Asymptotic properties of equilibrium in discriminatory and uniform price ipv multi-unit auctions
No full textThis paper confronts the tractability problems that accompany IPV auction models with multi-unit bidder demands. Utilizing a first order approach, the asymptotic properties of symmetric equilibria in discriminatory and uniform price auctions are derived. It is shown that as the number of bidders increases, equilibrium bids converge to valuations in both discriminatory auctions and uniform price auctions where the price paid is determined by the lowest winning bid, thus indicating that the limiting case of these auctions correspond to price taking as in neoclassical models of consumer behavior. However, when the uniform price paid is tied to the highest losing bid, price taking behavior does not ensue and ex post inefficient allocations ares possible. The impact of our results on analysis of k-double auctions with multi-unit bidders demands is also discussed.multi-unit auction, asymptotic equilibrium, efficiency
Litwini w Stanach Zjednoczonych Ameryki na przełomie XIX i XX wieku
No full textAt the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the United States was one of the most popular destinations for emigrants from the Lithuanian territories in the Russian Empire. They emigrated because they had no economic, social, or political perspectives in their homeland, which was part of the Russian Empire and the German Reich until 1918, when Lithuania proclaimed to be independent. The Lithuanians living in the Russian Empire were subjected to persecution as they were forbidden to speak their mother tongue or learn about their native history or culture. Moreover, they could not afford to buy land and were left landless and jobless mainly because of the unfavorable Russian policy to russify and economically exploit the areas controlled by the Tsar. In the pre-World War I period, the United States was a favourable country for Lithuanian emigrants because they could enjoy economic, social, and political freedom in that country. They could earn enough money to support their families left behind in their homeland, which often followed their relatives or friends living in the new land. It was much easier for them to find a job in the United States, where the Industrial Revolution created a massive demand for new workers. Lithuanian Americans lived next to other ethnic communities, which could unrestrictedly speak their native language, profess their own religion, learn about their history, establish their own political organisations, as well as issue their own newspapers or books. Such freedom encouraged American Lithuanians to integrate within their own community and to take advantage of opportunities they had never had in their homeland. As the United States was such an attractive place for the newcomers, the number of Lithuanians leaving the Russian Empire increased sharply. This was possible mainly because new railway lines were built in the Russian Empire, including the Lithuanian areas. Such routes led to ports in Germany, from where the emigrants sailed to the United States. Before World War I, hundreds of thousands of Lithuanian emigrants arrived in the United States to start their new lives. It must be said that Lithuanian Americans were successful as an ethnic community in the United States. They were strongly integrated. They cultivated their cultural values and sent money to their families in the United States and their relatives living in the Russian Empire. Lithuanian Americans established their own political organisations, which lobbied the US government as well as other political and economic organisations to support an independent Lithuania, contributed to the establishment of a Lithuanian mission in Washington D.C. and recognition of Lithuania by the US government as an independent state on 28 July 1922. The economic and social perspectives in the United Stated encouraged most Lithuanian emigrants to stay in the United States permanently, even when Lithuania became independent in 1918, and its inhabitants were no longer persecuted because of their ethnic origin.Na przełomie XIX i XX stulecia Stany Zjednoczone były jednym z najbardziej popularnych kierunków emigracyjnych dla ludności z terytoriów litewskich w Imperium Rosyjskim. Emigracja z tych terenów była popularna w tamtym czasie, ponieważ osoby emigrujące nie miały perspektyw gospodarczych, społecznych ani politycznych na swojej ziemi ojczystej, kontrolowanej przez Imperium Rosyjskie i Rzeszę Niemiecką do 1918 r., kiedy Litwa ogłosiła niepodległość. Litwini żyjący w Imperium Rosyjskim byli poddawani prześladowaniom, ponieważ zabraniano im porozumiewania się w języku ojczystym, uczenia się ojczystej historii lub kultury, oraz nie było ich stać na zakup ziemi i wielu z nich skazanych było na bezrobocie, głównie ze względu na niekorzystną politykę rosyjską polegającą na rusyfikacji i czerpaniu korzyści gospodarczych na terenach kontrolowanych przez cara. Przed I wojną światową, Stany Zjednoczone były bardzo popularnym krajem dla emigrantów litewskich, ponieważ w tym kraju mogli korzystać z wolności gospodarczej, społecznej i politycznej. Mogli zarobić wystarczająco pieniędzy dla swoich rodzin pozostawionych w ojczyźnie, którzy często podążali za ich krewnymi lub przyjaciółmi żyjącymi w nowym i dalekim kraju. Łatwiej było im znaleźć pracę w Stanach Zjednoczonych, gdzie rewolucja przemysłowa stworzyła ogromny popyt na nowych pracowników. Litwini amerykańscy mieszkali obok innych wspólnot etnicznych, które mogły bez ograniczeń porozumiewać się we własnym języku, wyznawać własną religię, poznawać własną historię, tworzyć własne organizacje polityczne, a także wydawać własne gazety lub książki. Taki rodzaj wolności zachęcał Litwinów amerykańskich do integracji we własnej społeczności i korzystania z możliwości niespotkanych w ich ojczyźnie. W związku z tym, że Stany Zjednoczone były tak atrakcyjnym krajem dla nowo przybyłych emigrantów, liczba Litwinów opuszczających rosyjskie imperium gwałtownie