Will a crude oil price band stabilise the market by Fattouh, B

“…The proposal for a crude oil price band, revived by the Indian delegation during the Jeddah Meeting in July 2008, seems to be gathering support. The French president Nicolas Sarkozy and the UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown urged ‘oil producers to agree a target price range, based on a clearer understanding of the long-term fundamentals’. …”

On Lie Theory in the Verlinde Category by Kannan, Arun S.

“…This is not true in positive characteristic, with the most fundamental counterexamples being the Verlinde category Verₚ and its higher analogs Verₚn. It seems these categories will play a role in generalizing Deligne's theorem, and therefore, to understand symmetric tensor categories of moderate growth in general, it is important to study affine group schemes in these categories. …”

Behavioural and neural effects of temporal relations between stimuli by Mancari, A

“…Neural activity is known to synchronize to environmental rhythms, which in turn drive modulations of our perception and behaviour that reflect their temporal structure. While this process seems largely automatic, I found evidence for an active neural mechanism regulating the propagation of entrainment across modalities based on behavioural goals.…”
