description: Analysis of Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope low frequency data for an X-shaped source, 3C 223.1 has revealed an unusual result. The radio morphologies of it at 240 and 610 MHz show well defined X-shape with a pair of active jets along the north-south axis and a pair of wings along the east-west axis, that pass symmetrically through the undetected radio core. The wings (or low surface brightness jets) have flatter spectral indices with respect to the high surface brightness jets, which confirms the earlier marginal result obtained at high frequency by Dennett-Thorpe et al. (2002). Although unusual, it is a valuable result which puts stringent constraints on the formation models and nature of these sources. This result clearly shows the value of mapping the sample of X-shaped sources at low frequencies.

description: By all means, What is the main food crop in Egypt, either as area-wise, as a subsistent food or due to its share in food imports bill. Therefore, it seems highly important to investigate and analyze the impacts of economic liberalization on its market structure and marketing performance. The objectives of this study included (1) The marketing channels of the wheat produced on farms, (2) The consumption pattern of the farm household, with respect to wheat and other grain substitutes, (3) The factors affecting the marketable surplus of wheat, (5) The price and sale seasonality pattern. To reach such objectives, the study used the data of a sample survey for wheat that covered the agricultural year 1995/1996. The survey conducted in three regions: two from lower Egypt (a village in Gharbia Governorate and a village from Sharkia Governorate) and one from upper Egypt (a village from Menia Governorate). The total sample size was 113 farms of different farm size classes. Another survey was conducted to cover the whole sale market. It included 14 grains' traders in the three concerned governorates. The study analysis, results and conclusions covered several issues of wheat marketing. Among these issues are : Characteristics of each region, the market structure between farm gate and processing stage, grains consumption pattern, marketing systems and functions, factors affecting the sale price and quantity sold, as well as a simulation model for wheat marketable surplus.

New relations between the minimal mean square error of the non-causal estimator and the likelihood ratio between y and ωare derived. This is followed by an extended version of a recently derived relation between the mutual information I(x;y) and the minimal mean square error. These results are applied to derive infinite dimensional versions of the Fisher information and the de Bruijn identity. The derivation of the results is based on the Malliavin calculus.

description: The study provided an econometric market model, which is composed of three estimated function for each considered commodity (red meat, poultry meat, table-eggs and milk). They simulate the demand, supply (domestic production) and imports (as a proportion of the domestic supply). Proper identification variables were introduced for demand (price and income). For supply the lag response of price was applied as identification for supply (three years for red meat and one year for other commodities). A dummy variable was inserted to reflect the impacts of the period after ecomic reform on the market behaviour. The study used the model (s) to project the market equilibrium price, at which the quantity supplied and demanded are determined in the year 2000, as well as the per capita consumption. These estimates were con¬ducted under a scenario that simulates the market economy environment. Egypt competitiveness whit respect to concerned four commodities eas tested, under the expected international prices and liberalization of nude, particularly the impacts of free imports flow on domestic production and consumer welfare.

description: Hydrogeodesy can benefit greatly from the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) displacements to analyse local changes in the hydrosphere, which the commonly used Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission is unable to provide due to coarse spatial resolution. Hydrosphere changes recorded by GPS are unfortunately hidden among the other signals to which the system is also sensitive so that the sensitivity of GPS to changes in the hydrosphere on temporal-scales from pluri-annual to decadal is questionable. We focus on hydrosphere signatures present on these long-term temporal-scales as observed by GPS through the vertical displacement time series (DTS) of 122 permanent stations over Europe and compare them to the DTS derived from GRACE for GPS locations. Our methodology is based on the weighted Savitzky-Golay (S-G) filter, an underestimated filter in the field of geodetic time series analysis. We show that the correspondence between GPS and GRACE on long-term temporal-scales is generally strong, but decreases for coastal regions and regions where the coarse gridding of GRACE does not capture local hydrosphere effects. Further, the negative correlation with El Niño Southern Oscillations (ENSO) is confirmed for Europe.
The banking bailout of the subprime crisis: size and effects

