Excessive financial secrecy facilitates illicit flows, which constitute a major developmental challenge for low-income economies and cause significant tax revenue losses governments around the world. In this paper we estimate semi-elasticity of cross-border assets to changes in how it differs countries at various income levels. We develop new dataset 2011–20 period, covers many specific policie...

Northern Hemisphere's carbon dioxide emissions. "That's much more than any terrestrial plant ecologist would have considered likely," Tans said. Conserving tree and plant populations, he added, might raise their carbon dioxide uptake even higher. Understanding how carbon cycles through plants is vital to decreasing global warming. By burning fuel and clearing forests, human activity generates 7...

Slaughter cattle (n = 360), selected and allocated to types according to their phenotypic breed type characteristics, were slaughtered in lots of 15 head at a large commercial packing plant. By-product weights were obtained for these lots of 15 head after plant personnel had separated the by-products according to plant procedures. Percentage of slaughter weight in each by-product was calculated...

As computer and network intrusions become more and more of a concern, the need for better capabilities to assist in the detection and analysis of intrusions also increases. We propose a methodology for analyzing network and computer log information visually based on the analysis of user behavior. Each user’s behavior is the key to determining their intent and overriding goals, whether they atte...

Data extraction: Data were extracted from FDA and sponsor documents and corroborated with published articles when available. Thirty-day survival was assessed by metaanalysis using a fixed-effects model and time-dependent risk by Kaplan-Meier analysis with Cox proportional hazards regression modeling. Where deaths were described within a range of days after treatment, an extreme assumption was m...

Neurodegenerative diseases are a burden of our century. Although significant efforts were made to find a cure or relief to this scourge, their pathophysiology remains vague and the cellular function of the key involved proteins is still unclear. However, in the case of amyloid β (Aβ), a key protein concerned in Alzheimer disease, we are now a step closer in the unscrambling of its cellular func...
