Why are natural resources a curse in Africa, but not elsewhere? [PDF]

We study the nexus between natural resources and growth in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and find that SSA is indeed special: resources dependence retards growth in SSA, but not elsewhere. The natural resources curse is thus specific to SSA. We then show that

Characterization of Clinical Phenotype to Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Concentrations in Alexander Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine the concentration of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma in Alexander disease (AxD) and whether GFAP levels are predictive of disease phenotypes. Methods CSF and plasma were collected (longitudinally when available) from AxD participants and non‐AxD controls.

Characterising the metabolic rewiring of extremely slow growing Komagataella phaffii

Microbial Biotechnology
Retentostat cultivations have enabled investigations into substrate‐limited near‐zero growth for a number of microbes. Quantitative physiology at these near‐zero growth conditions has been widely discussed, yet characterisation of the fluxome is ...

Improved Mechanistic Degradation Modes Modeling of Lithium and Sodium Plating

Batteries
Lithium and sodium plating are inevitable when using negative electrodes with an electrochemical potential close to one of the charge carriers. Typical testing and modeling assume that plating occurs at 0 V when measured against the charge carrier. While

Do remittances dampen the effect of natural disasters on output growth volatility in developing countries? [PDF]

This paper analyzes the impact of natural disasters on the output growth volatility. Using a large sample of developing countries and mobilizing a dynamic panel data framework, it uncovers a diminishing macroeconomic destabilizing consequence of natural ...

Association of CDKN2A/B Homozygous Deletion and Extent of Resection With Survival of Patients With WHO CNS5 Grade 4 Astrocytoma

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives WHO grade 4 astrocytomas are associated with poor prognosis, and their prognostic factors remain controversial. This study aimed to identify the prognostic factors and develop a management algorithm for these patients. Methods This study retrospectively included 151 CNS5 adult grade 4 astrocytomas from two medical centers.

Protein production dynamics and physiological adaptation of recombinant Komagataella phaffii at near-zero growth rates

Microbial Cell Factories
Background Specific productivity (qP) in yeast correlates with growth, typically peaking at intermediate or maximum specific growth rates (μ). Understanding the factors limiting productivity at extremely low μ might reveal decoupling strategies, but ...

What Turns a Blessing into a Curse? The Political Economy of Natural Resource Wealth (Invited Lecture) [PDF]

I review the relationship between natural resource endowment type and economic growth in developing countries. Certain types of natural resources, such as oil and minerals, tend to exhibit concentrated production and revenue patterns, while revenue flows

Efficacy of Intermittent Theta‐Burst Stimulation for Prolonged Disorders of Consciousness: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Emerging evidence suggests that low‐frequency neural oscillations are dynamically regulated by consciousness levels, with the recovery of low cortical activity potentially serving as a neurophysiological substrate for conscious emergence. Targeted enhancement of these low‐frequency rhythms in patients with disorders of consciousness