description: This paper examines government policies aimed at rescuing banks from the effects of the great financial crisis of 2007-2009. To delimit the scope of the analysis, we concentrate on the fiscal side of interventions and ignore, by design, the monetary policy reaction to the crisis. The policy response to the subprime crisis started in earnest after Lehman’s failure in mid September 2008, accelerated after February 2009, and has become very large by September 2009. Governments have relied on a portfolio of intervention tools, but the biggest commitments and outlays have been in the form of debt and asset guarantees, while purchases of bad assets have been very limited. We employ event study methodology to estimate the benefits of government interventions on banks and their shareholders. Announcements directed at the banking system as a whole (general) and at specific banks (specific) were priced by the markets as cumulative abnormal rates of return over the selected window periods. General announcements tend to be associated with positive cumulative abnormal returns and specific announcements with negative ones. General announcements exert cross-area spillovers but are perceived by the home-country banks as subsidies boosting the competitive advantage of foreign banks. Specific announcements exert spillovers on other banks. Our results are also sensitive to the information environment. Specific announcements tend to exert a positive impact on rates of return in the pre-crisis sub-period, when announcements are few and markets have relative confidence in the “normal” information flow. The opposite takes place in the turbulent crisis sub-period when announcements are the order of the day and markets mistrust the “normal” information flow. These results appear consistent with the observed reluctance of individual institutions to come forth with requests for public assistance. JEL Codes: G01, G21, N20

description: In standard quantum theory, symmetry is defined in the spirit of Klein's Erlangen Program: the background space has a symmetry group, and the basic operators should commute according to the Lie algebra of that group. We argue that the definition should be the opposite: background space has a direct physical meaning only on classical level while on quantum level symmetry should be defined by a Lie algebra of basic operators. Then the fact that de Sitter symmetry is more general than Poincare one can be proved mathematically. The problem of explaining cosmological acceleration is very difficult but, as follows from our results, there exists a scenario that the phenomenon of cosmological acceleration can be explained proceeding from basic principles of quantum theory. The explanation has nothing to do with existence or nonexistence of dark energy and therefore the cosmological constant problem and the dark energy problem do not arise. We consider finite quantum theory (FQT) where states are elements of a space over a finite ring or field with characteristic $p$ and operators of physical quantities act in this space. We prove that, with the same approach to symmetry, FQT and finite mathematics are more general than standard quantum theory and classical mathematics, respectively: the latter theories are special degenerated cases of the former ones in the formal limit $p\to\infty$.

Macroeconomic trends and reforms in Germany

Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: macroeconomy, productivity, reform, Germany
subject: E20, E61, O52

description: This paper traces the main macroeconomic developments in the German economy from national unification. Its performance is compared with that of the rest of the euro area and its largest economies. The study documents as Germany’s modest growth in the later 1990s was due to the restrictive impact on domestic demand coming from the deep restructuring and modernization of the production system, followed by sweeping reforms after the turn of the century. Rapid productivity increases and prolonged wage moderation, especially in industry, fuelled a large and mounting current account surplus in Germany, that compares with the deficits registered in most European countries. The study retraces the recent debate on how to correct those imbalances, recalling the arguments for and against the thesis that the countries with a current payments surplus, above all Germany, must also play an active role in fostering the adjustment of the deficit countries. A possible synthesis is proposed, based on an analysis of the formation of national income and the use of resources according to the national accounts system. The implication is that Germany may contribute to the correction of imbalances within the euro area not so much by altering the wage formation mechanism as by creating incentives for domestic investment, hence fostering employment creation, in the service sectors that are currently lagging behind the extraordinary perfomance of a number of core activities in the industry.

description: The objective of this study is to evaluate the market performance efficiency of rabbit projects in Egypt, as a promising sector. To achieve such objective several indicators were estimated. They include: (1) Output/Input price ratio, (2) Return per one L. E. spent on Feeds, (3) The model of Time Series analysis for Retail Prices at different market stages, (4) The response of the marketing margin between retail and whole sale stage to retail price and the response of the marketing margin between wholesale and farm-gate price to the wholesale price, (5) The spread of the consumer price L. E. over the marketing stages, (6) The demand function, where the retail price is an endogenous variable affected by per capita consumption of rabbit meat, the retail price of chicken meat as substitute and per capita income, where all prices and income level were deflated by the CPI and the problem of autocorrelation was treated by using the "Cochran-Orcutt" method. From the results it was concluded that, (1) Rabbit projects are more feasible than chicken projects, (2) There are two seasons for the farm-gate price. The first extends from (Jan.-Jul.) where the price is below the annual average, the second occupies the period (Aug.-Dec.) where the price is above the annual average, (3) Rabbit prices have being increased over the last two decades, without any cycle movements, which reflects the growth of this industry in Egypt, (4) The price relations and the price spread over the marketing stages showed that this sector suffers from monopolistic practices at wholesale stage, (5) The demand function showed that whereas the price elasticity of the substitute (chicken) is high, the income elasticity is significantly low and the per capita consumption of rabbit meat has not significant effect on its own price. This due to the current low level of consumption and the seasonality of the consumption pattern.

