I n recent years, Federal Reserve (Fed) policymakers have come to rely on long-term bond yields to measure the public’s long-term inflationary expectations. The long-term bond rate plays a central role in Goodfriend’s (1993) narrative account of Fed behavior, 1979–1992, which links policyrelated movements in the federal funds rate to changes in the yield on long-term U.S. Treasury bonds. Accord...

A hyper-redundant manipulator has the advantage that it can be used in constraint space; however the control of hyper-redundant manipulator is difficult. This paper presents a concept of virtual link based two degrees of freedom (DOF) controller. With the proposed controller, manipulator of any number of links can be reduced to either a 2-link virtual manipulator or one real and one virtual lin...

We find that green bond issuers are more financially constrained. use three measures of financial constraint, which the FCP index, SA and Altman’s Z score. test link between issuance constraints using difference in means, regression analyses a matching procedure. finally document these increase after first issuance.

Inter-individual coordination (IIC) at the behavioral and physiological level, its association with courtship pair-bond maintenance, have been receiving increased attention in scientific literature recent years. However, there is no integrative framework combining plethora of findings humans nonhuman species yet that addresses evolutionary origins IIC. Here, we take a comparative approach revie...

In the title mol-ecule, C23H22N2OS, the di-phenyl-acetyl and ethyl-benzene groups adopt a trans-cis conformation, respectively, with respect to the S atom across the (S=)C-N bonds. This conformation is stabilized by an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond and a weak C-H⋯S hydrogen bond. The ethyl-substituted benzene ring forms dihedral angles of 87.53 (15) and 73.94 (15)° with the phenyl rings. ...

In the title compound, C(10)H(8)ClNO(3), the molecular conformation is stabilized by two intra-molecular hydrogen bonds. The first is a short O-H⋯O hydrogen bond within the maleamic acid unit and the second is a C-H⋯O hydrogen bond which connects the amide group with the phenyl ring. The maleamic acid unit is essentially planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.044 Å, and makes a dihedral angle of...

The title monohydrate, C(17)H(11)ClN(4)·H(2)O, features an essentially planar organic mol-ecule, as seen in the dihedral angle of 2.42 (8)° formed between the quinoline and benzene planes. The conformation about the imine bond is E, and the N-H group is oriented towards the quinoline residue. The major feature of the crystal packing is the formation of supra-molecular chains along [100], whereb...

The title compound, C(13)H(10)ClNO(2), exists in a trans configuration about the central C=N bond. The two benzene rings are almost coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 2.48 (10)°. An intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal structure, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains along [101]. Short C⋯Cl contacts [3.584 (2)-3.646 (2) Å] are observe...

The title compound, C(13)H(16)N(2)O(4), is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.065 Å for the 19 non-H atoms). An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif and the mol-ecule adopts an E conformation with respect to the central C=N double bond. In the crystal, pairs of inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link adjacent mol-ecules into inversion dimers. The crystal st...
