Economic theory predicts that the integration of financial markets lowers the volatility of consumption. In this paper, we study long-term trends in the consumption volatility of the G7 countries. Using different measures of financial openness, we find some evidence that greater financial openness has been associated with lower consumption volatility. However, volatility of consumption relative...

Here, we present the high-quality draft genome sequence of the agar-degrading marine gammaproteobacterium Alteromonadaceae sp. strain G7, which was isolated from coastal seawater to be utilized as a bioresource for production of agar-derived biofuels. The 3.91-Mb genome contains a number of genes encoding algal polysaccharide-degrading enzymes such as agarases and sulfatases.

G7 leaders have committed themselves to provide one billion covid-19 vaccine doses for low and low-middle income countries over the next year, but World Health Organization campaigners said this falls far short of 11 needed. The Carbis Bay declaration signed at summit in Cornwall on 13 June also set out steps prepare better any future pandemic by improving early warning systems increasing coor...

The Kummer surface was constructed in 1864. It corresponds to the desingularization of quotient a 4-torus by 16 complex double points. is known play role some models quantum gravity. Following our recent model DNA genetic code based on irreducible characters finite group G5:=(240,105)≅Z5⋊2O (with 2O binary octahedral group), we now find that groups G6:=(288,69)≅Z6⋊2O and G7:=(336,118)≅Z7⋊2O can...

Mu et al. (Mu, J., M. T. Ferdig, X. Feng, D. A. Joy, J. Duan, T. Furuya, G. Subramanian, L. Aravind, R. A. Cooper, J. C. Wootton, M. Xiong, and X. Z. Su, Mol. Microbiol. 49:977-989, 2003) recently reported exciting associations between nine new candidate transporter genes and in vitro resistance to chloroquine (CQ) and quinine (QN), with six of these loci showing association with CQ or QN in a ...

Different distance matrices are defined and applied to look for correlations between the gross domestic product of G7 countries. Results are illustrated through displays obtained from various graph methods. Significant similarities between results are obtained. A procedure for choosing the best distance function is proposed taking into account the size of the window in which correlation are ave...

This paper shows that productivity growth is more strongly correlated across U.S. regions than across the G7 countries. Cross-region correlations of productivity growth within a given industry are typically stronger than cross-sector correlations of productivity growth within the same region.