description: Crowdsourcing data science competitions has become popular as a cost-effective alternative to solving complex energy-related challenges. How-ever, comprehensive reviews on hosting processes remain scarce. Therefore, this paper undertakes a detailed review of 33 existing data competitions and 12 hosting platforms, complemented by an in-depth case study of the ADRENALIN load disaggregation competition. The review identifies essential elements of competition procedure, including platform selection, timeline, datasets, and submission and evaluation mechanisms. Based on proposed 16 evaluation criteria, the similarities and differences between data competition hosting platforms can be categorized into platform scoring and popularity, platform features, community engagement, open-source platforms, region-specific platforms, platform-specific purposes, and multi-purpose platforms. The case study underscores strategic planning's critical role, particularly platform selection. The case study also shows the importance of defining competition scope which influences the whole com-petition content and procedure, especially the datasets.
Investigation of effective stiffness of high-rise concrete shear walls
Creators: name: Korchinski, Aaron David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: High-rise concrete shear walls are expected to crack during an earthquake. To account for cracking when conducting linear seismic analysis an effective moment of inertia I[subscript]e; recommendations for I[subscript]e vary widely. Expressions for the upper and lower bound effective stiffness were previously developed using bilinear curves with equal area-under-the-curve as the actual nonlinear force-displacement curves determined by numerically integrating a trilinear moment-curvature model. In this thesis, the analysis tools required to study the transition between an uncracked and a severely cracked response are developed. These tools include a simplified force-displacement relationship that approximates the theoretical response better than numerical integration of a trilinear moment-curvature model. A hysteretic force-displacement model is also developed through using experimental data obtained f rom large scale wall specimen. The hysteretic model is implemented into OpenSees to allow for nonlinear time history analysis of high-rise concrete shear walls as a single-degree-of-freedom system that accounts for the effects of cracking. The maximum nonlinear displacement is used to find the effective elastic stiffness. The factor α quantifies the amount the initial stiffness of the wall needs to be reduced for an elastic system to have the same maximum displacement. A range of R values are studied by scaling the ground motions so the elastic demand is R times greater than the strength of the wall. This scaling method is verified as part of the thesis work. A suite of unmodified ground motions and a suite of modified spectrum matched ground motions are used in this study. A set of generalized walls are developed to represent the range of wall shapes, re- inforcement and axial load o f typical high-rise concrete shear walls. A preliminary nonlinear time history analysis is conducted for nineteen generalized walls using two suites of ground motions at initial periods of 2 and 4 seconds with nineteen R values ranging from 0.5 to 5.0. The results of the analysis suggest that determining effective stiffness from equal area bilinear curves has limited success. The trends in stiffness effective stiffness are remarkably similar considering the wide range of generalized walls studied. T h e initial period has greater influence on effective stiffness than the shape of the force-displacement curve. T h e effective stiffness dropped sharply for higher R values for the 2 second initial period while remain constant for the 4 second initial period.
Alexandre Lamfalussy and the origins of the BIS macro-prudential approach to financial stability

description: Among the international policy institutions, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) is known for its sensitivity to financial stability issues. Typical for the BIS is a “macro-prudential” approach. In this paper, it is argued that Alexandre Lamfalussy, who was at the BIS from 1976 to 1993, played a crucial role in shaping the BIS approach. Typical for Lamfalussy are a broad macroeconomic view and a focus on the systemically important institutions. In Lamfalussy’s view, there is thus very much an overlap between the micro- and macro-prudential dimensions of financial stability. The main reasons for his sensitivity to financial fragility were: a “Keynesian” Weltanschauung (that a market economy is not sufficiently self-correcting), the emphasis of Dupriez (his teacher) on cycles, Lamfalussy’s experience as a commercial banker, BIS involvement in financial stability issues, especially the Latin American debt crisis of 1982-83 and research on financial innovations.

description: The present issue of PSL Quarterly Review includes three articles: by Mario Sarcinelli, on the need for structural regulations on financial institutions in order to avoid a new systemic crisis; by Mario Tonveronachi, on the limits of the official regulatory responses to the current crisis; by Hossein Askari and Noureddine Krichene, on the inflationary pressures in world commodity markets stemming from expansionary monetary policy. In the aftermath of the world financial crisis, the immediate policy response was necessarily directed to re-establishing working conditions in national and international financial markets, and to set out cushions to the impact of the financial crisis on the real economy, especially on employment. Both objectives implied very strongly expansionary monetary and financial policies. It was clear from the outset, however, that such policies could not be maintained for an indefinitely long span of time. The way financial speculation operates on public and external debt imbalances – with sudden increases in risk spreads, hence increasing the cost and difficulty of debt financing – strengthens the already existing negative asymmetry in policy responses. That is, it puts strong pressure on deficit countries to adopt drastic readjustment policies which are clearly counterproductive for activity levels and employment, while surplus countries (especially those with external surpluses) do not stand equal pressure to adopt reflationary policies.

