Palygin OA, Pettus JM, Shibata EF. Regulation of caveolar cardiac sodium current by a single Gs histidine residue. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 294: H1693–H1699, 2008. First published February 8, 2008; doi:10.1152/ajpheart.01337.2007.—Cardiac sodium channels (voltage-gated Na channel subunit 1.5) reside in both the plasmalemma and membrane invaginations called caveolae. Opening of the caveol...

Treatment of a newly prepared digold(i) complex, [Au2(dppe)(H2msa)2] ([H41]; dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane, msa = thiomalate), with Ni(2+) gave two interconvertible multinuclear complexes, [Ni{Au2(dppe)(msa)2}](2-) ([2](2-)) and [Ni3{Au2(dppe)(Hmsa)2}{Au2(dppe)(msa)2}(MeOH)3] ([3]), dependent on solution acidities.

The financial trilemma states that financial stability, financial integration and national financial policies are incompatible. Any two of the three objectives can be combined but not all three; one has to give. This paper develops a model to underpin the financial trilemma. Our findings for financial integration suggest that the financial trilemma is in particular at work in Europe. JEL codes:...

The Internet presents today’s researchers with unprecedented opportunities to conduct field experiments. Using examples from Economics and Computer Science, we present an analysis of the design choices, with particular attention to the underlying technologies, in conducting online field experiments and report on lessons learned.

The neoclassical economists have long used the concept of «market failure» as a stick with which to beat up on free enterprise system. Foremost amongst these so called failures» are «negative externalities.» These defined action that negatively affects third parties, other than via price. key example is pollution. dismal scientists never mention, however, fact government itself source negative ...

This paper investigates the how government outsourcing affects efficiency and expenditures by considering decisions are determined along two dimensions: (i) cost differences between private firms suppliers of public goods (ii) dynamics arising from complementarities capacity constraints. I formulate estimate a dynamic model using project-level data dredging industry. Model estimates indicate su...

Fundraising interventions may lift donations and/or shift their composition and timing. Using data rich in both the charity space time dimensions, we find that major fundraising appeals to appeal this increase is not offset by lower later time. Strikingly, also forward-shift other (nonappeal) charities are later. To understand these response patterns, introduce a two-period, two-charity “ lift-...

We examine a setup where two agents allocate fixed budget between public goods in areas. The may be biased to one area, which is their private information. Without communication, the funds are allocated inefficiently, resulting gaps and duplication good provision. Direct communication ineffective cannot resolve coordination failure even when potential biases negligible. Coordination can improve...
