description: The scanning electrical mobility spectrometer (SEMS), or scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS), uses the differential mobility analyzer (DMA) operated in scanning mode to measure particle size distribution rapidly. To obtain the actual size distribution, the real-time transfer function (transmission efficiency of particles of different mobilities) is necessary, which has previously been investigated with numerical simulations or semi-analytical calculations. We present here a rigorous derivation of the diffusional DMA transfer function for an increasing-voltage scan based on analytically resolving particle trajectories between the instrument inlet and the outlet. This requires a 2D integration in the inlet and outlet space over the contour plot of the particle mobility distribution that can successfully transmit through the scanning DMA. For the first time, we show that the up-scan DMA transfer function for non-diffusive particles is trapezoidal (instead of triangular). The key parameter that determines the shape of the scanning DMA transfer function is the ratio of the characteristic scanning time to the average residence time, which yields the same transfer function as that for the static DMA when the ratio gets sufficiently large. The effect of particle diffusion is included via an extended outlet. The dimensionless equations for the trajectories and the method presented here can be generalized to the column DMA of any geometry. Copyright © 2020 American Association for Aerosol Research
Selective credit policy: Italy’s recent experience
Creators: name: PADOA-SCHIOPPA, T.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Italy, selective credit policy, growth ceilings, monetary policy, control, distribution
subject: E51, E52

description: In 1973 and 1974, a selective credit policy was introduced in Italy with two provisions: one prescribed fixed minimum purchases of securities for the banks, the other placed growth ceilings on certain categories of loans. This article does not judge Italy’s experience of selective controls, but rather seeks to explain some of the facts and concepts necessary in order to understand this phase in monetary policy. The author first looks at the indirect instruments of Italian monetary control and the distribution of credit. The effects of selective controls are then dealt with, including the advantages, the modus operandi and the criticisms. Finally, the measures taken in 1973-74 and their direct and indirect effects are considered. JEL: E51, E52

The financial development of Yugoslavia
Creators: name: GOLDSMITH, R.W.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Yugoslavia, financial structure, development, central planning, financial system
subject: G10, G20, N24

description: Yugoslavia is of particular interest for the comparative study of financial structure and development as it is the only country to combine a substantial degree of central planning and the ownership of most of the means of production by the state with a true financial system. Yugoslavia thus provides a unique opportunity to observe the adaptation of a financial system to conditions which in many respects are quite different from those in the West and in much of the Third World. The author first sketches the changes in economic organisation since 1945 and summarises the features of the infrastructure of the Yugoslav economy. A review of the trends of money, prices and interest rates over the last quarter century is then provided as well as a description of the main types of financial institutions and instruments. A brief discussion of the method of financing the main sectors follows as well as an attempt at constructing a rough balance sheet of the economy for the years 1952, 1962 and 1972. JEL: G10, G20, N24

Alternative exchange-rate systems: another look at the Modigliani-Askari analysis

Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review

Subjects: subject: Exchange rate regimes, floating rates, sliding parities, fixed rates
subject: E42

description: For better or for worse the world has drifted into a system of managed floating exchange rates. However, despite a series of economic and political shocks, the experience with floating rates has been reassuring. Recent history provides an interesting backdrop to the Modigliani-Askari argument for short-run “exchange-rate fixity”, coupled with long-run “exchange-rate variability”. Their case for sliding parities, as compared with either floating rates or infrequently-adjusted fixed rates, is new and thought provoking. Nonetheless, the present work argues that this case fails to withstand careful examination. According to the authors, reasonably clean floating rates remain the superior option. JEL: E42

Craig Interpolation with Clausal First-Order Tableaux
Creators: name: Wernhard, Christoph
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Logic in Computer Science (cs.LO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We develop foundations for computing Craig-Lyndon interpolants of two given formulas with first-order theorem provers that construct clausal tableaux. Provers that can be understood in this way include efficient machine-oriented systems based on calculi of two families: goal-oriented such as model elimination and the connection method, and bottom-up such as the hypertableau calculus. We present the first interpolation method for first-order proofs represented by closed tableaux that proceeds in two stages, similar to known interpolation methods for resolution proofs. The first stage is an induction on the tableau structure, which is sufficient to compute propositional interpolants. We show that this can linearly simulate different prominent propositional interpolation methods that operate by an induction on a resolution deduction tree. In the second stage, interpolant lifting, quantified variables that replace certain terms (constants and compound terms) by variables are introduced. We justify the correctness of interpolant lifting (for the case without built-in equality) abstractly on the basis of Herbrand's theorem and for a different characterization of the formulas to be lifted than in the literature. In addition, we discuss various subtle aspects that are relevant for the investigation and practical realization of first-order interpolation based on clausal tableaux.

