt, dass NTBs, obwohl sie in der Telekommunikation auf der multilateralen Ebene wirksamer angegangen wurden als in anderen Dienstleistungsbereichen, noch immer weit verbreitet sind und den Dienstleistungshandel potentiell stark beeinträchtigen. Das Papier beschreibt die Erscheinungsformen und die Klassifikation nicht-tarifärer Handelsschranken im Dienstleistungshandel. Es stellt ein alternatives Klassifikationsschema vor, das von der Beobachtung ausgeht, dass NTBs entweder von Regierungen eingeführt sein können, oder auf monopolistischen Marktstrukturen basieren, oder Ergebnis unzureichender Regulierungen sind. Gezeigt wird, dass der letztgenannte Tatbestand eine der wichtigsten Quellen von NTBs in Netzwerkindustrien, wie der Telekommunikation, ist. Das Papier gibt einen Überblick über die Literatur zur Messung nicht-tarifärer Handelsschranken in der Telekommunikation und kommentiert ihre Brauchbarkeit für die Entwicklung geeigneter "policy mixes". Schließlich wird geprüft, ob die existierenden multilateralen und regionalen Instrumente und Vereinbarungen ausreichend sind, um mit dem vielschichtigen Problem der nicht-tarifären Hemmnisse im Telekommunikationssektor umzugehen.

The intersection of class, race, ethnicity, gender and migration : subtitle a case study of Hong Kong Chinese immigrant women entrepreneurs in Richmond, British Columbia
Creators: name: Chiang, Frances Shiu-Ching
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation reports on a case study of fifty-eight Hong Kong Chinese immigrant women entrepreneurs in Richmond, British Columbia, documenting their experiences during the process of entrepreneurship after immigration. Semi-structured interviews were conducted between the summer of 1996 and January of 1997. Drawing from the literature of ethnic/immigrant entrepreneurship, women entrepreneurship and the intersectional approach, this dissertation explores the complexity and diversity of entrepreneurial experiences in terms of the intersection of class, race, ethnicity, gender and immigration. It delineates the entrepreneurial project by detailing the process from immigration to business start-up, and to running the business. First, this study documents how these immigrant women's entrepreneurial projects were rooted in history, responding to both the cultural and structural impacts of Confucian patriarchy and paternalism, colonialism, imperialism and capitalism. Secondly, this research outlines, discusses and analyzes their entrepreneurial pursuits by documenting the uneven and diverse impact of racialization, ethnicization, gendering and class-ification. Finally, the study investigates how the social divisions of class, race, ethnicity, gender and migration intersect in different ways, as resources and barriers, to produce and reproduce diverse social relations embedded in entrepreneurship. In general, the study found that these women's entrepreneurial projects were more socially embedded than economically motivated, which suggested the primacy of status over class. The impact of co-ethnic informal networks was also noted to be substantial during every stage of the entrepreneurial project. Particularly noticeable as well was the overall insensitivity to gender barriers among these entrepreneurial women.

description: To understand the reasons for the formation of regional economic groupings two basic concepts are introduced: association and dissociation. Moreover, the importance of interest groups and strategic groups is discussed, and security and bargaining power as basic political motivations are evaluated. The paper also analyses some political economy arguments regarding the determinants of the size of economic groupings and the dynamics of their development through different stages. Finally it considers regional groupings as strategical coalitions with a deep impact on the future of the world economy. Um die Ursachen für die Entstehung regionaler ökonomischer Gruppierungen zu verstehen werden zwei grundlegende Konzepte eingeführt: Absonderung und bedingte Gruppenbindung. Darüber hinaus wird die Bedeutung von Interessengruppen und strategischen Gruppen diskutiert und Sicherheit und Verhandlungsmacht werden als grundlegende politische Motivationen bewertet. Das Papier analysiert ebenfalls einige polit-ökonomische Argumente hinsichtlich der Determinanten für die Größe ökonomischer Gruppierungen und der Dynamik ihrer Entwicklung durch verschiedene Stadien. Schließlich werden regionale Gruppierungen als strategische Koalitionen begriffen, die die Zukunft der Weltwirtschaft stark beeinflussen.

description: The hybrid organic inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) have attracted much attention for their potential applications as novel optoelectronic devices. Remarkably, the Rashba band splitting, together with specific spin orientations in k space (i.e., spin texture), has been found to be relevant for the optoelectronic performances. In this work, by using first principles calculations and symmetry analyses, we study the electric polarization, magnetism, and spin texture properties of the antiferromagnetic (AFM) HOIP ferroelectric TMCM_MnCl3 (TMCM = (CH3)3NCH2Cl, trimethylchloromethyl ammonium). This recently synthesized compound is a prototype of order disorder and displacement-type ferroelectric with a large piezoelectric response, high ferroelectric transition temperature, and excellent photoluminescence properties [You et al., Science 357, 306 (2017)]. The most interesting result is that the inversion symmetry breaking coupled to the spin orbit coupling gives rise to a Rashba-like band splitting and a related robust persistent spin texture (PST) and/or typical spiral spin texture, which can be manipulated by tuning the ferroelectric or, surprisingly, also by the AFM magnetic order parameter. The tunability of spin texture upon switching of AFM order parameter is largely unexplored and our findings not only provide a platform to understand the physics of AFM spin texture but also support the AFM HOIP ferroelectrics as a promising class of optoelectronic materials.

