By introducing repo markets we understand how agents need to borrow issued securities before shorting them: (re)-hypothecation is at the heart of shorting. Non-negative amounts of securities in the box of an agent (amounts borrowed or owned but not lent on) can be sold, and recursive use of securities as collateral allows agents to leverage their positions. A binding box constraint induces a li...

Evolution of selenocysteine decoding and the key role of selenophosphate synthetase in the pathway of selenium utilization" (2006). Summary: The complete sequencing of genomes and the development of in silico methods for identification of genes encoding selenocysteine (Sec)-containing proteins have greatly contributed to shape our view on the evolution of selenium utilization in nature. Current...

BACKGROUND Outpatient drugs are dispensed through both community and mail order pharmacies. There is no empirical evidence that substitution of community pharmacy with mail order reduces overall drug expenditures. The need for evaluating the potential effects on utilization and costs of the possible extension of mail order services in Medicaid provides the rationale for conducting this study. T...

Rotating machinery is the most common machinery in industry. The root of the faults in rotating machinery is often faulty rolling element bearings. This paper presents a technique using optimized artificial neural network by the Bees Algorithm for automated diagnosis of localized faults in rolling element bearings. The inputs of this technique are a number of features (maximum likelihood estima...

It’s widely known that when Turing first introduced his “imitationgame” test for ascertaining whether a computing machine can think, he considered, and found wanting, a series objections to his position. It seems safe to say that one of these objections, the “Theological Objection” (TO), was regarded by Turing to be positively anemic, and that ever since he delivered his rapid (purported!) refu...