description: The article is a brief response to Goldstein and Cohn’s paper on alternative exchange-rate systems in which empirical evidence is exhibited which does not favour either fixed or floating rates in dampening the effect of a disturbance to the rest of the world. From this result, they argue for a “reasonably clean floating rates”. The authors argue that the usefulness of Goldstein and Cohn’s results is somewhat limited by the simple model that they use. More importantly, they neglect to show any reason why the authors’ other propositions would not lend some support to a system of sliding parities. JEL: E42

The future exchange rate regime

Subjects: subject: Exchange rate regime, reform, world monetary relations, floating, crawling, par values
subject: E42, F33

description: When the Committee of Twenty decided to rename the exchange-rate regime rather than reform it, some two weeks after the system had collapsed, it immediately became clear that the ambitious attempt to write a new monetary constitution for the world had failed. If future attempts to reform world monetary relations are not to be equally doomed to failure, a primary requirement is a more realistic approach to this central issue. Accordingly, this paper is devoted to a consideration of the type of approach that wold be required. The author considers what solutions are feasible, managed floating versus crawling par values, the reference rate proposal and reference rates as the basis for a reformed system. JEL: E42, F33

The essential conditions for international economic stability

Subjects: subject: Inflation, unemployment, Bretton Woods system, trade war, international monetary arrangements
subject: E31, E24, E42, F33

description: The third quarter of the 20th century has given us what is probably the greatest growth of real income the world has ever seen in a like period. Nevertheless, there has been one major problem in many countries: the dilemma of an unacceptable and apparently accelerating rate of price increase in the face of an uncomfortable level of unemployment. This dilemma underlies both the poor performance of the Bretton Woods system in recent years and the sharp escalation of the trade war. In this context, the present work considers the direct and indirect effects that one nation’s actions are likely to have on other nations. The author proposes a model to explain both the strength and the persistence of inflationary pressures throughout the world and the difficulties major nations face in reconciling their views on international monetary and trade arrangements.

The transubstantiation of Henry Darger
Creators: name: Shields, Faith Ann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Henry Darger (1892-1973), incarcerated as a boy, isolated and unknown during his life, has, in death, become one of the world's most well-known outsider artists. What do the work, life and afterlife of Henry Darger tell us about the ways normative society, and the disabled themselves, deal with mental disability? I claim there is something about disability--in this case psychological disability--that is challenging to the normative "healthy" person or social institution. Some of those challenges are obvious and practical; some are more metaphysical. Darger embodied both kinds of challenge: while alive he made strange noises, refused to bathe and avoided social interaction. When dead, he left a legacy of images and text that fascinates us, that we seek to enjoy and profit from, but which is also unsettling and even horrifying. I examine Darger's life and work, in the context of his psychological disability, and some social and critical strategies applied to him. This thesis details how critics, curators, academics and helping professionals used, and continue to use, a series of strategies: political/bureaucratic, religious/theological, and aesthetic/commodifying to dissolve the discomfort Henry Darger's presence and work created and still creates for us.

description: This paper evaluates the dynamic impact of various policies adopted by US states on the growth rates of confirmed Covid-19 cases and deaths as well as social distancing behavior measured by Google Mobility Reports, where we take into consideration people's voluntarily behavioral response to new information of transmission risks. Our analysis finds that both policies and information on transmission risks are important determinants of Covid-19 cases and deaths and shows that a change in policies explains a large fraction of observed changes in social distancing behavior. Our counterfactual experiments suggest that nationally mandating face masks for employees on April 1st could have reduced the growth rate of cases and deaths by more than 10 percentage points in late April, and could have led to as much as 17 to 55 percent less deaths nationally by the end of May, which roughly translates into 17 to 55 thousand saved lives. Our estimates imply that removing non-essential business closures (while maintaining school closures, restrictions on movie theaters and restaurants) could have led to -20 to 60 percent more cases and deaths by the end of May. We also find that, without stay-at-home orders, cases would have been larger by 25 to 170 percent, which implies that 0.5 to 3.4 million more Americans could have been infected if stay-at-home orders had not been implemented. Finally, not having implemented any policies could have led to at least a 7 fold increase with an uninformative upper bound in cases (and deaths) by the end of May in the US, with considerable uncertainty over the effects of school closures, which had little cross-sectional variation.

subject: E31, F32

description: The work seeks to forecast future developments in the United Kingdom economy by identifying some of the more significant and influential factors operating now or likely to be relevant in the years ahead. It is maintained that unless the most highly industrialised countries in the world do bring inflation under control, there will be a major financial and economic crash. Furthermore, it is assumed that there will be continuing pressure on the balance of payments. The author attempts to establish the kind of economic climate likely to be found in Britain over the next 10 to 20 years, beginning with expectations regarding the continuance of inflation.

