Estimation of a dynamic discrete choice model of irreversible investment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
In this paper we propose and estimate a dynamic structural model of fixed capital investment at the firm level. Our dataset consists of an unbalanced panel of Spanish manufacturing firms. Two important features are present in this dataset.

Structural insights into lacto‐N‐biose I recognition by a family 32 carbohydrate‐binding module from Bifidobacterium bifidum

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

Teaching in crisis: Anthropology under structural adjustment

open access: yesAnuac, 2016
In this paper I want to address the pressure of structural adjustment policies on teaching and learning anthropology. I will base my thoughts on the Spanish case but the reflexion is applicable to many other countries in Europe.

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

The World Bank and Its Poverty Eradication Strategies

open access: yesCzech Journal of International Relations, 2006
Since the 1970s, the World Bank has had a new goal: poverty eradication. This essay evaluates the Bank according to this objective. Persisting poverty judges the organisation's work negatively. The Bank's many policies were often even contradictory over

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...

On corporate capital structure adjustments [PDF]

open access: yesFinance Research Letters, 2015
Recent research has examined asymmetries in firms’ adjustments toward target leverage. Assuming firms mainly adjust their debt levels, Byoun (2008) finds that firms adjusting most quickly possess two important characteristics: above-target debt and a financing surplus.

Debt sustainability, structural breaks and non-linear fiscal adjustment: A testing application to Greek fiscal policy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Non-linear public debt adjustment and structural breaks in fiscal policy may affect tests of public debt sustainability. Existing studies address these issues separately. No study has considered both. We address this gap by focusing on Greece, one of the

Interplay between circadian and other transcription factors—Implications for cycling transcriptome reprogramming

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This perspective highlights emerging insights into how the circadian transcription factor CLOCK:BMAL1 regulates chromatin architecture, cooperates with other transcription factors, and coordinates enhancer dynamics. We propose an updated framework for how circadian transcription factors operate within dynamic and multifactorial chromatin landscapes ...

Debt, Structural Adjustment and Deforestation: A Cross-National Study

open access: yesJournal of World-Systems Research, 2015
We present cross-national models that examine the determinants of deforestation from 1990 to 2005 for a sample of sixty-two poor nations. We test dependency theory hypotheses that both debt and structural adjustment affect forests.
