Genome Sequence of Human Papillomavirus 23 Strain HPV-23/Lancaster/2015

The genome of human papillomavirus type 23 (HPV-23; family Papillomaviridae, genus Betapapillomavirus, species Betapapillomavirus 2, type 23) was assembled by deep sequencing from nasopharyngeal swabs. The assembled genome is 2.7% divergent over its full length from the single complete genome of HPV-23 in GenBank (accession no. U31781). We named the strain HPV-23/Lancaster/2015.

i=1 αif(vi), where x = ∑d+1 i=1 αivi ∈ ∂X and for i = 1, ..., d+1 αi ≥ 0 and ∑d+1 i=1 α = 1. For every i = 1, ..., d+1, vi ∈ {−ei, ei}. By the Borsuk-Ulam theorem, there exists x ∈ ∂X s.t. f(x) = f(−x). Hence, there exist α1, ..., αd+1, v1, ..., vd+1 s.t. ∑d+1 i=1 αif(vi) = ∑d+1 i=1 αif(−vi). By definition the two simplices conv(f(v1), ..., f(vd+1)) and conv(f(−v1), ..., f(−vd+1)) cover each co...

We consider a multimarket framework where a set of firms compete on two interrelated oligopolistic markets. Prior to competing in these markets, firms can spy on others in order to increase the quality of their product. We characterize the equilibrium espionage networks and networks that maximize social welfare under the most interesting scenario of diseconomies of scope. We find that in some s...

This paper addresses two hot topics of the contemporary debate, social capital and economic growth. Our theoretical analysis sheds light on decisive but so far neglected issues: how does social capital accumulate over time? Which is the relationship between social capital, technical progress and economic growth in the long run? The analysis shows that the economy may be attracted by alternative...