A re-evaluation of financial targets

Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Optimal monetary policy, financial targets, monetary authorities
subject: E52

description: In recent years there has been much debate concerning necessary conditions for an optimal monetary policy. In his interesting article Evaluation of Financial Targets in Six Countries, Argy presents an analytical framework in which to evaluate diverse financial targets based on a variety of assumptions. The present paper investigates the characteristics of diverse targets under alternative, more reasonable, assumptions on the preferences of the monetary authorities. Some of the limitations of Argy’s analysis are retained, but it is shown that by relaxing some of its strictures, more useful criteria for the formulation of monetary policy can be obtained. JEL: E52

Context-Oriented Behavioral Programming
Creators: name: Elyasaf, Achiya
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Software Engineering (cs.SE)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Modern systems require programmers to develop code that dynamically adapts to different contexts, leading to the evolution of new context-oriented programming languages. These languages introduce new software-engineering challenges, such as: how to maintain and keep the separation of concerns of the codebase? how to model the changing behaviors? how to verify the system behavior? and more. This paper introduces Context-Oriented Behavioral Programming(COBP) - a novel paradigm for developing context-aware systems, centered on natural and incremental specification of context-dependent behaviors. As the name suggests, we combine behavioral-programming(BP) - a scenario-based modeling paradigm - with context idioms that explicitly specify when scenarios are relevant and what information they need. The core idea is to connect the behavioral model with a data model that represents the context, allowing an intuitive connection between the models via update and select queries. Combining behavioral-programming with context-oriented programming brings the best of the two worlds, solving issues that arise when using each of the approaches in separation. We begin with providing abstract semantics for COBP, laying the foundations for applying reasoning algorithms to context-aware behavioral programs. We then exemplify the semantics with formal specifications of systems, including a variant of Conway's Game of Life. Finally, we present a JavaScript-based implementation of the paradigm and provide two case studies of real-life context-aware systems (one in robotics and another in IoT) that were developed using this tool. Throughout the examples and case studies, we provide design patterns and a methodology for coping with the above challenges.

How do "invisible" stimuli influence action? : Visuomotor processing in the absence of conscious awareness
Creators: name: Cressman, Erin K.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The goal of the current research was to examine the properties of visuomotor processing occurring in the absence of conscious awareness. Specifically, we investigated the ability of a subliminal stimulus to influence the on-line control of an action (Studies 1 and 2) and the extent to which the same subliminal stimulus could influence action when the probability of it predicting the upcoming response was manipulated (Studies 3 and 4). In order to display stimuli subliminally, stimuli were presented through the psychophysical procedure of metacontrast masking - a form of backward masking in which the visibility of a briefly displayed visual stimulus (the prime ) is greatly reduced when it is followed by a second visual stimulus (the mask ). Thus in the present research we were interested in how the primes would influence performance. Results revealed that (1) unconscious visuomotor processing can result in the modification of an overt response, such that a goal-directed movement is adjusted in response to a subliminal stimulus and (2) the visuomotor system can be modified in response to manipulations of the prime-mask sequence presented at an unconscious level. These results imply that subliminal stimuli are not processed in a conditionally automatic manner. In order to explain the ability of subliminal stimuli to influence behaviour we propose an accumulator model, in which adaptations to the state of the system arising due to task constraints are reflected at the level of response activation (i.e. at the accumulators). An "accumulator" is tuned to a specific stimulus-response mapping such that if participants are instructed to make a left or right response, two separate accumulators are established with one collecting neural evidence for stimuli mapped to the left response and the other collecting neural evidence for stimuli mapped to the right response. Both primes and masks are equally effective at driving the accumulators and a response is initiated as soon as the accumulated neural evidence for one response versus the alternative response reaches a critical threshold. The level of this threshold can be set strategically, or modified without awareness, depending on the prime-mask sequence displayed.

