Do Phoenix miracles exist ? firm-level evidence from financial crises
No full textThis paper provides empirical evidence on firm recoveries from financial system collapses in developing countries (systemic sudden stops episodes), and compares them with the experience in the United States in the 2008 financial crisis. Prior research found that economies recover from systemic sudden stop episodes before the financial sector. These recoveries are called Phoenix miracles, and the research questioned the role of the financial system in recovery. Although an average of the macro data across a sample of systemic sudden stop episodes over the 1990s appears consistent with the notion of Phoenix recoveries, closer inspection reveals heterogeneity of responses across the countries, with only a few countries fitting the pattern. Micro data show that across countries, only a small fraction (less than 31 percent) of firms follow a pattern of recovery in sales without a recovery in external credit, and even these firms have access to external sources of cash. The experience of firms in the United States during the 2008 financial crisis also suggests no evidence of credit-less recoveries. An examination of the dynamics of firms'financing, investment and payout policies during recovery periods shows that far from being constrained, the firms in the sample are able to access long-term financing, issue equity, and significantly expand their cash holdings.Debt Markets,Access to Finance,Bankruptcy and Resolution of Financial Distress,Emerging Markets,Economic Theory&Research

Space-Time Forecasting Using Soft Geostatistics: A Case Study in Forecasting Municipal Water Demand for Phoenix, AZ
No full textManaging environmental and social systems in the face of uncertainty requires the best possible forecasts of future conditions. We use space-time variability in historical data and projections of future population density to improve forecasting of residential water demand in the City of Phoenix, Arizona. Our future water estimates are derived using the first and second order statistical moments between a dependent variable, water use, and an independent variable, population density. The independent variable is projected at future points, and remains uncertain. We use adjusted statistical moments that cover projection errors in the independent variable, and propose a methodology to generate information-rich future estimates. These updated estimates are processed in Bayesian Maximum Entropy (BME), which produces maps of estimated water use to the year 2030. Integrating the uncertain estimates into the space-time forecasting process improves forecasting accuracy up to 43.9% over other space-time mapping methods that do not assimilate the uncertain estimates. Further validation studies reveal that BME is more accurate than co-kriging that integrates the error-free independent variable, but shows similar accuracy to kriging with measurement error that processes the uncertain estimates. Our proposed forecasting method benefits from the uncertain estimates of the future, provides up-to-date forecasts of water use, and can be adapted to other socioeconomic and environmental applications.

Mechanism of Fruit Ethanol Extract of Phoenix dactylifera on Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia in Rats
No full textThrombocytopenia occurs frequently in patients with hematologic disorders and other diseases in hospital.
Thrombocytopenia may cause bleeding, from mild to severe, which is treated for the patients. The cauese of death
in thrombocytopenia cases in hospital is mainly (80%) due to uncontrolled bleeding and lack of platelet
concentrates availability. The chemical on drugs that effectively to resolve thrombocytopenia through increase the thrombopoiesis mechanism still questioned. The purpose of this study was to explain the mechanism of the effect of fruit ethanol extract of Phoenix dactylifera L on thrombopoiesis increase in thrombocytopenia. The sample used 30 male rats were divided into 3 groups: negative control (K1): rats were given daily with CMC Na 0,5%; positive control (K2): rats were given heparin and CMC Na 0,5%; and the treatment group (K3): rats were given heparin and fruit ethanol extract of Phoenix dactylifera L dose of 10 mg /200 g BW. Furthermore, the cardiac blood sampling to calculate the amount of blood platelet and examination to bone marrow for expression of Hsp10, IL-6, cMpl, JAK2 with immunohistochemical methods. Result of this study showed that K3 (treatment group fruit ethanol extract of Phoenix dactylifera L) had significantly higher platelet counts (1125.50 ± 233.98) than con trol groups K1 (795.90 ± 224.75) and K2 (409.70 ± 79.67). T here were increased expression of Hsp10 in stromal cells, IL6 in macrophages, cMpl and JAK2 in the cells of megakaryocytes. From the results of this study concluded that fruit ethanol extract of Phoenix dactylifera L is a potential treatment for increase thrombopoiesis on heparin induced thrombocytopenia in rat
Phoenix-XNS - A Miniature Real-Time Navigation System for LEO Satellites
No full textThe paper describes the development of a miniature GPS receiver with integrated real-time navigation system for orbit determination of satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). The Phoenix-XNS receiver is based on a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) single-frequency GPS receiver board that has been qualified for use in a moderate space environment. Its firmware is specifically designed for space applications and accounts for the high signal dynamics in the acquisition and tracking process. The supplementary eXtended Navigation System (XNS) employs an elaborate force model and a 24-state Kalman filter to provide a smooth and continuous reduced-dynamics navigation solution even in case of restricted GPS availability. Through the use of the GRAPHIC code-carrier combination, ionospheric path delays can be fully eliminated in the filter, which overcomes the main limitation of conventional single-frequency receivers. Tests conducted in a signal simulator test bed have demonstrated a filtered navigation solution accuracy of better than 1 m (3D rms)
