This paper contributes to the literature on balance-of-payments constrained growth by investigating how structural change identified with changes in the sectoral composition of exports and imports affects the external ...

We propose a new method to probe a possible time evolution of the fine structure constant α from X-ray and Sunyaev-Zel’dovich measurements of the gas mass fraction (fgas) in galaxy clusters. Taking into account a direct ...

Incomplete markets and non-default borrowing constraints increase the volatility of pricing kernels and are helpful when addressing assetpricing puzzles. However, ruling out default when markets are in complete is suboptimal. ...

Through the analyses of the Miyazawa-Jernigan matrix it has been shown that the hydrophobic effect generates the dominant driving force for protein folding. By using both lattice and off-lattice models, it is shown that ...

Abstract. The objective of this research is to develop an approach to representing and satisfying constraints during the cooperative configuration design of complex objects with hierarchical structure. Designers often ...

Functional residues in proteins tend to be highly conserved over evolutionary time. However, to what extent functional sites impose evolutionary constraints on nearby or even more distant residues is not known. Here, we ...
