What caused the recovery from the British Great Depression? A leading explanation - the “expectations channel” - suggests that a shift in expected inflation lowered real interest rates and stimulated consumption and investment. However, few studies have measured, or tested the economic consequences of, inflation expectations. In this paper, we collect high-frequency information from primary and se

In 1966, Gallai asked whether every connected graph has a vertex that is common to all its longest paths. The answer to this question is negative. We prove that the answer is positive for outerplanar graphs. Another related question was raised in 1995 at the British Combinatorial Conference: Do any three longest paths in a connected graph have a vertex in common? We prove that, in a connected grap

Sjötrafik har alltid haft en stor betydelse för vårt samhälle genom att transportera gods och människor mellan och inom länder. Transporter till sjöss har stora fördelar associerat till relativt låga klimatutsläpp och transportkostnader. Tyvärr medför sjötrafik även en negativ påverkan på vår miljö. Den negativa påverkan kan till exempel bestå av utsläpp av luftföroreningar, tömning av ballastvatt

As part of the IEA-SHC Task 41 'Solar Energy and Architecture' an international survey was carried out. This paper presents its results for Subtask B which especially focuses on methods and tools for solar design applied by architects. Building professionals, mainly architects, were contacted via email and asked to participate in a web-based questionnaire about their use of methods and tools for s

The concept of evolvability - the capacity of a population to produce and maintain evolutionarily relevant variation - has become increasingly prominent in evolutionary biology. Paleontology has a long history of investigating questions of evolvability, but paleontological thinking has tended to neglect recent discussions, because many tools used in the current evolvability literature are challeng

Objective: EEG is commonly used to predict prognosis in post anoxic coma. We investigated if stimulus-induced rhythmic, periodic or ictal discharges (SIRPIDs) add prognostic information after cardiac arrest. Methods: In the multicenter Targeted Temperature Management trial, routine-EEGs were prospectively recorded after rewarming (≥36 h). Presence and subtype of SIRPIDs and main EEG-pattern (benig

Introduction: Designing adjuvant trials is challenging because of uncertainties of prevalence and outcome of high-risk renal cell cancer (RCC) despite use of validated risk scores. Our objective is to investigate how differences in eligibility criteria may impact on potential study results in RCC adjuvant trials. Patients and Methods: RECUR is a multicenter European database capturing patient and

A novel S-scheme photocatalytic heterojunction composite nanomaterial is developed by integrating zero-dimensional WO3 quantum dots (WQDs) on two-dimensional ultrathin CdIn2S4 (CIS) nanosheets with the aim of fostering carrier separation, enhancing the performance of carrier interface transport, minimizing carrier distance transport, and achieving effective photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The compos

År 1899 bröt det andra boerkriget ut. Dess koppling till Lunds universitet är kanske inte omedelbart uppenbar, men faktum är att åtminstone en lundastudent begav sig till Sydafrika som frivillig i vad han själv kallade för ett ”ovanligt intressant” krig:Arkivarien vid universitetsarkivet Henrik Ullstad berättar hans historia.

Activation of receptor tyrosine kinases needs tight control by tyrosine phosphatases to keep their normal function. In this study, we investigated the regulation of activation of the type III receptor tyrosine kinase KIT by protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type E (PTPRE). We found that PTPRE can associate with wild-type KIT and inhibit KIT activation in a dose-dependent manner, although the a

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is an ultra-rare, translocated, vascular sarcoma. EHE clinical behavior is variable, ranging from that of a low-grade malignancy to that of a high-grade sarcoma and it is marked by a high propensity for systemic involvement. No active systemic agents are currently approved specifically for EHE, which is typically refractory to the antitumor drugs used in sarc

This article intends to raise questions related to nationalism in South Asia, while also addressing the rationale for this special issue. Is nationalism a monolithic construct based on a European precedent or is it something much larger that is developed pluralistically in a variety of contexts around the world? If the latter is true, which is our position, then how do we go about studying the var

Background: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) of kidney stones is losing ground to more expensive and invasive endoscopic treatments. Objective: This proof-of-concept project was initiated to develop artificial intelligence (AI)-augmented ESWL and to investigate the potential for machine learning to improve the efficacy of ESWL. Design, setting, and participants: Two-dimensional ultraso
