Nuts are rich in many nutrients that can benefit multiple cardiometabolic functions, including arterial compliance, blood pressure, inflammation, glucoregulation and endothelial vasodilatation. Impaired vasodilatation may contribute to impaired cognitive performance due to poor cerebral perfusion. The present narrative review examines associations between nut consumption, vascular health and co...

We pursue an inverse approach to utility theory and consumption & investment problems. Instead of specifying an agent’s utility function and deriving her actions, we assume we observe her actions (i.e. her consumption and investment strategies) and ask if it is possible to derive a utility function for which the observed behaviour is optimal. We work in continuous time both in a deterministic a...

We consider a model of non-renewable resource extraction where players do not know their opponents’ utility functions and form conjectures on the behavior of others. Two forms of beliefs are introduced, one based on the state of the resource, the other on this state and on the others’ strategy (their consumption). We focus on consistent equilibria, where beliefs must be consistent with observed...

Foods are required by living organisms for optimal growth, development and functioning of the different parts of the body [13]. Food is the major source of nutrients required for metabolic and cellular functions. Food based products are classified in various ways depending on the consumption, source, native and processing patterns. But among the various method of classification are ready to eat...

A voltage reference using a depletion-mode device is designed in a 0.13μm CMOS process and achieves ultra-low power consumption and sub-1V operation without sacrificing temperature and supply voltage insensitivity. Measurements show a temperature coefficient of 3.6ppm/C, line sensitivity of 0.033%/V, power supply rejection ratio of -67dB, and power consumption of 2.2pW. It requires only two dev...

We consider the infinite horizon optimal consumption-investment problem under the drawdown constraint, i.e. the wealth process never falls below a fixed fraction of its running maximum. We assume that the risky asset is driven by the constant coefficients Black and Scholes model. For a general class of utility functions, we provide the value function in explicit form, and we derive closed-form ...
