A CLT for Plancherel representations of the infinite-dimensional unitary group
We study asymptotics of traces of (noncommutative) monomials formed by images
of certain elements of the universal enveloping algebra of the
infinite-dimensional unitary group in its Plancherel representations. We prove
that they converge to (commutative) moments of a Gaussian process that can be
viewed as a collection of simply yet nontrivially correlated two-dimensional
Gaussian Free Fields. The limiting process has previously arisen via the global
scaling limit of spectra for submatrices of Wigner Hermitian random matrices.

Occupational Asthma: New Low-Molecular-Weight Causal Agents, 2000–2010
Background. More than 400 agents have been documented as causing occupational asthma (OA). The list of low-molecular-weight (LMW) agents that have been identified as potential causes of OA is constantly expanding, emphasizing the need to continually update our knowledge by reviewing the literature. Objective. The objective of this paper was to identify all new LMW agents causing occupational asthma reported during the period 2000–2010. Methods. A Medline search was performed using the keywords occupational asthma, new allergens, new causes, and low-molecular-weight agents. Results. We found 39 publications describing 41 new LMW causal agents, which belonged to the following categories: drugs (n = 12), wood dust (n = 11), chemicals (n = 8), metals (n = 4), biocides (n = 3), and miscellaneous (n = 3). The diagnosis of OA was confirmed through SIC for 35 of 41 agents, peak expiratory flow monitoring for three (3) agents, and the clinical history alone for three (3) agents. Immunological tests provided evidence supporting an IgE-mediated mechanism for eight (8) (20%) of the newly described agents. Conclusion. This paper highlights the importance of being alert to the occurrence of new LMW sensitizers, which can elicit OA. The immunological mechanism is explained by a type I hypersensitivity reaction in 20% of all newly described LMW agents
