In this paper, we describe how to solve Model A (finite number of countries complete markets) of the JEDC project by using a simulation-based Parameterized Expectations Algorithm (PEA). JEL classification : C6; C63; C68; C88

Enterococcus faecium infections are a rising concern in hospital settings. Vancomycin-resistant enterococci colonize the gastrointestinal tract and replace nonresistant strains, complicating the treatment of debilitated patients. Here, we present a polished genome of the multiantibiotic-resistant strain C68, which was obtained as a clinical isolate and is a useful experimental strain.

The K2 formation of C68 block is explored by injecting water to maintain pressure, but the continuous decrease injection rate significantly reduces oil production. Therefore, it important predict scaling tendency injected in formation. Firstly, ion composition and was tested according recommended practices petroleum industry. Then, wellbottom temperature distribution wells simulated under requi...

Should Old-Age Benefits Be Earnings-Tested? We study the welfare effects of earnings testing flat-rate old-age benefits in a quantitative overlapping generations model with idiosyncratic labor income risk. In our model economy, even a moderate earnings testing reduces individuals’ expected lifetime utility, whenever other taxes are taken into account. Moreover, it also lowers the realized lifet...

The best performance of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer is achieved with the input state |NT /2+ 1〉|NT /2 − 1〉 + |NT /2 − 1〉|NT /2 + 1〉, being NT the total number of atoms/photons. This gives: i) a phase-shift error confidence C68% = 2.67/NT with ii) a single interferometric measurement. Different input quantum states can achieve the Heisenberg scaling ∼ 1/NT but with higher prefactors and at the...

We describe and compare several algorithms for approximating the solution to a model in which inequality constraints occasionally bind. Their performance is evaluated and compared using various parameterizations of the one sector growth model with irreversible investment. We develop parameterized expectation algorithms which, on the basis of speed, accuracy and convenience of implementation, ap...

Cell survival from the arrested state can be a cause of the cancer recurrence. Transition from the arrest state to the growth state is highly regulated by mitochondrial activity, which is related to the lipid compositions of the mitochondrial membrane. Cardiolipin is a critical phospholipid for the mitochondrial integrity and functions. We examined the changes of cardiolipin species by LC-MS in...

We introduce an envelope condition method (ECM) for solving dynamic programming problems. The ECM method is simple to implement, dominates conventional value function iteration and is comparable in accuracy and cost to Carroll’s (2005) endogenous grid method.   : C6, C61, C63, C68   : Numerical dynamic programming; Value function iteration; Endogenous grid; Envelope cond...

Based on the different oxidation potentials of endohedral fullerenes Sc3N@C80 Ih and D5h and Sc3N@C78, an efficient and useful method that avoids HPLC has been developed for their separation. Selective chemical oxidation of the Sc3N@D5h-C80 isomer and Sc3N@C78 by using an acetylferrocenium salt [Fe(COCH3C5H4)Cp](+) followed by column chromatographic separation and reduction with CH3SNa resulted...