Estimating Basis Functions in Massive Fields under the Spatial Mixed Effects Model

description: Spatial prediction is commonly achieved under the assumption of a Gaussian random field (GRF) by obtaining maximum likelihood estimates of parameters, and then using the kriging equations to arrive at predicted values. For massive datasets, fixed rank kriging using the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm for estimation has been proposed as an alternative to the usual but computationally prohibitive kriging method. The method reduces computation cost of estimation by redefining the spatial process as a linear combination of basis functions and spatial random effects. A disadvantage of this method is that it imposes constraints on the relationship between the observed locations and the knots. We develop an alternative method that utilizes the Spatial Mixed Effects (SME) model, but allows for additional flexibility by estimating the range of the spatial dependence between the observations and the knots via an Alternating Expectation Conditional Maximization (AECM) algorithm. Experiments show that our methodology improves estimation without sacrificing prediction accuracy while also minimizing the additional computational burden of extra parameter estimation. The methodology is applied to a temperature data set archived by the United States National Climate Data Center, with improved results over previous methodology.

title: Circularity on the periphery: exploring the circular economy in rural and peripheral geographies
Creators: name: LeDrew, Rebecca
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2021

description: The prevailing wisdom about the Circular Economy (CE) is that it is a largely technical and industrial endeavour, one that is centred in major urban cores. Recent scholarship has highlighted the need for more critical social sciences research on the topic to illuminate the human and social dimensions of CE. Heeding the call for more social sciences voices in the field of CE research, my thesis offers a qualitative perspective on small-scale stories of circular innovations in the Netherlands and Scotland. In particular, I focus on peripheral spaces in these countries; in the case of Scotland, this entailed an exploration of CE in and around the postindustrial city of Dundee and in the Netherlands, the research was more rural-focused. Drawing on thematic concepts like ethical consumerism, daily practice and institutional/political/social linkages, as well as scholarship focusing on peripherality and the scalar dimensions of sustainability transitions, this work offers an in-depth examination of the complex dynamics that underscore particular CE initiatives. More specifically, my research reveals that CE projects are diverse and site-specific in nature, therefore indicating that a blanket approach to CE is likely to be very ineffective. My findings emphasize the need to examine small-scale circular narratives to better understand what factors facilitate or inhibit their implementation. The smallness of these projects is to their advantage as smaller, peripheral actors are more likely to leverage creativity and innovative thinking, as they do not have to implement their projects across a wide geographical area. Their size also allows researchers to observe more clearly the various dynamics at play. The purpose of such studies is not meant to be didactic, but rather their intention should be to stimulate broader thinking about what the CE can mean across a multiplicity of contexts.
Inflation, recession and the burden of private debt

Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Debt, inflation, balance sheet problems, recession, cyclical decline
subject: E31, F32, E32

description: The paper seeks to show that sectoral balance-sheet positions can develop along unstable lines as a result of both long-term and special short-term factors. The emergence of balance-sheet problems may therefore render an economy more vulnerable than usual to cyclical decline. This does not mean that a sharp recession may become unavoidable, but it does have important implications for the mix and strength of macro-economic policy. Attention is focused mainly on debt relationships in the United States, but its conclusions are based partly on comparisons with debt behaviour in Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom.

description: The comparative effectiveness of monetary policy versus fiscal policy persists as a subject of widely noted discussion, and recently apparently conflicting hypothesis have been offered to explain the relative potency of each of these policies. The present article reexamines this issue, placing the current controversy in perspective by bringing to bear pertinent work in public-finance theory as well as in monetary theory. In so doing, the author finds that not only is a reconciliation between Monetarism and Fiscalism possible but that, in the crucial case of the antidote to depression, Monetarism and Fiscalism coincide.

description: In the context of planar holography, integrability plays an important role for solving certain massless quantum field theories such as N=4 SYM theory. In this letter we show that integrability also features in the building blocks of massive quantum field theories. At one-loop order we prove that all massive n-gon Feynman integrals in generic spacetime dimensions are invariant under a massive Yangian symmetry. At two loops similar statements can be proven for graphs built from two n-gons. At generic loop order we conjecture that all graphs cut from regular tilings of the plane with massive propagators on the boundary are invariant. We support this conjecture by a number of numerical tests for higher loops and legs. The observed Yangian extends the bosonic part of the massive dual conformal symmetry that was found a decade ago on the Coulomb branch of N=4 SYM theory. By translating the Yangian level-one generators from dual to original momentum space, we introduce a massive generalization of momentum space conformal symmetry. Even for non-dual conformal integrals this novel symmetry persists. The Yangian can thus be understood as the closure of massive dual conformal symmetry and this new massive momentum space conformal symmetry, which suggests an interpretation via AdS/CFT. As an application of our findings, we bootstrap the hypergeometric building blocks for examples of massive Feynman integrals.

