Simulating nanoindentation of thin Cu films using molecular dynamics and peridynamics
High resolution sparse estimation of exponentially decaying N-dimensional signals
In this work, we consider the problem of high-resolution estimation of the parameters detailing an N-dimensional (N-D) signal consisting of an unknown number of exponentially decaying sinusoidal components. Since such signals are not sparse in an oversampled Fourier matrix, earlier approaches typically exploit large dictionary matrices that include not only a finely spaced frequency grid, but also
Jesus-Oriented Visions of Judaism in Antiquity
This article argues that the Pseudo-Clementine Recognitions 1.27–72, the Pseudo-Clementine Homilies, and the Didascalia Apostolorum – third and fourth century-texts, which combine adherence to Jesus with Jewish law observance – would have made sense to Jews in antiquity as Jewish, although non-rabbinic visions of the history and calling of the people of Israel, and that they ought to be considered
Getting along or ahead: Effects of gender identity threat on communal and agentic self-presentations
When faced with a threat to gender identity, people may try to restore their gender status by acting in a more gender-typical manner. The present research investigated effects of gender identity threat on self-presentations of agentic and communal traits in a Swedish and an Argentine sample (N = 242). Under threat (vs. affirmation), Swedish women deemphasized agentic traits (d [95 % CI] = -0.41 [-
Horizontal and vertical targeting : a population-based comparison of public eldercare services in urban and rural areas of Sweden
The concepts of target efficiency can be used to assess the extent to which service provision is in line with the needs of the population. Horizontaltarget efficiency denotes the extent to which those deemed to need a service receive it and vertical target efficiency is the corresponding extent to which those who receive services actually need them. The aim of this study was to assess the target e
Haemophilus influenzae Outer Membrane Proteins-Structure, Function and Virulence Mechanisms
Haemophilus influenzae is a Gram-negative bacterium that is classified by the presence or absence of a polysaccharide capsule, termed “typeable” and “non-typeable” H. influenzae (NTHi), respectively. Depending on the capsular polysaccharide composition and antigenicity, typeable isolates are further subdivided into six serotypes designated a–f. H. influenzae type b (Hib) has been the most common s
Forest Owners' Response to Climate Change : University Education Trumps Value Profile
Do forest owners’ levels of education or value profiles explain their responses to climate change? The cultural cognition thesis (CCT) has cast serious doubt on the familiar and often criticized "knowledge deficit" model, which says that laypeople are less concerned about climate change because they lack scientific knowledge. Advocates of CCT maintain that citizens with the highest degrees of scie
Did democracy bring redistribution? Insights from the Spanish tax system, 1960-90
The relationship between democracy, inequality, and redistribution has inspired extensive research, but consensus is still elusive. In order to contribute to this discussion, the author analyzes the Spanish case, where transition to democracy was accompanied by a comprehensive tax reform, aiming at increasing progressivity and revenue. But how effectively did it change the distribution of the tax
STICKY INCOME INEQUALITY in the Spanish TRANSITION (1973-1990)
This paper investigates the evolution of income inequality in Spain during its transition to democracy, suggesting a method for the correction of under-reporting of earnings and profits in the Household Budget Surveys' data. The contribution is twofold: the methodological proposal, based on income-expenditure discrepancy and scaling-up to National Accounts, improves on previous work and can be use
Bypassing progressive taxation: fraud and base erosion in the Spanish income tax (1970-2001)
In this paper I estimate under-assessment of incomes in the Personal IncomeTax during the years following its introduction in Spain. The methodology combines an analysis of discrepancy with National Accounts and an econometric exercise, which follows and slightly modifies the Feldman and Slemrod (2007) procedure, based on the relation of reported charitable donations with the composition of income

Yoga as a treatment for hypertension in primary care. A quantitative and qualitative analysis conducted in Sweden
Introduction: Persistent hypertension is a key risk factor for coronary heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases, such as heart failure. For primary care physicians, hypertension is the number one diagnosis for office visits and for our communities, the treatment of high blood pressure (BP) and its consequences constitutes a substantial economic burden. Aim: To evaluate yoga as a tr

Modeling and Control of Server-based Systems
When deploying networked computing-based applications, proper resource management of the server-side resources is essential for maintaining quality of service and cost efficiency. The work presented in this thesis is based on six papers, all investigating problems that relate to resource management of server-based systems. Using a queueing system approach we model the performance of a database sys
The bacterial (Vibrio alginolyticus) production of tetrodotoxin in the ribbon worm Lineus longissimus - Just a false positive?
We test previous claims that the bacteria Vibrio alginolyticus produces tetrodotoxin (TTX) when living in symbiosis with the nemertean Lineus longissimus by a setup with bacteria cultivation for TTX production. Toxicity experiments on the shore crab, Carcinus maenas, demonstrated the presence of a paralytic toxin, but evidence from LC-MS and electrophysiological measurements of voltage-gated sodiu
Government Size and Growth: A Rejoinder
In our 2011 survey of the literature in the Journal of Economic Surveys on the effect of government size on economic growth in wealthy countries we find a relatively consistent pattern: An increase in government size by 10 percentage points is associated with a 0.5–1 percentage point lower annual growth rate. This conclusion is questioned by Colombier. In this rejoinder we present a rebuttal of Co
