Controlling Microsized Polymorphic Architectures with Distinct Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties

The authors regret that several errors appear in their manuscript which could affect the interpretation of their results. The corrected sections now appear here. On page two of the manuscript, to the right of Figure 1, the sentence referring to Figure 1e should read: Due to the difference in molecular configuration with respect to the α-phase, the intermolecular C–H…π interactions of the phenyl rings are not favored and, consequently, the DPFO molecules are organized in a centrosymmetric orthorhombic Pbca space group (point group mmm) (Figure 1e). At the very bottom of page five, in the right-hand column, the sentence leading onto the following page should read: The ≈12 nm redshift of the TPF signal of the microfibers compared with the microplates is in line with the shift observed in onephoton excited fluorescence (OPF) experiments… In the caption of Figure 4, where it refers to panels (c) and (d) of the figure, some panels were incorrectly labelled: c) A linear transmission image to show the outlines of microfibers and microplates, where nonlinear confocal images (e) and (f) were taken. d) The cross sections corresponding to the area highlighted by the yellow line in panel (c), by detecting TPF and SHG. On page seven, in the left column, a formula was incorrect in the sentence referring to Figure 5b. The complete and correct sentence is: The TPF of the horizontal microfiber reaches its maximum when the polarization angle is 90° or 270° (perpendicular to the fiber's long axis) with a polarization ratio of ρ = (Imax − Imin)/(Imax + Imin) of about 0.62 (Figure 5b). In Figure 5, some of the labels of the angular axis were missing from panels (c) and (d), and some experimental data points were missing at the base of panel (d).

The nature of export spillovers on trade: an analysis at NUTS 3 level in Italy

Using the region as unit of analysis, this article examines the existence of destination, industry and region-specific export spillovers on both the decision of export and subsequent flow of trade between 2004 and 2008, according to data on Italian nomenclature of units for territorial statistics 3 regions. We identify the source and quantify the effect of spillovers generated by other firms with a selection-bias corrected panel data model. Results show evidence of spillovers on both extensive (i.e. decision to start exporting) and intensive (i.e., export flow) margins of trade.

Going abroad on regional shoulders: the role of spillovers on the composition of regional exports

In this paper we examine the existence of destination, industry, and generic export spillovers at the regional level. The empirical analysis is conducted by examining data on export activity of one hundred three Italian NUTS 3 regions, the ten industries with the highest export values in the period 2004-2008, and the fifteen main countries of destination of Italy’s exports. In particular we analyse the decision of export and subsequent flow of trade and we aim to identify the source and quantify the effect of spillovers generated at the regional level by means of a selection-bias corrected panel data model. In order to control for the different territorial effects, three models are estimated. The first one uses all the observations in the period, the second one is estimated using only the regions located in the north-centre of Italy, and the last one is estimated considering the data from the south of Italy. With the inclusion of controls, results show a distinct effect of export industry, destination, and generic spillovers both on the intensive and extensive margins of trade. Spillovers at the start of export activity are stronger when specific by product while are stronger generically when analysing the export flow.

Did the late-2000s financial crisis influence construction labour productivity?

The late-2000s global financial crisis has wrought dramatic impacts on the construction industry. However, the issue of whether the crisis influenced the behaviours of the construction industry has not been addressed yet. This research presents an econometric approach to investigating the effects of the recent global financial crisis on construction labour productivity. By employing the error correction model and panel regression methods, the direct and indirect effects of the financial crisis on the changes in Australian construction labour productivity are explored at national and state levels. Neither the direct nor the indirect effects appear statistically significant. The results indicate that the direct effect of the financial crisis drives up construction labour productivity at the national level, while the indirect effect diminishes productivity. The effects of the financial crisis on the state construction labour productivity vary from state to state. The financial crisis influenced construction labour productivity directly and significantly in the northern and eastern regions, while the direct effects appear not significant in the other states and territories. The indirect effects of the financial crisis on productivity are statistically significant in three regions: the Australian Capital Territory, the Northern Territory and Western Australia. By comparison, the model with the financial effects fails to provide more accurate simulating results. As such, this research concludes that the influence of the late-2000s financial crisis on Australian national and state construction labour productivity is limited.

