The derived category of a non generic cubic fourfold containing a plane
We describe an Azumaya algebra on the resolution of singularities of the
double cover of a plane ramified along a nodal sextic associated to a non
generic cubic fourfold containing a plane. We show that the derived category of
such a resolution, twisted by the Azumaya algebra, is equivalent to the
Kuznetsov component in the semiorthogonal decomposition of the derived category
of the cubic fourfold.Comment: 14 pages, many edits and correction
Fourier-Mukai functors and perfect complexes on dual numbers
We show that every exact fully faithful functor from the category of perfect
complexes on the spectrum of dual numbers to the bounded derived category of a
noetherian separated scheme is of Fourier-Mukai type. The kernel turns out to
be an object of the bounded derived category of coherent complexes on the
product of the two schemes. We also study the space of stability conditions on
the derived category of the spectrum of dual numbers.Comment: 23 pages, Final version to appear in J. Algebr
On coherent sheaves of small length on the affine plane
We classify coherent modules on of length at most and supported
at the origin. We compare our calculation with the motivic class of the moduli
stack parametrizing such modules, extracted from the Feit-Fine formula. We
observe that the natural torus action on this stack has finitely many fixed
points, corresponding to connected skew Ferrers diagrams
Non Uniform Projections of Surfaces in
Consider the projection of a smooth irreducible surface in
from a point. The uniform position principle implies that the monodromy group
of such a projection from a general point in is the whole
symmetric group. We will call such points uniform. Inspired by a result of
Pirola and Schlesinger for the case of curves, we prove that the locus of
non-uniform points of is at most finite.Comment: 11 pages, no figures. This paper is a result of the work carried out

Physician dispensing and antibiotic prescriptions
The regulation on prescribing and dispensing of antibiotics has a double purpose: to enhance access to antibiotic treatment and to reduce the inappropriate use of drugs. Nevertheless, incentives to dispensing physicians may lead to inefficiencies. We sketch a theoretical model of the market for antibiotic treatment and empirically investigate the impact of self-dispensing on the per capita outpatient antibiotic consumption using data from small geographic areas in Switzerland. We find evidence that a greater proportion of dispensing practices is associated with higher levels of antibiotic use. This suggests that health authorities have a margin to adjust economic incentives on dispensing practices in order to reduce antibiotic misuse.Physician dispensing, Antibiotic use

Small area variations and welfare loss in the use of antibiotics in the community
This paper seeks to explain local variations in the use of antibiotics in the community and to assess the welfare loss due to heterogeneous attitudes towards the risk of bacterial infections and resistance. Significant differences are observed in the per capita antibiotic consumption measured in defined daily doses per 1000 inhabitants (DID) across small geographic areas in Switzerland. A model is proposed in which antibiotic use varies according to the socioeconomic characteristics of the population, the incidence of infections, antibiotic price and local supply of health care. Quarterly wholesales data on outpatient antibiotics in 2002 were obtained from IHA-IMS Market Research and combined with WHO standardized doses to obtain DID. The paper finds that the most important determinants of variations in outpatient antibiotics use in the community are income, demographic structure of the population and local supply and price of antibiotic treatment. We estimated that unexplained variations may account for 11% of the total antibiotic spending in the community, thus leading to a âŹ6ml loss per year.antibiotic use, small area variations, welfare loss
