We consider nonparametric estimation of the conditional qth quantile for stationary time series. We deal with stationary time series with strong time dependence and heavy tails under the setting of random design. We estimate the conditional qth quantile by local linear regression and investigate the asymptotic properties. It is shown that the asymptotic properties are affected by both the time ...

PSI is a large protein-pigment complex located in the thylakoid membrane in cyanobacteria, plants, and algae. Although the structure and components of PSI are well characterized, mechanisms that orchestrate its assembly are poorly understood. In this study, we discovered a novel nucleus-encoded protein, Photosystem I Assembly3 (PSA3), that is required for PSI accumulation. PSA3 is conserved amo...

To gain insights into the molecular details of photosystem I (PSI) biogenesis, we characterized the PsbP-domain protein1 (ppd1) mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana that specifically lacks PSI activity. Deletion of PPD1 results in an inability of the mutant to grow photoautotrophically and a specific loss of the stable PSI complex. Unaltered transcription and translation of plastid-encoded PSI genes ...

This paper presents a principal-agent model of IMF conditional lending, in the aftermath of a “capital-account” liquidity crisis. We show that traditional ex-post conditionality can be e¤ective in safeguarding the Fund’s resources, allowing for the provision of e¢cient emergency lending and reducing ine¢cient ex-ante credit rationing if the capital out‡ow which triggers the crisis is not excess...

Two seemingly unrelated applications call for a renewed study of probabilistic properties of logical formulas. One is the study of information about a sensitive query which is disclosed by a public view [10]. The other is a study of queries with uncertain predicates [1]. Both have been studied using a certain probabilistic model, which, as we show here has some limitations. In this paper we pro...

We point out that PT-symmetric potentials $$V_{\mathrm {PT}}(x)$$ having imaginary asymptotic saturation, {PT}}(x=\pm \infty ) =\pm i V_1, V_1 \in {\mathbb {R}}$$ are devoid of scattering states and spectral singularity. show the existence real (positive negative) discrete spectrum both with without complex conjugate pair(s) eigenvalues (CCPEs). If eigenstates arranged in ascending order part e...

On a space of stable maps, the psi classes are modified by subtracting certain boundary divisors. The top products of modified psi classes, usual psi classes, and classes pulled back along the evaluation maps are called twisted descendants; it is shown that in genus 0, they admit a complete recursion and are determined by the Gromov-Witten invariants. One motivation for this construction is tha...
