fections. However, we are seriously concerned that the lack of molecular methods to identify the different genospecies of Acinetobacter in this study makes the conclusions doubtful. A. baumannii is just one genospecies of the group Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-A. baumannii complex (ACB complex), which also includes genospecies A. calcoaceticus, A. nosocomialis, and A. pittii. As they are phenoty...

We study models of credit with limited commitment, which implies endogenous borrowing constraints. We show that there are multiple stationary equilibria, as well as nonstationary equilibria, including some that display deterministic cyclic and chaotic dynamics. There are also stochastic (sunspot) equilibria, in which credit conditions change randomly over time, even though fundamentals are dete...

The authors discussed the divergence in duration using a study they published in 2010 [2] and the VOYAG-R study [3]. While the overall design of both studies is similar, some key points are not. Importantly, ...