subject: G21, G10

description: From an American point of view, the existence of combines of banking and industrial firms is perhaps the most striking structural feature of the Japanese economic system. Japan’s conspicuous economic growth in the 1950s and 1960s has thus raised a question about the prohibition on conglomerate activities for bank holding companies in the United States. The present paper examines the experience of the Japanese combines during the 1950s and 1960s in light of the adverse effects which have motivated the restrictive United States legislation on conglomerate bank holding companies. The author first looks briefly at some important differences between the postwar combines and the zaibatsu of the prewar years. The possibility of adverse effects on economic concentration, unaffiliated business firms and economic growth is then examined. JEL: G21, G10

description: Relevant research has been highlighted in the computing community to develop machine learning models capable of predicting the occurrence of crimes, analyzing contexts of crimes, extracting profiles of individuals linked to crime, and analyzing crimes over time. However, models capable of predicting specific crimes, such as homicide, are not commonly found in the current literature. This research presents a machine learning model to predict homicide crimes, using a dataset that uses generic data (without study location dependencies) based on incident report records for 34 different types of crimes, along with time and space data from crime reports. Experimentally, data from the city of Belém - Pará, Brazil was used. These data were transformed to make the problem generic, enabling the replication of this model to other locations. In the research, analyses were performed with simple and robust algorithms on the created dataset. With this, statistical tests were performed with 11 different classification methods and the results are related to the prediction's occurrence and non-occurrence of homicide crimes in the month subsequent to the occurrence of other registered crimes, with 76% assertiveness for both classes of the problem, using Random Forest. Results are considered as a baseline for the proposed problem.

description: Amoebiasis is a real public health problem and a major public health threat in many regions, particularly in developing countries. The present study was conducted to assess mothers' levels of knowledge about this parasitosis. A cross-sectional study was carried out on mothers whose children were suffering from amoebiasis and who consulted on an ongoing basis at seven basic healthcare centers in the city of Kut during the period from June 1, 2022, to September 31, 2022. The results show that the average age of the mothers was 24.8 years (standard deviation = 6.46) and that the 20–29 age range presented the highest percentage (73.3%). In terms of level of education, a higher percentage of mothers had an average level of schooling (39.2%). More than half of the mothers were employed; 39.2% of them were in the public sector and 21.7% in the private sector. The results showed that 65.8% and 72.5% of mothers expressed low knowledge (61.25; SD = 11.43) and low practice (30.68; SD = 9.300), respectively. Levels of knowledge and practice were unsatisfactory among mothers of children with amebiasis. This study highlights the importance of raising mothers' awareness of amoebiasis. Efforts should be made to improve knowledge and provide the necessary support to ensure better diagnostic and therapeutic management of children with amoebiasis.

subject: E42, F33

description: On June 13th, 1974 the International Monetary Fund introduced a new method of valuation of the Special Drawing Right (SDR) in transactions against currencies. The present article considers the features of the method of valuation of the SDR currently in force and the features of possible alternatives to be adopted in the future. The author gives a systematic analytical exposition of various methods of valuation of a Special Drawing Right, exhibits some attributes of various types of SDRs associated with a particular technique of valuation, and points out some of the consequences to which these attributes may lead.

description: A parallel plate differential mobility analyzer (DMA) having 100 independent current collectors is calibrated to relate the axial distances Ln between the inlet slit and the detector position to the particle mobility Z at given voltage difference V and sheath gas flow rate Q. Calibrating species are tetraheptylammonium bromide clusters (THABr) and polyethylene glycol (PEG35k, 5 nm in diameter), generated by a bipolar electrospray source, and purified in a cylindrical DMA. Gaussian fitting of the raw discrete mobility spectra in the form of ion current In versus collector position Ln, In(Ln), yield the mean value Lo of the collector position maximizing the signal for a given ion. The many (Z,V,Lo) triads obtained at given Q from many different DMA voltages and standard mobilities collapse into a single 1/(ZiVj) vs Lo curve when slight adjustments are made to the Zi. For different flow rates, Q/(ZiVj) vs. Lo curves collapse also, as long as the peaks are moderately narrow. However, for sufficiently small Q/Z, the THABr cluster peaks become broad, and the curves Q/(ZiVj) vs. Lo cease to collapse precisely. In contrast, the data for PEG show that this behavior is not a low-Q (Reynolds number) effect on the growth of the two lateral boundary layers, but is rather due to the broad and non-Gaussian peak shapes obtained at low Q or high Z. The calibration is accordingly unaffected by the Reynolds numbers. This simplicity was unexpected, given the three-dimensional flow in this DMA with growing lateral boundary layers.

