SPATIAL AND SECTORAL PRODUCTIVITY CONVERGENCE BETWEEN EUROPEAN REGIONS, 1975-2000 [PDF]
This paper analyzes the evolution of labor productivity disparities among 145 European regions over 1975-2000 according to the concepts of ƒã- and ƒÒ-convergence and emphasizes the importance of including spatial effects and a disaggregated analysis at a

Using regression to improve local convergence
2007 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, 2007 Traditionally Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) choose candidate solutions based on their individual fitnesses, usually without directly looking for patterns in the fitness landscape discovered. These patterns often contain useful information that could be used to guide the EA to the optimum. While an EA is able to quickly locate the general area of a peak,

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Treatment of disorders of consciousness (DoC) remains a major clinical challenge, and noninvasive, targeted modulation of deep brain structures has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility/safety and preliminary effects of thalamic temporal interference stimulation (TIS) targeting centromedian‐

The political economy of international regulatory convergence in public utilities [PDF]
To what extent should public utilities regulation be expected to converge across countries? When it occurs, will regulatory convergence lead to positive outcomes for utility sectors? This paper attempts to provide new answers to these questions. Building

Global Rather Than Vertical‐Selective Saccadic Abnormalities in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective To test whether vertical saccades are preferentially affected in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). Methods PSP patients (n = 24) were compared to age‐matched controls (n = 94) and two degenerative groups (Alzheimer's disease, n = 20; Lewy body disease, n = 50).

Data‐Driven SuStaIn Model of Disability Progression in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective To determine whether ordinal Subtype and Stage Inference (SuStaIn) applied to routine ALSFRS‐R item scores can identify reproducible disability progression patterns in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and provide clinically meaningful staging.

Spatial dependence in models of state fiscal policy convergence [PDF]
We apply spatial econometric techniques to models of state and local fiscal policy convergence. Total tax revenue and expenditures, as well as broad tax and expenditure categories, of state and local governments in each of the 48 contiguous U.S.

MathematicsIn this paper, we investigate the local convergence of Schröder’s method for finding zeros of analytic functions with unknown multiplicity. Thus, we obtain a convergence theorem that provides exact domains of initial points together with error estimates ...
