In the wake of the global financial crisis, member jurisdictions of the G20 have embarked upon an ambitious program of reforms to the structure and operation of financial markets. One key element of the reform program is to improve the management of counterparty risk and reduce interconnectedness in over-the-counter (OTC) derivative markets by encouraging greater use of centralised financial ma...

The G20, a grouping of the largest developed and developing economies in the world, accounts for almost 86% of global Gross Domestic Product and 76% of global CO2 emissions. In recent years, the G20 global summit has not only aimed to support an economic agenda, but also to coordinate actions towards a cleaner energy and low-carbon future. However, in different countries driving forces for the ...

The G20, a grouping of the largest developed and developing economies in the world, accounts for 7 almost 86% of global Gross Domestic Product and 76% of global CO2 emissions. In recent years, the G20 global 8 summit has not only aimed to support an economic agenda, but also to coordinate actions towards a cleaner energy 9 and low-carbon future. However, in different countries driving forces fo...

BACKGROUND Muscle power (force x velocity) recedes at a faster rate than strength with age and may also be a stronger predictor of fall risk and functional decline. The optimal training paradigm for improving muscle power in older adults is not known, although some literature suggests high velocity, low load training is optimal in young adults. METHODS One hundred twelve healthy older adults ...

Cyanophages are important components of aquatic ecosystems, but their genetic diversity has been little investigated in freshwaters. A yearlong survey was conducted in surface waters of the two largest natural perialpine lakes in France (Lake Annecy and Lake Bourget) to investigate part of this cyanophage diversity through the analysis of both structural (e.g., g20) and functional (e.g., psbA) ...

Desulfovibrio desulfuricans G20 grows and reduces 20 mM arsenate to arsenite in lactate-sulfate media. Sequence analysis and experimental data show that D. desulfuricans G20 has one copy of arsC and a complete arsRBCC operon in different locations within the genome. Two mutants of strain G20 with defects in arsenate resistance were generated by nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis. The arsRBCC operons ...

The prevalence of lipids devoid of phosphorus suggests that the availability of phosphorus limits microbial growth and activity in many anoxic, stratified environments. To better understand the response of anaerobic bacteria to phosphate limitation and starvation, this study combines microscopic and lipid analyses with the measurements of fitness of pooled barcoded transposon mutants of the mod...