Schulwechsel
Masterarbeit

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit befasst sich mit dem Schulwechsel von der Integration zur Separation und setzt sich mit der Sicht der Eltern auf dieses Ereignis auseinander. Ein Abbruch der Integration in einer Regelklasse und ein Schulwechsel in eine Sonderschule konfrontiert Eltern und ihre Kinder mit einer Realität, die mit vielfältigen Herausforderungen verbunden ist. Im Kontext der theoretischen Auseinandersetzung wird der Forschungsstand beleuchtet. Aspekte der Kooperation zwischen Eltern und Schule und das emotionale Erleben werden im Weiteren beschrieben, sowie Situationen von Familien mit einem Kind mit besonderem Förderbedarf. Zur Erhebung der Daten wurden acht Leitfadeninterviews mit Eltern geführt, die einen Schulwechsel ihres Kindes an die Sonderschule erlebt haben. Das erfasste Datenmaterial wurde wörtlich transkribiert und mittels einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse systematisch ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass bei der Entscheidung einem Schulwechsel zuzustimmen, Aspekte aus
 dem Bereich der sozialen Dimension der Integration, sowie der Kooperation im Zentrum stehen. Eltern fühlen sich alleine gelassen, die soziale Integration ist mit Schwierigkeiten verbunden und sie sehen das Wohl ihres Kindes gefährdet.

description: The scanning electrical mobility spectrometer (SEMS), or scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS), uses the differential mobility analyzer (DMA) operated in scanning mode to measure particle size distribution rapidly. To obtain the actual size distribution, the real-time transfer function (transmission efficiency of particles of different mobilities) is necessary, which has previously been investigated with numerical simulations or semi-analytical calculations. We present here a rigorous derivation of the diffusional DMA transfer function for an increasing-voltage scan based on analytically resolving particle trajectories between the instrument inlet and the outlet. This requires a 2D integration in the inlet and outlet space over the contour plot of the particle mobility distribution that can successfully transmit through the scanning DMA. For the first time, we show that the up-scan DMA transfer function for non-diffusive particles is trapezoidal (instead of triangular). The key parameter that determines the shape of the scanning DMA transfer function is the ratio of the characteristic scanning time to the average residence time, which yields the same transfer function as that for the static DMA when the ratio gets sufficiently large. The effect of particle diffusion is included via an extended outlet. The dimensionless equations for the trajectories and the method presented here can be generalized to the column DMA of any geometry. Copyright © 2020 American Association for Aerosol Research

description: The work represents a re-examination of the development of the Italian economy over the 20 year period from 1951 to 1971. The author first addresses cyclical versus structural interpretations. Analysis of the three main phases of the economy’s development since World War II is then provided. The first phase is 1951-58, when development factors were largely of domestic origin. The second phase is 1959-63, the years characterised by rapid integration and growth. The third phase is 1964-71, the years of the “rationalisation” of production, as well as when growth seemed less certain and more blatantly contradictory. Looking at the entire period under consideration, one may find a unifying factor in the absence of a policy constantly aimed at managing the development process. JEL: O11, N14, E32

Changing targets and strategies for the European financial integration
Creators: name: ONIDA, F.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: European economic integration, Common Market, policy
subject: F36

description: The call for a marked effort of European economic integration through a step-wise surrender of national sovereignty marked the end of the transitional phase of Common Market. However, the series of massive shocks and transformations that have taken place in the international monetary scene since then has resulted in a wave of “disintegration”, plaguing the image of an emerging European bloc as an alternative to the dollar-standard. The present article attempts to find feasible strategies for a more complete European integration as an alternative to the dangerous economic, political and social tensions that lie ahead. The author lays down some basic propositions concerning aspects of monetary and financial integration, leaving aside other equally important aspects, such as fiscal integration through a European budget, industrial and regional policies, and commercial and social policies.
