Growth in Agricultural Productivity
This study examines agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) from theoretical and empirical perspectives. Specifically, the measures, relevant data, and major sources of the TFP growth are discussed. Using the sector-level...

Topology of Disordered 3D Graphene Networks.
Disordered carbons comprise graphene fragments assembled into three-dimensional networks. It has long been debated whether these networks contain positive curvature, as seen in fullerenes, negative curvature, as proposed for the...
Optimising nudges and boosts for financial decisions under uncertainty
Abstract: Behavioural interventions that directly influence decision-making are increasingly popular policy tools. Two prominent interventions used are nudges, which promote an optimal choice without restricting options, and...
Robust modulation of integrate-and-fire models
By controlling the state of neuronal populations, neuromodulators ultimately affect behaviour. A key neuromodulation mechanism is the alteration of neu- ronal excitability via the modulation of ion channel expression. This type...
Indispensable Source of Risk Contagion With Big Data Analysis From a More Comprehensive View on Shadow Banking
Although shadow banking widely exists in the financial systems of various countries, their definitions vary significantly due to specific economic and financial characteristics. This paper classifies Chinese shadow banking into...

Lysozyme Fibrils Alter the Mechanism of Insulin Amyloid Aggregation.
Protein aggregation into amyloid fibrils is linked to multiple disorders. The understanding of how natively non-harmful proteins convert to these highly cytotoxic amyloid aggregates is still not sufficient, with new ideas and...
Mucosal IgG in inflammatory bowel disease - a question of (sub)class?
Immunoglobulins (Igs) form a cornerstone of mucosal immunity. In the gastrointestinal tract, secretory IgA and IgM bind to commensal microorganisms within the intestinal lumen to prevent them from breaching the intestinal...
IgG and Fcγ Receptors in Intestinal Immunity and Inflammation.
Fcγ receptors (FcγR) are cell surface glycoproteins that mediate cellular effector functions of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies. Genetic variation in FcγR genes can influence susceptibility to a variety of antibody-mediated...

Effect of Ionic Strength on Thioflavin-T Affinity to Amyloid Fibrils and Its Fluorescence Intensity
The formation of amyloid fibrils is linked to multiple neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Despite years of research and countless studies on the topic of such aggregate formation, as well...
Sustainable Green Growth in Developing Economies
The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) initiated by Chinese government could be regarded as a systematic framework for promoting economic cooperation and development among the countries along the Belt and Road and China. This paper...

B cell class switching in intestinal immunity in health and disease.
The gastrointestinal tract is colonized by trillions of commensal microorganisms that collectively form the microbiome and make essential contributions to organism homeostasis. The intestinal immune system must tolerate these...

Mental health and decisions under risk among refugees and the public in Lebanon
Abstract: Lebanon is rapidly adapting public services to meet local needs as well as those of refugees from conflict regions such as Syria. However, these challenges are complicated by high volumes of individuals with poor...
Financial Cycle With Text Information Embedding Based on LDA Measurement and Nowcasting
When compared to traditional indicators, text information can capture market sentiment, investor confidence, and public opinion more effectively. Meanwhile, the mixed-frequency dynamic factor model (MF-DFM) can capture current...

Evidence for violations of Weak Cosmic Censorship in black hole
collisions in higher dimensions
We study collisions of boosted rotating black holes in $D=6$ and 7 spacetime
dimensions with a non-zero impact parameter. We find that there exists an open
set of initial conditions such that the intermediate state of the...

Apr 25, 2022
No one likes to be wrong. Previous research has shown that participants may underweight information incompatible with previous choices, a phenomenon called confirmation bias. In this paper, we argue that a similar bias exists in...
Online Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Extreme Learning Machine Applied to 3D Path Following for Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicles
Adrian Rubio-Solis, Uriel Martinez Hernandez, Luciano Nava-Balanzar, Luis Garcia-Valdovinos, Noe Rodriguez-Olivares, Juan Orozco-Muniz, Tomas Salgado-Jimenez
Jan 31, 2022
In marine missions that involve 3D path following tasks, the overall goal of Underwater Vehicles (UVs) is the successful completion of a path previously specified by the operator. This implies that the path must be followed...