description: The classic algorithms of Needleman--Wunsch and Smith--Waterman find a maximum a posteriori probability alignment for a pair hidden Markov model (PHMM). In order to process large genomes that have undergone complex genome rearrangements, almost all existing whole genome alignment methods apply fast heuristics to divide genomes into small pieces which are suitable for Needleman--Wunsch alignment. In these alignment methods, it is standard practice to fix the parameters and to produce a single alignment for subsequent analysis by biologists. Our main result is the construction of a whole genome parametric alignment of Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila pseudoobscura. Parametric alignment resolves the issue of robustness to changes in parameters by finding all optimal alignments for all possible parameters in a PHMM. Our alignment draws on existing heuristics for dividing whole genomes into small pieces for alignment, and it relies on advances we have made in computing convex polytopes that allow us to parametrically align non-coding regions using biologically realistic models. We demonstrate the utility of our parametric alignment for biological inference by showing that cis-regulatory elements are more conserved between Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila pseudoobscura than previously thought. We also show how whole genome parametric alignment can be used to quantitatively assess the dependence of branch length estimates on alignment parameters. The alignment polytopes, software, and supplementary material can be downloaded at http://bio.math.berkeley.edu/parametric/.

description: The cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells plays several crucial roles. In terms of intracellular transport, motor proteins use the cytoskeletal filaments as a backbone along which they can actively transport biological cargos such as vesicles carrying biochemical reactants. Crossings between such filaments constitute a key element, as they may serve to alter the destination of such payload. Although motor proteins are known to display a rich behaviour at such crossings, the latter have so far only been modelled as simple branching points. Here we explore a model for a crossing between two microtubules which retains the individual tracks consisting of protofilaments, and we construct a schematic representation of the transport paths. We study collective transport exemplified by the Totally Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process (TASEP), and provide a full analysis of the transport features and the associated phase diagram, by a generic mean-field approach which we confirm through particle-based stochastic simulations. In particular we show that transport through such a compound crossing cannot be approximated from a coarse-grained structure with a simple branching point. Instead, it gives rise to entirely new and counterintuitive features: the fundamental current-density relation for traffic flow is no longer a single-valued function, and it furthermore differs according to whether it is observed upstream or downstream from the crossing. We argue that these novel features may be directly relevant for interpreting experimental measurements.

description: The USDA's National Organic Program (NOP), with its unified definition and labeling requirements, holds great promise for increasing commerce in and decreasing transaction costs associated with purchasing organic food. However, the label and its meaning must both be well understood and reflect the traits consumers want if this promise is to be realized. This paper reports the results of a survey and experimental auction on consumers' preferences for organic standards. On one hand, the USDA NOP's Final Rule broadly conforms to consumer preferences regarding what practices should or should not be permitted in organic production and processing. Consumers support a strict definition of organic in general, opposing the use of a variety of practices historically banned by organic certifiers. For example, both the survey and auction methods found that consumers support the banning of Genetically Modified Organisms in organic food and are willing to pay a premium to avoid them. Consumers are also in accord with the Final Rule's exclusion of irradiation, biosolids, growth regulators, etc. On the other hand, the survey and auction results reveal a lack of understanding of the label's meaning as well as a disconnect between the label's function (detailing acceptable production practices) and consumers' stated motivations for buying organic (e.g., support for a local sustainable food system). Implications of these findings for decision makers in policy and industry are discussed. Of particular focus will be the role of these agents in promoting products that allow consumers to purchase items that reflect and support these values.

description: We have found that encapsulated atoms in fullerene molecules, which carry a spin, can be used for fast quantum computing. We describe the scheme for performing quantum computations, going through the preparation of the qubit state and the realization of a two-qubit quantum gate. When we apply a static magnetic field to each encased spin, we find out the ideal design for the preparation of the quantum state. Therefore, adding to our system a time dependent magnetic field, we can perform a phase-gate. The operational time related to a $π-$phase gate is of the order of $ns$. This finding shows that, during the decoherence time, which is proportional to $μs$, we can perform many thousands of gate operations. In addition, the two-qubit state which arises after a $π-$gate is characterized by a high degree of entanglement. This opens a new avenue for the implementation of fast quantum computation.

description: As organic agriculture evolves from a movement to an industry, the organic label is increasingly disconnected from the founding spirit of organic, which is now more associated with the broader term sustainable agriculture. Increased competition due to the "commodification" of organic agriculture poses challenges to sustainable organic farmers in the Northeast U.S. This paper discusses the options for creating and maintaining niche markets by providing information on "process" attributes to consumers who wish to support a more sustainable food system, including labeling alternatives and the role of government. It concludes with a discussion of the prospects for this movement and research needs for the future.

