An agent-based simulation of the stolper–samuelson effect
We demonstrate that agent-based simulations can exhibit results in line with classic macroeconomic theory. In particular, we present an agent-based simulation of an Arrow–Debreu economy that accurately exhibits the Stolper–Samuelson effect as an emergent property. Absent of a Walrasian auctioneer or any other central coordination, we let firm and consumer agents of different types interact in an open, money-driven market. Exogenous preference shocks result in price and wage shifts that are in accordance with the general equilibrium solution, not only qualitatively but also quantitatively with high accuracy. Key to this achievement are three independent measures. First, we overcome the poor input synchronization of conventional price finding heuristics of firms in agent-based models by introducing sensor prices, a novel approach to price finding that decouples information exploitation from information exploration. Second, we improve accuracy and convergence by employing exponential search as exploration algorithm. Third, we normalize prices indirectly by fixing dividends, thereby stabilizing the system’s dynamics

Toepassing van artikel 85 van die Nasionale Kredietwet in ’n aansoek om summiere vonnis
Voor die inwerkingtreding van die Nasionale Kredietwet 34 van 2005 (NKW)
in 2007 was dit ietwat ongehoord om in Suid-Afrika te hoor van wetgewing
gerig op verbruikersbeskerming. Een van die NKW se hoofdoelstellings is die
beskerming van skuldenaars. Skuldberading ingevolge artikel 86 is een van
die wyses waarop die wetgewer aan sodanige beskerming uiting gee. Artikel
85 bepaal dat ’n hof, in enige verrigtinge waarin ’n kredietooreenkoms ter
sprake kom en indien die skuldenaar beweer dat hy oorverskuldig is, die
kredietooreenkoms na ’n skuldberader mag verwys of self die skuldenaar
oorverskuldig verklaar en sy skuld herstruktureer. In die praktyk word artikel
85 hoofsaaklik by aansoeke om summiere vonnis met betrekking tot
ontroerende eiendom deur skuldenaars geopper. Artikel 85 verleen aan die
hof die diskresie om die kredietooreenkoms na ’n skuldberader te verwys
met die gevolg dat summiere vonnis uitgestel of gewysig kan word. Die onus
rus op die skuldenaar om die hof te oortuig om sodanige verwysing te beveel.
Die howe het ’n aantal aspekte geïdentifiseer wat oorweeg moet word by die
toepassing van die hof se diskresie. Hierdie artikel is ’n kritiese bespreking
van artikel 85 asook die uitleg daarvan deur die howe.http://www.dejure.up.ac.za
Phosphorylation of p125FAK and paxillin focal adhesion proteins in src-transformed cells with different metastatic capacity
AbstractHamster fibroblasts transformed by Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) display different metastatic potentials that are associated with specific structural features of the v-src oncoprotein. This diverse metastatic activity could be due to various tyrosine phosphorylation levels of specific src protein substrates. To check this hypothesis, phosphorylation of the FAK and paxillin proteins, involved in signal transduction pathways and known as src protein substrates, was tested. It was shown that FAK and paxillin are hyperphosphorylated in the high metastatic cell lines as compared with the phosphotyrosine level of these proteins found in the low metastatic cell lines. In addition, our data confirm that v-src protein plays a direct role in paxillin phosphorylation
