Real exchange rates in Latin America : the PPP hypothesis and fractional integration by Caporale, Guglielmo Maria, Gil-Alana, Luis A.

“…Compared to earlier studies on these economies, this approach has the advantage of allowing for non-integer values for the degree of integration, and thus for the possibility of PPP not holding continuously but as a long-run equilibrium condition. Further, breaks in the series are endogenously determined using a procedure based on the least-squares principle. …”

Sequence-dependent drug binding to the minor groove of DNA: crystal structure of the DNA dodecamer d(CGCAAATTTGCG)2 complexed with propamidine by Nunn, Christine M., Neidle, Stephen

“…The structure shows binding of the propamidine molecule within the AT tract of the DNA minor groove with a shift from the center of the duplex toward the 3’ end of ca. 2 A. The long AT tract of six base pairs in length allows the propamidine many potential binding sites in the DNA groove, and its binding is seen to occur where there is least perturbation to the DNA from that seen in the native structure. …”

The experience of psoriatic arthritis patients receiving biological treatment : an interpretative phenomenological analysis by Schepelern, Eva K.

“…Analysis of the data highlighted that receiving biologics for psoriatic arthritis was experienced as life-changing, but also required participants to make sense of the many unknowns surrounding treatment in regard to future effectiveness and long-term side effects of biologics. Participants experienced a biomedical focus on disease and treatment effects alone as not taking into account the significant psychological impact that having psoriatic arthritis and being treated with biologics can have on sufferers’ lives. …”