description: It has recently been shown that the M theory lift of a IIA 4D BPS Calabi-Yau black hole is a 5D BPS black hole spinning at the center of a Taub-NUT-flux geometries, and a certain linear relation between 4D and 5D BPS partition functions was accordingly proposed. In the present work we fortify and enrich this proposal by showing that the M-theory lift of the general 4D multi-black hole geometry are 5D black rings in a Taub-NUT-flux geometry.

description: In this work, the gas infall and the formation of outflows around low and high mass protostars are investigated. A radial self-similar approach to model the transit of the molecular gas around the central object is employed. We include gravitational and radiative fields to produce heated pressure-driven outflows with magneto-centrifugal acceleration and collimation. Outflow solutions with negligible or vanishing magnetic field are reported. They indicate that thermodynamics is a sufficient engine to generate an outflow. The magnetized solutions show dynamically significant differences in the axial region, precisely where the radial velocity and collimation are the largest. They compare quantitatively well with observations. The influence of the opacity on the transit solutions is also studied. It is found that, when dust is not the dominant coolant, such as in the primordial universe, mass infall rates have substantial larger values in the equatorial region. This suggests that star forming in a dust-free environment should be able to accrete much more mass and become more massive than present day protostars.It is also suggested that molecular outflows may be dominated by the global transit of material around the protostar during the very early stages of star formation, especially in the case of massive or dust-free star formation.

description: Amorphous/crystalline nanolaminate composites have aroused extensive research interest because of their high strength and good plasticity. In this paper, the nanoindentation behavior of Cu₆₄Zr₃₆/Cu amorphous/crystalline nanolaminates (ACNLs) is investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation while giving special attention to the plastic processes occurring at the interface. The load–displacement curves of ACNLs reveal small fluctuations associated with shear transformation zone (STZ) activation in the amorphous layer, whereas larger fluctuations associated with dislocations emission occur in the crystalline layer. During loading, local STZ activation occurs and the number of STZs increases as the indentation depth in the amorphous layer increases. These STZs are mostly located around the indenter, which correlates to the high stresses concentrated around the indenter. When the indenter penetrates the crystalline layer, dislocations emit from the interface of amorphous/crystalline, and their number increases with increasing indentation depth. During unloading, the overall number of STZs and dislocations decreases, while other new STZs and dislocations become activated. These results are discussed in terms of stress distribution, residual stresses, indentation rate and indenter radius.

description: A central feature of many models of location choice - whether of firms or households, within or across cities - is the role of local interactions or spillovers, whereby the payoffs from choosing a location depend in part on the number or attributes of other individuals or firms that choose the same or nearby locations in equilibrium. The main goal of this paper is to develop the equilibrium properties of a broadly applicable and readily estimable class of sorting models that allow the location decision to depend on both fixed local attributes (including unobserved attributes) and such local interactions. In particular, we prove uniqueness in the case of congestion effects and use a series of simulations to demonstrate that a unique equilibrium is more likely to obtain (i) the smaller are any agglomeration effects, (ii) the larger are the set of choices available to the agents, (iii) the more "meaningful variation" there is in those choices, and (iv) the more heterogeneous are the agents themselves. This is encouraging for the use of our model to describe the sorting of individuals and firms over geographic space, where the number of choices is usually large and variation in exogenous fixed attributes can be important. Moreover, these results conveniently coincide with the conditions required for econometric identification of our model.
Nonradial mode excitation as the cause of the Blazhko effect in RR Lyrae stars

description: A significant fraction of RR Lyrae stars exhibits amplitude and/or phase modulation known as the the Blazhko effect. The oscillation spectra suggest that, at least in most of the cases, excitation of nonradial modes in addition to the dominant radial modes is responsible for the effect. Though model calculations predict that nonradial modes may be excited, there are problems with explaining their observed properties in terms of finite amplitude development of the linear instability. We propose a scenario, which like some previous, postulates energy transfer from radial to nonradial modes, but avoids those problems. The scenario predicts lower amplitudes in Blazhko stars. We check this prediction with a new analysis of the Galactic bulge RR Lyrae stars from OGLE-II database. The effect is seen, but the amplitude reduction is smaller than predicted.

description: This paper explores the two-way relationships between Economic Growth (EG) and Human Development (HD), building on an earlier work by Ranis, Stewart, and Ramirez (2000). Here, we show that HD is not only a product of EG but also an important input to it. The paper develops new empirical strategies to estimate the strength of the two-way chains connecting HD and EG. Building on existing growth literature, we explore the empirical determinants of positive growth trajectories running from HD to EG and find that HD plays an essential role in explaining growth trajectories. Our findings point to the empirical relevance of endogenous growth models in general, and threshold effect models in particular. We also develop a measure of the strength of the EG to HD relationship and explore some of its empirical determinants. A strong sequencing implication of our findings is that HD must be given priority for the achievement of both higher EG as well as HD.
