BACKGROUND To assess the effects of isolation, inadequate exposure to light and specific shift work on the subjective and objective measurements of sleep and alertness of submariners. PURPOSE A strictly controlled randomized crossover study with the polysomnography recorded twice during the mission. METHODS Setting: Shift and night work with prolonged (70 days) social isolation from the rea...

Rhodostomin (Rho) is an RGD protein that specifically inhibits integrins. We found that Rho mutants with the P48A mutation 4.4-11.5 times more actively inhibited integrin α5β1. Structural analysis showed that they have a similar 3D conformation for the RGD loop. Docking analysis also showed no difference between their interactions with integrin α5β1. However, the backbone dynamics of RGD residu...

We show that an asymptotic envy-freeness is a necessary condition for a form of robust approximate implementation in large economies. JEL classi cation numbers: D78, D51, D71 Envy-Freeness and Implementation in Large Economies Matthew O. Jackson Ilan Kremer

Weiss (1981) established core equivalence and the existence of competitive equilibria in finitely additive exchange economies. To underline the relevance of finitely additive economies we present in this note an example with a close connection to finite exchange economies. JEL Classification Number: D51.

This note provides a new proof of the non–emptiness of the fuzzy core in a pure exchange economy with finitely many agents. The proof is based on the concept of (Π, β)–balanced core for games without side payments due to Bonnisseau and Iehlé (2003). JEL classification codes: D51, C71.

We provide a necessary and a sufficient condition on an individual’s expected utility function under which any zero-mean idiosyncratic risk increases cautiousness (the derivative of the reciprocal of the absolute risk aversion), which is the key determinant for this individual’s demand for options and portfolio insurance.
