    In this paper we show, in an example, that the arbitrary behavior which results in an indeterminacy in the time path of a flexible exchange rate and is associated with "badly behaved" speculation has a manifestation under a regime of fixed rates in an indeterminacy in the time path of government holding of international reserves. Thus, to the extent that arbitrariness is characteristic of agents' behavior it is not resolve6 but only masked by the fixing of exchange rates.

    Spectral structure near the 11.3 micron emission feature

    If the 11.3 micron emission feature seen in the spectra of many planetary nebulae, H II regions, and reflection nebulae is attributable to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), then additional features should be present between 11.3 and 13.0 microns. Moderate resolution spectra of NGC 7027, HD 44179, BD+30 deg 3639, and IRAS 21282+5050 are presented which show evidence for new emission features centered near 12.0 and 12.7 microns. These are consistent with an origin from PAHs and can be used to constrain the molecular structure of the family of PAHs responsible for the infrared features. There is an indication that coronene-like PAHs contribute far more to the emission from NGC 7027 than to the emission from HD 44179. The observed asymmetric profile of the 11.3 micron band in all the spectra is consistent with the slight anharmonicity expected in the C-H out-of-plane bending mode in PAHs. A series of repeating features between 10 and 11 microns in the spectrum of HD 44179 suggests a simple hydride larger than 2 atoms is present in the gas phase in this object

    Genetically Encoded Whole Cell Biosensor for Drug Discovery of HIF-1 Interaction Inhibitors

    The heterodimeric transcription factor, hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), is an important anticancer target as it supports the adaptation and response of tumors to hypoxia. Here, we optimized the repressed transactivator yeast two-hybrid system to further develop it as part of a versatile yeast-based drug discovery platform and validated it using HIF-1. We demonstrate both fluorescence-based and auxotrophy-based selections that could detect HIF-1α/HIF-1β dimerization inhibition. The engineered genetic selection is tunable and able to differentiate between strong and weak interactions, shows a large dynamic range, and is stable over different growth phases. Furthermore, we engineered mechanisms to control for cellular activity and off-target drug effects. We thoroughly characterized all parts of the biosensor system and argue this tool will be generally applicable to a wide array of protein-protein interaction targets. We anticipate this biosensor will be useful as part of a drug discovery platform, particularly when screening DNA-encoded new modality drugs
