Business cycles, interest rates and market volatility : estimation and forecasting using DSGE macroeconomic models under partial information by Perendija, Djordje V.

“…Consequently, the first part of this research project was aiming to improve the DSGE econometric methods by introducing novel solution for DSGE models with imperfect, partial information about the current values of deep variables and shocks, and apply this solution to imperfectly informed multiple agents with their different, inner-rationality models. Along these lines, this research also shows that DSGE models can be extended and suited to both, fitting and estimation of long-term yield curve, and to estimating with rich data sets by extending further its inner-mechanism. …”

The investigation of saccade parallel programming using a novel double-step paradigm: an fMRI study by Hu, Yanbo, Walker, Robin

“…Methods: Fifteen participants completed a novel double-step task in a 3T MRI scanner. Anatomical scans (T1 weighted) were acquired for each participant before the functional scans (TR = 1830 ms, TE = 5.5ms, resolution = 256*256, flip angle of 11°, number of slices = 160, field of view = 256*256). …”

Highly infectious prions are not directly neurotoxic by Benilova, Iryna, Reilly, Madeleine, Terry, Cassandra, Wenborn, Adam, Schmidt, Christian, Marinho, Aline T., Risse, Emmanuel, Al-Doujaily, Huda, Wiggins De Oliveira, Michael, Sandberga, Malin K., Wadsworth, Jonathan D. F., Jat, Parmjit S, Collinge, John

“…While it has long been assumed that prions are themselves neurotoxic, recent devel- opment of methods to obtain exceptionally pure prions from mouse brain with maintained strain characteristics, and in which defined structures—paired rod-like double helical fibers—can be definitively correlated with infectivity, allowed a direct test of this assertion. …”

In vitro surface efficacy of CaP-based anodised titanium for bone implants by Alipal, J., Saidin, S., Kai Lo, A.Z., Koshy, P., Abdullah, H.Z., Idris, M.I., Lee, T.C.

“…However, the coating at 450 V was observed to suffer from delamination, indicating the needle-like structure is mechanically unstable. After 7 days of SBF immersion, the 450 V sample was highly bioactive relative to the 350 V sample. …”