description: Fehlsichtigkeit ist in China unter Kindern aus ländlichen Räumen weit verbreitet. Mehr als 20 Prozent dieser Kinder, die noch in Dörfern leben oder mit ihren Eltern vom Land in die Stadt abgewandert sind, leiden an Kurzsichtigkeit. Eine augenheilkundliche Behandlung erfolgt oft nicht. Seit 2012 führt das Aktionsprogramm für Bildung im ländlichen Raum (REAP) das bisher größte wissenschaftlich begleitete augenheilkundliche Gesundheitsprogramm in China durch. Mehr als 20.000 Kinder in verschiedenen Teilen Chinas wurden untersucht, und rund 5.000 Brillen an Kurzsichtige ausgegeben. REAP erlaubt es erstmals, sich ein umfassendes Bild über die augenmedizinische Versorgung von Kindern aus dem ländlichen Raum zu machen, die entweder noch auf dem Dorf leben oder mit ihren Eltern abgewandert sind. Aus dem REAP-Projekt lassen sich wertvolle Erkenntnisse für die Behandlung von Fehlsichtigkeit und Maßnahmen zum Herabsetzen von Lernbarrieren gewinnen. Aufbauend auf die Ergebnisse des Projektes arbeiten Forscher derzeit mit Gemeindeverwaltungen im ländlichen Raum Chinas zusammen, um die augenheilkundliche Behandlung im Rahmen der öffentlichen Gesundheitsversorgung zu verbessern.

description: The IPCC AR6 assessment of the impacts and risks associated with projected climate changes for the 21st century is both alarming and ambiguous. According to computer projections, the global surface may warm from 1.3 to 8.0 °C by 2100, depending on the global climate model (GCM) and the shared socioeconomic pathway (SSP) scenario used for the simulations. However a substantial number of CMIP6 GCMs run "too hot" because they appear to be too sensitive to radiative forcing, and that the high/extreme emission scenarios SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5 must be rejected because judged to be "unlikely" and "highly unlikely", respectively. This paper examines the impacts and risks of "realistic" climate change projections for the 21st century generated by assessing the theoretical models and integrating them with the existing empirical knowledge on global warming and the various natural cycles of climate change that have been recorded by a variety of scientists and historians. This is achieved by combining the "realistic" SSP2-4.5 scenario and empirically optimized climate modeling. The obtained climate projections show that the expected global surface warming for the 21st century will likely be mild, that is, no more than 2.5-3.0 °C and, on average, likely below the 2.0 °C threshold. This should allow for the mitigation and management of the most dangerous climate-change-related hazards through appropriate low-cost adaptation policies. In conclusion, enforcing expensive decarbonization and net-zero emission scenarios, such as SSP1-2.6, is not required because the Paris Agreement temperature target of keeping global warming below 2 °C throughout the 21st century should be compatible also with moderate and pragmatic shared socioeconomic pathways such as the SSP2-4.5.

Past and future regulation to prevent a systemic financial crisis
Creators: name: Sarcinelli, Mario
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: introduction, financial crisis, rules
subject: E44, G1, G18, G28

description: The article is a revised and updated version of that published on the March 2010 issues of Moneta e Credito. It was there claimed that, up to now, the G20 has supervised the process to revitalize the real economy affected by the Great Recession through fiscal stimuli and a very easy monetary policy, and to rescue the battered financial system by injecting capital into giant banks and firms. The G20 is now turning its attention to financial regulation, with the FSB as its main operational arm. The ideas that are being proposed stress the need for disincentives toward too much risk taking (more capital, higher liquidity, limits to remunerations and bonuses, etc.), particularly by big and complex financial institutions that are likely to entail systemic risks. The paper maintains that, as the disincentive approach is insufficient to deter financial managers looking for power, some kind of segmentation needs to be introduced, as suggested by Paul Volcker.

