For a linear model with multiple rational expectations equilibria (REE) we discuss the set of possible REE. Solutions include (i) locally unique minimal state variable solutions. taking an AR(I) form and (ii) continua of solutions which may depend on sunspots. We analyze the convergence of econometric learning to the different REE. There exist cases with more than one stable AR(l) solution. It ...

The ocean and atmosphere were largely anoxic in the early Precambrian, resulting in an Fe cycle that was dramatically different than today’s. Extremely Fe-rich sedimentary deposits—i.e., Fe formations—are the most conspicuous manifestation of this distinct Fe cycle. Rare Earth Element (REE) systematics have long been used as a tool to understand the origin of Fe formations and the corresponding...

Methods Seventeen female patients with bipolar I disorder were evaluated with an IC instrument (VO2000). IC values were compared with the Harris-Benedict, Mifflin-St. Jeor and LARN equation methods. Results The measured REE was not significantly correlated with the three equations. The mean differences between REE values estimated with Harris-Benedict, Mifflin-St. Jeor and LARN equations, and t...

The definition of esophageal eosinophilia has changed over the past years. Before 1980s, esophageal eosinophilia had been merely regarded as a manifestation of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Since the mid-1990s, there have been numerous studies that reported esophageal eosinophilia with symptoms other than GERD, characterized by esophageal motility disorders and/or food intolerance, bo...

Let G be a collineation group of a thick finite generalised hexagon or generalised octagon Γ. If G acts primitively on the points of Γ, then a recent result of Bamberg et al. shows that G must be an almost simple group of Lie type. We show that, furthermore, the minimal normal subgroup S of G cannot be a Suzuki group or a Ree group of type G2, and that if S is a Ree group of type F4, then Γ is ...

We present compositions, including REEs determined by ion microprobe, of apatite and whitlockite in lunar rock assemblages rich in incompatible trace elements. Total concentrations of REE oxides in whitlockites range from 9-13 wt%, and those in apatites range from 0.15 to 1 wt%. Ratios of REE concentrations in whitlockite to those in coexisting apatite range from 10 to 60. The distribution of M...

BACKGROUND Adults born preterm with very low birth weight (VLBW; < 1500 g) have higher levels of cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors than their counterparts born at term. Resting energy expenditure (REE) could be one factor contributing to, or protecting from, these risks. We studied the effects of premature birth with VLBW on REE. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We used indirect calorim...

Osteopenia and osteoporosis are major complications of anorexia nervosa (AN). Since bone is a tissue requiring large amounts of energy, we examined the disproportionate increase in resting energy expenditure (REE) that occurs with refeeding of AN patients to determine if it was related to bone accretion. Thirty-seven AN patients aged 23.4 ± 4.8 years underwent a behavioral weight-gain protocol ...
