This note is a friendly amendment to Marti’s analysis of the failure of Føllesdal’s argument that modal distinctions collapse in Carnap’s logic S2. Føllesdal’s argument turns on the treatment of descriptions. Marti considers how modal descriptions, which Carnap banned, might be handled; she adopts an approach which blocks Føllesdal’s argument, but requires a separate treatment of non-modal desc...

Using data on all corporate bond loans by one of the world’s largest custodian banks, we study the main determinants of shorting costs as measured by rebate rate specialness. We find that 3.0% of corporate bonds are on loan, and 11% of loaned bonds have substantial shorting costs above 50 basis points. In the cross section, specialness is higher for bonds that are of worse credit rating, higher...

Nothilfelager sind Orte innerstaatlicher Grenzziehungen im europäischen Grenzregime. Sie schließen abgewiesene Geflüchtete ein und damit aus der Gesellschaft aus. Simone Marti analysiert in einer ethnografischen Studie die herrschende »politische Rationalität« von Migrationsbehörden bei Etablierung Legitimierung des Nothilfe-Regimes. Im Fokus stehen dabei Nothilfelager, sie als totale Instituti...

Introduction Homocysteine is an amino-acidic product of methionine demethylation. Hyperhomocysteinemia (which is frequently found in schizophrenia (Nishi et al. 2014)) increases cardiovascular risk (Marti-Carvajal et al. 2009) and may trigger neuronal apoptosis (Mattson & Shea 2003). It may result from low folate intake (Selhub 2006), while folate deficiency is common in schizophrenia and may b...

Non-Gaussian beam profiles such as Bessel or annular beams enable novel approaches to modifying materials through laser-based processing. In this review paper, properties, generation methods and emerging applications for nonconventional beam shapes are discussed, including Bessel, annular, and vortex beams. These intensity profiles have important implications in a number of technologically rele...
