The Inflation-Output Volatility Tradeoff and Exchange Rate Shocks in Mexico and Turkey
Using a standard Vector Autorregresion with Autocorrelated Time Varying Covariances this paper finds evidence of a vertical inflation-output volatility tradeoff in Mexico and Turkey. It is found, contrary to common economic wisdom, that there is no tradeoff between output and inflation so that monetary policy affects only prices. In addition, it is observed that the exchange rate crucially affects the dynamics of prices, inflation and output. The pass-through from exchange rate to inflation is high and significant in both economies and periods of high exchange rate volatility are associated with unstable rates of inflation. Also, in agreement with many other studies, it is shown here that nominal depreciations are contractionary.Inflation-output Tradeoff, Exchange Rates, BEKK Models
Structure of 3-(3,5-Dimethylpiperidino)-\u3cem\u3eN\u3c/em\u3e-(\u3cem\u3ep\u3c/em\u3e-Chlorophenyl)Succinimide
In the title molecule, 3-(3,5-dimethylpiperidino )-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,5-pyrrolidinedione (1), the N-(p-chlorophenyl) substituent is rotated by 68.8° relative to the succinimide plane. The piperidinyl ring has a chair conformation with all substituents in equatorial positions; the conformation around the piperidino-succinimide C--N bond is staggered
\u3cem\u3eβ\u3c/em\u3e-Homopipitzolone
The structure of β-homopipitzolone (one of the two isomers of an intermediate product in the homocedrole synthesis) has been unequivocally established as 1 O-hydroxy-2,6,9-trimetbyltricyclo[6.3.1.01,6] dodeca-9-ene-5, II, 12-trione with relative IR,2R,6R,8S configuration
Fully dissipative relativistic lattice Boltzmann method in two dimensions
In this paper, we develop and characterize the fully dissipative Lattice
Boltzmann method for ultra-relativistic fluids in two dimensions using three
equilibrium distribution functions: Maxwell-J\"uttner, Fermi-Dirac and
Bose-Einstein. Our results stem from the expansion of these distribution
functions up to fifth order in relativistic polynomials. We also obtain new
Gaussian quadratures for square lattices that preserve the spatial resolution.
Our models are validated with the Riemann problem and the limitations of lower
order expansions to calculate higher order moments are shown. The kinematic
viscosity and the thermal conductivity are numerically obtained using the
Taylor-Green vortex and the Fourier flow respectively and these transport
coefficients are compared with the theoretical prediction from Grad's theory.
In order to compare different expansion orders, we analyze the temperature and
heat flux fields on the time evolution of a hot spot

Keys to academic success for under-represented minority young investigators: recommendations from the Research in Academic Pediatrics Initiative on Diversity (RAPID) National Advisory Committee.
BackgroundAlthough Latinos, African-Americans, and American Indians/Alaska Natives comprise 34% of Americans, these under-represented minorities (URMs) account for only 7% of US medical-school faculty. Even when URMs become faculty, they face many substantial challenges to success. Little has been published, however, on keys to academic success for URM young faculty investigators.MethodsThe Research in Academic Pediatrics Initiative on Diversity (RAPID) goal is to enhance the professional advancement of URM junior faculty pursuing research careers in general academic pediatrics. One important RAPID component is the annual mentoring/career-development conference, which targets URM residents, fellows, and junior faculty, and has included 62 URM participants since its 2013 inception. A conference highlight is the panel discussion on keys to academic success for URM young investigators, conducted by the RAPID National Advisory Committee, a diverse group of leading senior researchers. The article aim was to provide a guide to academic success for URM young investigators using the 2018 RAPID Conference panel discussion. A modified Delphi technique was used to provide a systematic approach to obtaining answers to six key questions using an expert panel: the single most important key to success for URM young investigators; ensuring optimal mentorship; how to respond when patients/families say, "I don't want you to see my child because you are ____"; best strategies for maximizing funding success; how to balance serving on time-consuming committees with enough time to advance research/career objectives; and the single thing you wish someone had told you which would have substantially enhanced your success early on.Results/conclusionsThis is the first published practical guide on keys to academic success for URM young investigators. Identified keys to success included having multiple mentors, writing prolifically, being tenaciously persistent, having mentors who are invested in you, dealing with families who do not want you to care for their child because of your race/ethnicity by seeking to understand the reasons and debriefing with colleagues, seeking non-traditional funding streams, balancing committee work with having enough time to advance one's research and career by using these opportunities to generate scholarly products, and asking for all needed resources when negotiating for new jobs
A Lloyd-model generalization: Conductance fluctuations in one-dimensional disordered systems
We perform a detailed numerical study of the conductance through
one-dimensional (1D) tight-binding wires with on-site disorder. The random
configurations of the on-site energies of the tight-binding
Hamiltonian are characterized by long-tailed distributions: For large
, with . Our
model serves as a generalization of 1D Lloyd's model, which corresponds to
. First, we verify that the ensemble average is proportional to the length of the wire for all values of
, providing the localization length from . Then, we show that the probability distribution
function is fully determined by the exponent and
. In contrast to 1D wires with standard
white-noise disorder, our wire model exhibits bimodal distributions of the
conductance with peaks at and . In addition, we show that
is proportional to , for , with , in
agreement to previous studies.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
