Optimal monetary policy rules : theory and estimation for OECD countries
No full textZhang W. Optimal monetary policy rules : theory and estimation for OECD countries. Bielefeld (Germany): Bielefeld University; 2004.This dissertation focuses on monetary policy rules in the OECD countries at both theoretical and empirical levels. It is divided into seven chapters.
Chapter 1 presents some recent literature on monetary policy rules and introduces the goal and organization of this dissertation.
Chapter 2 explores some empirical evidence of IS and Phillips curves, because these two equations have become baseline framework of monetary policy. Both backward- and forward-looking behaviors are considered. A time-varying Phillips curve is also estimated.
Chapter 3 discusses two important monetary policy rules: the money supply rule and the interest rate rule. Advantages and disadvantages of these two rules are explored.
Chapter 4 explores time-varying monetary policy rules with Chow break-point test and Kalman filter. The estimation results indicate that there are some structural changes in the monetary policy in the countries studied. The author also simulates the Euro-area economy under the assumption that the Euro-area had followed the time-varying US monetary policy in the 1990s and concludes that the monetary policy seems to be too tight in the Euro-area in the 1990s.
Chapter 5 explores monetary policy rules under uncertainty. The author first explores empirical evidence of model uncertainty with a state-space model with Markov-switching. Based on this evidence, the author then explores monetary policy under uncertainty with two approaches: the adaptive learning and the robust control. The results indicate that uncertainty does not necessarily require caution and that state variables do not necessarily converge even in a deterministic model with the adaptive learning.
Chapter 6 then explores monetary policy with financial markets. The author endogenizes the probability for the asset price bubble to increase or decrease in the next period and derives a nonlinear policy rule. The author also simulates the economy with financial asset in the presence of the zero-interest-rate bound and concludes that monetary policy should not ignore financial markets.
Chapter 7 presents some concluding remarks of the dissertation

Interaction between atrial natriuretic peptide and the renin angiotensin aldosterone system. Endogenous antagonists
No full textThe biologic actions of the cardiac peptide hormone atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) of vasorelaxation, diuresis and natriuresis, suppression of aldosterone, vasopressin release, and thirst are the opposite of those of the renin angiotensin system. This close relationship is further strengthened by the complementary localization of their receptors in the brain, adrenal gland, vasculature, and kidney. In many physiologic situations including postural changes, volume expansion, water immersion, high altitude, and lower body negative pressure, the plasma levels of ANP and angiotensin II change inversely. In congestive heart failure, renin and aldosterone levels may initially be suppressed by high levels of ANP. Similarly the low renin levels associated with increasing age and with elderly hypertensive patients, may be the result of the elevation of plasma ANP that occurs with aging. ANP may thus be the endogenous antagonist of the renin angiotensin aldosterone system. These two opposing systems allow fine-tuning of volume and pressure by the body
Podisus brevispinus Phillips 1992

(Mexico) Comments: Most older records for this species are under the name Podisus modestus (Dallas), which are misidentifications. Phillips (1983) determined that the true Podisus modestus of Dallas is a synonym of Podisus maculiventris, which left this species without a name. Her proposal (originally in her dissertation) of Podisus brevispinus as a new name for this species was finally published in Thomas’ (1992) review of New World asopines. Consequently, Froeschner (1988) still listed this species under the name Podisus modestus (Dallas, 1851). Phillips (1983), in her unpublished dissertation, among other records, provided locality data that confirm the above records from New Brunswick, Connecticut, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont, and Virginia; she also listed records from Kentucky, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, and Wisconsin that, if published, would represent new state records.Published as part of Rider, David A. & Swanson, Daniel R., 2021, A distributional synopsis of the Pentatomidae (Heteroptera) north of Mexico, including new state and provincial records, pp. 1-69 in Zootaxa 5015 (1) on page 9, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5015.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/515908
South African responses to Open Access publishing: a survey of the research community
No full textOpen access publishing offers wide benefits to the scholarly community and may also afford relief to financially embattled academic libraries. The progress of the open access model rests upon the acceptance and validation of open access journals and open archives or institutional repositories by the academic mainstream, particularly by publishing researchers. To what extent are the key actors in the South African research system aware of the advantages of open access? This article reports on the findings of a recent survey undertaken to assess the current awareness, concerns and depth of support for open access amongst local researchers, research managers and policy makers in South Africa. The study focuses on issues of quality, article or author charges and the established academic reward system. It concludes that within the prevailing framework, there is little prospect that academics would choose to publish within open access
journals. Recommendations for advocacy by the library community are proposed