Financial innovation and system design
Creators: name: Tonveronachi, Mario
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Financial Crisis, Rules, Banking System
subject: G18, G20, G28

description: The official regulatory responses to the current crisis do not alter the laissez faire approach to the production and allocation of financial risks which characterises the existing regulatory framework. The stated goal remains that of maintaining the freedom for the private sector to introduce financial innovations, whose nature is consistent with the system design pursued by the official authorities. I argue that adopting a systemic perspective the crucial point is not just the nature of innovations but their quantitative dimension and dynamics, which are responsible for the endogenous creation of financial fragility. The new official proposals do not appear capable of changing this picture. A radical revision of the regulatory approach is necessary, of which an outline is presented. JEL Codes: G18, G20, G28

Hinter ihr liegt eine abenteuerliche Reise. Sie begann nach dem gescheiterten Attentat auf Hitler am 20. Juli 1944, als Heinrich Graf von Lehndorff, der letzte Schlossherr, verhaftet und hingerichtet wurde.
Monetary policy and world commodity markets: 2000-2007

Subjects: subject: Monetary Policy, Asset Inflation, Commodity Prices

description: Expansionary monetary policy in key industrial countries and a rapidly depreciating US dollar sent commodity prices soaring at unprecedented rates during 2003–2007. In contrast, consumer price indices in major OECD countries, a leading indicator for monetary policy, showed almost no inflation. This twin development is a puzzle as the evolution of consumer prices were not responsive to record low interest rates, doubledigit commodity inflation, and a sharp depreciation of the dollar. A common trend, identified as a monetary shock, drives commodity prices. Policymakers face a policy dilemma: maintain expansionary monetary policy stance with persistent commodity price inflation, subsequent severe world recession, and financial disorder, or tighten monetary policy with subsequent sustained economic growth and financial and price stability.

subject: F3, G1, N1, B5

description: This is the first “regular” issue of PSL Quarterly Review, after the two special issues for 2008 and 2009. As an economists’ phoenix, the Review is born out of the ashes of its forerunner, the BNL Quarterly Review, after a change in ownership, from Banca Nazionale del Lavoro to the Associazione Paolo Sylos Labini. The “new” Quarterly retains the editor and the editorial board of the “old” Quarterly, and its orientation towards scientific research and debate in the field of economic theory and policy, with specific but not exclusive attention to monetary and financial issues and with no preconceived choice of field among the different schools of thought. In essence, we have a new series of an old journal. JEL Codes: F3, G1, N1, B5

Global imbalances: a gathering storm
Creators: name: Sacchetti, Ugo
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Financial Crisis, Instability, Rules
subject: E50, E60, F30, F42, G01

description: This article provides a detailed analysis of the many factors that, over a period of several years, have contributed to the international financial crisis and highlights the global imbalances, both financial and economic, that continue to pose significant threats to the stability of the world economy. The examination goes beyond looking strictly at the case of the USA to include the positions of other relevant countries, and underscores the shifting relations between the USA and the rest of the world. The pertinent geopolitical aspects are covered, followed by a discussion on possible institutional changes in international financial agencies, prospective financial problems of the USA and their implications, monetary developments, external balances, and international economic problems.

description: We consider the problem of hiding sender and receiver of classical and quantum bits (qubits), even if all physical transmissions can be monitored. We present a quantum protocol for sending and receiving classical bits anonymously, which is completely traceless: it successfully prevents later reconstruction of the sender. We show that this is not possible classically. It appears that entangled quantum states are uniquely suited for traceless anonymous transmissions. We then extend this protocol to send and receive qubits anonymously. In the process we introduce a new primitive called anonymous entanglement, which may be useful in other contexts as well.

Finitely presented modules over semihereditary rings

subject: 13E15, 13F05

description: One proves that each almost local-global semihereditary ring has the stacked basis property and is almost Bezout. If M is a finitely presented module, its torsion part tM is a direct sum of cyclic modules where the family of annhilators is an ascending chain of invertible ideals. These ideals are invariants of M. Moreover, M/tM is a direct sum of 2-generated ideals whose product is an invariant of M. The idempotents and the positive integers defined by the rank of M/tM are invariants of M too.
Future Asymptotic Behaviour of Tilted Bianchi models of type IV and VIIh

description: Using dynamical systems theory and a detailed numerical analysis, the late-time behaviour of tilting perfect fluid Bianchi models of types IV and VII$_h$ are investigated. In particular, vacuum plane-wave spacetimes are studied and the important result that the only future attracting equilibrium points for non-inflationary fluids are the plane-wave solutions in Bianchi type VII$_h$ models is discussed. A tiny region of parameter space (the loophole) in the Bianchi type IV model is shown to contain a closed orbit which is found to act as an attractor (the Mussel attractor). From an extensive numerical analysis it is found that at late times the normalised energy-density tends to zero and the normalised variables 'freeze' into their asymptotic values. A detailed numerical analysis of the type VII$_h$ models then shows that there is an open set of parameter space in which solution curves approach a compact surface that is topologically a torus.
