This paper shows that large economic downturns may result from the propagation of microeconomic shocks over the input-output linkages across different firms or sectors within the economy. Building on the framework of Acemoglu et al. (2012), we argue that the economy’s input-output structure can fundamentally reshape the distribution of aggregate output, increasing the likelihood of large downtu...

BACKGROUND As the most common form of dementia, Alzheimer disease is characterized by progressive loss of memory and deterioration of cognitive functions. It is predicted that about 75.63 million people would suffer from dementia by 2030. Apart from conventional remedies, the application of herbal medicines is on the rise. There are numerous natural medicaments reported in the traditional manus...

662 Emerging Infectious Diseases • www.cdc.gov/eid • Vol. 13, No. 4, April 2007 Two thirds of the patients in this outbreak had documented exposure to 1 of 2 lizard species, and half of the patients had pet lizards in their homes. In 2001, the estimated number of households with lizards was 545,000, which represents ≈0.5% of all American households (5). Using a standard binomial model, the prob...

In this paper, we present further results in processor-cache affinity scheduling of parallel network protocol processing, in a setting in which protocol processing executes on the multiprocessor host concurrently with a general workload of non-protocol activity. In earlier work [31, 32] we evaluated affinity-based scheduling of receive-side protocol processing under two parallelization approach...

We propose a quantization of the Painlevé system of type A (1) l studied by M. Noumi and Y. Yamada [13]. This quantization has the affine Weyl group symmetry of type A (1) l (l ≥ 2) as well as the Lax representation. For even l, the quantized system of type A (1) l can be obtained as the continuous limit of the discrete system constructed from the affine Weyl group symmetry of type A (1) l+1 .