The role of the hippocampus in passive and active spatial learning.

Rats with lesions of the hippocampus or sham lesions were required in four experiments to escape from a square swimming pool by finding a submerged platform. Experiments 1 and 2 commenced with passive training in which rats were repeatedly placed on the platform in one corner—the correct corner—of a pool with distinctive walls. A test trial then revealed a strong preference for the correct corner in the sham but not the hippocampal group. Subsequent active training of being required to swim to the platform resulted in both groups acquiring a preference for the correct corner in the two experiments. In Experiments 3 and 4, rats were required to solve a discrimination between different panels pasted to the walls of the pool, by swimming to the middle of a correct panel. Hippocampal lesions prevented a discrimination being formed between panels of different lengths (Experiment 3), but not between panels showing lines of different orientations (Experiment 4); rats with sham lesions mastered both problems. It is suggested that an intact hippocampus is necessary for the formation of stimulus-goal associations that permit successful passive spatial leaning. It is further suggested that an intact hippocampus is not necessary for the formation of stimulus-response associations, except when they involve information about length or distance. © 2014 The Authors.

Eco-efficiency of the world cement industry and innovations: panel causality data analysis

Since the cement industry emits large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the sector is recently under scrutiny. This study empirically investigates the co-integration and the causality relationships between the carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) and the cement industries for the panel comprised of 109 countries using time series data for the period between 1995 and 2008. For the purpose of co-integration, the error correction model (ECM) and panel causality tests were applied in order to determine the aforementioned relation. Cement production was determined to be co-integrated with CO2 emissions. In the present study, the newly industrialised countries that execute 70% of the world cement production were determined to significantly affect the CO2 emissions, whereas the effect of advanced developed countries on the emissions were strikingly lower, due to the renewal of their production technologies.

Did the Recent Housing Boom Signal the Global Financial Crisis?

prediction of the current global crisis followed from two key observations: (i) the recent housing booms in the United States and other advanced countries were not explained by economic fundamentals; and (ii) historically similar financial booms eventually collapsed, leading to recession. This article provides an empirical framework linking observations and crisis prediction. We utilize vector error correction models and panel probit and logit models to show that tracking a single variable, real house prices, was sufficient to predict the current global crisis.

A Nonlinear IV Likelihood-Based Rank Test for Multivariate Time Series and Long Panels

A test for the rank of a vector error correction model (VECM) or panel VECM based on the well-known trace test is proposed. The proposed test employs instrumental variables (IV's) generated by a class of nonlinear functions of the estimated stochastic trends of the VECM under the null. The test improves on the standard trace test by replacing the non-standard critical values with chi-squared critical values. Extending the result to the panel VECM case, the test is robust to cross-sectional correlation of the disturbances. The nonlinear IV rank test also extends earlier research on nonlinear IV unit root tests. However, the optimal instrument in the univariate case is not admissible in the more general multivariate case. The chi-squared result suggests that IV tests may be used to replace limits of other standard tests with integrated time series that are given by nonstandard stochastic integrals, even without a panel with which to pool test statistics.

The Impact of Hurricanes on Housing Prices: Evidence from U.S. Coastal Cities

We investigate the effect of hurricane strikes on housing prices in US coastal cities. To this end, we construct a new index of hurricane destruction which varies over time and space. Using this index and an annual, two equation, dynamic equilibrium correction panel model with area and time fixed effects, we model the effects of hurricanes on real house process and real incomes. In our model hurricanes have a direct effect on house prices and an indirect effect via a fall in local incomes. Our results show that the typical hurricane strike raises real house prices for a number of years, with a maximum effect of between 3 to 4% three years after occurrence. There is also a small negative effect on real incomes. These results are stable across models and sub-samples.

Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm: Report of Three Cases.

Abstract 4703The World Health Organization (WHO) recently published a revised, updated edition of the WHO Classification of Tumours of the Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues, including new criteria for the recognition of some previously described neoplasms as well as clarification and refinement of the defining criteria for others. It also adds entities – some defined mainly by genetic and immunophenotypic features – that have only recently been characterized. Particularly, the diagnosis and classification of acute leukemias of ambiguous lineage is debated; among these: “blastic NK-cell lymphoma” and “agranular CD4+/CD56+ hematodermic neoplasms”. Both of them are now known to be, in virtually all cases, a tumor derived from precursors of a specialized subset of dendritic cells, plasmacytoid dendritic cells, and so are myeloid-related neoplasms defined as blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). This is a clinically aggressive neoplasm that is usually characterized at onset by solitary or multiple skin lesions, often with associated regional lymphadenopathy, and frequently by involvement of the PB and BM. Leukemic cells show submembranous cytoplasmic vacuoles and pseudopodia-like extensions of agranular cytoplasm. The blasts in such cases do not express myeloperoxidase or nonspecific esterase, and are characterized by the expression of CD4, CD43, CD56, CD123, BDCA-2/CD303, TCL1, and CLA; CD7 and CD33 are not uncommonly expressed as well, and TdT is expressed in about 30% of cases. There is no expression of CD34 or CD117. Here we report three cases with clinical data, cytological and immunophenotypic findings strongly suggesting the diagnosis of BPDCN. Case 1An 80 year-old-man was admitted to our institution on December 2006. He referred the occurrence of skin lesions since January 2005, when a diagnosis of extranodal B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma was made and treatment with conventional chemotherapy was performed, but without achieving any response. At our evaluation he presented leukocytosis (144 × 109/L) associated with purplish, firm nodules on the trunk, arms and face. Peripheral blood and bone marrow aspirate showed the presence of blast cells with a lymphoid appearance, granular periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) positivity and a high expression of CD33, CD4, and CD56. He was treated with AML-like therapy, but died of disease progression. Case 2A 79-year old woman was admitted in December 2006 with a 2-month history of anemia, splenomegaly, and weight loss of 10 kg in the last year. Laboratory tests were as follows: Hb, 41 g/L; leukocytes, 2.5 × 109/L (with 10% of blast cells); platelets, 43 × 109/L. No lymphadenopathy or skin lesions were present. Bone marrow examination revealed 41% of small to medium-sized blast cells without Auer rods or granula and negative reactivity to myeloperoxidase, esterase and PAS. She was treated with an AML-like protocol; she achieved partial response, but died after three months, of disease progression. Case 3A 69-year-old man was admitted to our Institution for cytopenia in June 2009. He referred the occurrence of brownish-purple firm nodules on the trunk since April 2009. At our evaluation he presented pancytopenia; bone marrow aspiration was performed and revealed infiltration by 65% of blasts with reticulated chromatin, evident nucleoli, a vacuolated cytoplasm and pseudopodia-like expansions. The blasts were negative for myeloperoxidase, monocyte esterase and PAS staining. Skin biopsy revealed a dermal infiltration by the same blastic-cell BM population. He underwent AML-like therapy and, although the skin lesions disappeared, 30% blastic bone marrow infiltration persisted.Morphological revision of these cases, selected for their peculiar immunophenotype reported in the following Table, revealed the same cytological features and cytochemical reactivity in cases 2 and 3; case 1 had a lymphoblastic-like morphology and showed PAS positivity, but the lack of cCD3 was not consistent with the diagnosis of ALL. All the cases were FLT3-ITD+. We suggest that a correct modern panel of MoAb with a careful morphological examination could help to pose the diagnosis of BPDCN, which typically affects older patients and is characterized by poor prognosis.CaseCD4CD56HLA-DR7.1cMPOcCD3cCD79aCD34CD117CD33CD3031++++-----+nt2++++-----++3++++-----++ Disclosures:No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
