Reform of the international financial architecture : how can Asia have a greater impact in the G20? by Rana, Pradumna B.

“…The paper makes the case for Asian countries (i) lobbying for the formalisation and regularisation of ASEAN Chair’s and ASEAN Secretary-General’s participation in the G20 Summits, (ii) holding policy dialogue meetings of an “expanded” ASEAN+3 (regular 13 members plus India, Australia and New Zealand) just prior to the G20 Summits for coordinating policies and developing common positions to support the ASEAN representatives at the G20 Summits and (iii) supporting and joining the informal Global Governance Group (3G) convened by Singapore under the auspices of the United Nations (UN) to coordinate Asian perspectives with developing countries in other regions of the world. Once the ASEAN+3 Macroeconomic Research Office (AMRO) is established in Singapore (by May 2010), AMRO can take over the task of convening the policy dialogue meetings of the “expanded” ASEAN+3 to support participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Secretary- General in the G20 Summits.…”

A decision-led evaluation approach for flood forecasting system developments: an application to the Global Flood Awareness System in Bangladesh by Hossain, S, Cloke, H, Ficchi, A, Gupta, Speight, L, Hassan, A, Stephens, E

“…The changes in model structures influence the model performance in a complex and varied way and forecast skill needs further investigation across regions and decision-making criteria. Understanding the skill changes between different model versions is important for decision-makers; however, focused case studies such as this should also be used by model developers to guide future changes to the system to ensure that they lead to improvements in decision-making ability.…”

MIGHTEE: the continuum survey Data Release 1 by Hale, CL, Heywood, I, Jarvis, MJ, Whittam, IH, Best, PN, An, F, Bowler, RAA, Harrison, I, Matthews, A, Smith, DJB, Taylor, AR, Vaccari, M

“…We find a typical sample variance of 10-20percnt for 0.3 and 0.5 sq. deg. sub-regions at S1.4 ≤ 200 μJy, which increases at brighter flux densities, given the lower source density and expected higher galaxy bias for these sources.…”

Obama's energy policy: the crucial role of coal in the US climate legislation by Robinson, D

“…Producers and consumers of coal and of coal-based electricity (i.e. the ‘coal lobby’, including companies, workers and consumers of different sizes in these sectors and more generally citizens in the regions where the companies operate) are the main losers from climate legislation; compensating them and helping them to prepare for the future has come at a price.…”

Structure of a fully assembled γδ T-cell antigen receptor by Gully, BS, Ferreira Fernandes, J, Gunasinghe, SD, Vuong, MT, Lui, Y, Rice, MT, Rashleigh, L, Lay, C-S, Littler, DR, Sharma, S, Santos, AM, Venugopal, H, Rossjohn, J, Davis, SJ

“…However, in contrast to the apparently rigid αβ TCR^2,3,6, the γδ TCR exhibits considerable conformational heterogeneity, owing to the ligand-binding TCR-γδ subunits being tethered to the CD3 subunits by their transmembrane regions only. Reducing this conformational heterogeneity by transferring the Vδ3Vγ8 TCR variable domains to an αβ TCR enhanced receptor signaling, suggesting that γδ TCR organization reflects a compromise between efficient signaling and the ability to engage structurally-diverse ligands. …”
