by Mordecai Kurz and Maurizio Motolese A very preliminary draft: February 2, 2010 Summary: Why do risk premia vary over time? We examine this problem theoretically and empirically by studying the effect of market belief on risk premia. Individual belief is taken as a fundamental, primitive, state variable. Market belief which is the distribution of individual beliefs is observable, it is centra...

BACKGROUND Olanzapine rapid-acting intramuscular (IM) injection is an atypical antipsychotic drug already used overseas and recently approved in Japan. The objective of this study was to confirm the efficacy of rapid-acting IM olanzapine 10 mg was greater than IM placebo in patients with exacerbation of schizophrenia with acute psychotic agitation by comparing changes from baseline to 2 hours a...

in this work we investigate the thermal entanglement between two-level atoms and photons in a nonlinear cavity. we consider intensity-dependent couplings and calculate the negativity, as a measure of atom-photonentanglement. the cavity is assumed to be at a temperature t, so that all number of photons, and at the same time, both atomic states, with definite probabilities, are present. we then d...

This report shows how to determine in analytic form the security prices implied by the market equilibrium model described by Fama in his book "Foundations of Finance", Chapter 8, Section III. The model assumes that all investors agree on the expected values and covariances of the random final prices at the end of an investment period. The investors interact so that the initial prices lead to an...

We develop a specification test and a sequence of model selection procedures for nonnested, overlapping, and nested models based on the second Hansen-Jagannathan distance, which requires a good asset pricing model to not only have small pricing errors but also be arbitrage free. Our methods have reasonably good finite sample performances and are more powerful than existing ones in detecting mis...

The T –odd top–quark chromoelectric dipole moment, d t , is probed through top–quark– pair production via gluon fusion at the CERN LHC with the possibility of having polarized proton beams in account. At 1-σ level, the typical CP-odd lepton energy and tensor correlations enable us to measure Re(d t) and Im(d t) up to the order of 10 −18 (g s cm) in the unpolarized case and the initial CP-odd gl...

Two 2x10 Gbit/s quaternary intensity modulation signals (4-IM) can be generated using quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), with unequal modulation amplitudes in two orthogonal quadratures. Two 10 Gbit/s NRZ ASK signals and a QPSK modulator allow to generate 4-IM with the same bandwidth as an NRZ-ASK signal. Measured sensitivity at a BER of 10 -9 and chromatic dispersion (CD) tolerance are –21...

background: despite the development of pediatric post-operative pain management and use of analgesic/narcotic drugs, post-operative pain remains as a common problem. some studies suggested, the most effective approach to controlling immediate post-operative pain may include a combination of drug agents and non-drug methods. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of music therapy on...