rosła. Było to możliwe głównie dlatego, że powstały nowe linie kolejowe w Imperium Rosyjskim, w tym na terenach litewskich, które prowadziły do portów w Niemczech, skąd emigranci płynęli do Stanów Zjednoczonych. Do wybuchu I wojny światowej setki tysięcy litewskich emigrantów przybyło do Stanów Zjednoczonych, aby rozpocząć nowe życie. Można stwierdzić, że Litwini amerykańscy odnieśli sukces jako społeczność etniczna w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Byli silnie zintegrowani. Pielęgnowali ojczystą kulturę i przekazywali zarobione pieniądze dla swoich rodzin w Stanach Zjednoczonych i krewnych żyjących w Imperium Rosyjskim. Litwini amerykańscy założyli również własne organizacje polityczne, które lobbowały rząd USA oraz inne organizacje polityczne i gospodarcze w celu wsparcia niezależnej Litwy, co w późniejszym okresie przyczyniło się do ustanowienia litewskiego przedstawicielstwa w Waszyngtonie i w końcu uznania Litwy przez rząd Stanów Zjednoczonych, jako niezależnego państwa 28 lipca 1922 r. Perspektywy ekonomiczne i społeczne w Zjednoczonym Stanowisku sprawiły, że większość emigrantów litewskich zdecydowały się na stały pobyt w Stanach Zjednoczonych, nawet gdy Litwa stała się niezależna w 1918 r., a jej mieszkańcy nie byli już prześladowani z powodu ich etnicznego pochodzenia.Wydział Historyczno-Socjologiczny, Uniwersytet w BiałymstokuU.S. Bureau of the Census.

Mitochondrial metabolism reveals a functional architecture in intact islets of Langerhans from normal and diabetic Psammomys obesus
No full textThe cells within the intact islet of Langerhans function as a metabolic syncytium, secreting insulin in a coordinated and oscillatory manner in response to external fuel. With increased glucose, the oscillatory amplitude is enhanced, leading to the hypothesis that cells within the islet are secreting with greater synchronization. Consequently, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM; type 2 diabetes)-induced irregularities in insulin secretion oscillations may be attributed to decreased intercellular coordination. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether the degree of metabolic coordination within the intact islet was enhanced by increased glucose and compromised by NIDDM. Experiments were performed with isolated islets from normal and diabetic Psammomys obesus. Using confocal microscopy and the mitochondrial potentiometric dye rhodamine 123, we measured mitochondrial membrane potential oscillations in individual cells within intact islets. When mitochondrial membrane potential was averaged from all the cells in a single islet, the resultant waveform demonstrated clear sinusoidal oscillations. Cells within islets were heterogeneous in terms of cellular synchronicity (similarity in phase and period), sinusoidal regularity, and frequency of oscillation. Cells within normal islets oscillated with greater synchronicity compared with cells within diabetic islets. The range of oscillatory frequencies was unchanged by glucose or diabetes. Cells within diabetic (but not normal) islets increased oscillatory regularity in response to glucose. These data support the hypothesis that glucose enhances metabolic coupling in normal islets and that the dampening of oscillatory insulin secretion in NIDDM may result from disrupted metabolic coupling. <br/

Annihilators of Artinian modules compatible with a Frobenius map
No full textIn this paper we consider Artinian modules over power series rings endowed with a Frobenius map. We describe a method for finding the set of all prime annihilators of submodules which are preserved by the given Frobenius map and on which the Frobenius map is not nilpotent. This extends the algorithm by Karl Schwede and the first author, which solved this problem for submodules of the injective hull of the residue field. The Matlis dual of this problem asks for the radical annihilators of quotients of free modules by submodules preserved by a given Frobenius near-splitting, and the same method solves this dual problem in the F-finite case. © 2013 Elsevier B.V
The Gates of Time: Improving Cache Attacks with Transient Execution
No full textFor over two decades, cache attacks have been shown to pose a significant risk to the security of computer systems. In particular, a large number of works show that cache attacks provide a stepping stone for implementing transient-execution attacks. However, much less effort has been expended investigating the reverse direction—how transient execution can be exploited for cache attacks. In this work, we answer this question. We first show that using transient execution, we can perform arbitrary manipulations of the cache state. Specifically, we design versatile logical gates whose inputs and outputs are the caching state of memory addresses. Our gates are generic enough that we can implement them in WebAssembly. Moreover, the gates work on processors from multiple vendors, including Intel, AMD, Apple, and Samsung. We demonstrate that these gates are Turing complete and allow arbitrary computation on cache states, without exposing the logical values to the architectural state of the program. We then show two use cases for our gates in cache attacks. The first use case is to amplify the cache state, allowing us to create timing differences of over 100 millisecond between the cases that a specific memory address is cached or not. We show how we can use this capability to build eviction sets in WebAssembly, using only a low-resolution (0.1 millisecond) timer. For the second use case, we present the Prime+Store attack, a variant of Prime+Probe that decouples the sampling of cache states from the measurement of said state. Prime+ Store is the first timing-based cache attack that can sample the cache state at a rate higher than the clock rate.We show how to use Prime+Store to obtain bits from a concurrently executing modular exponentiation, when the only timing signal is at a resolution of 0.1 millisecond.Daniel Katzman, William Kosasih, Chitchanok Chuengsatiansup, Eyal Ronen, Yuval Yaro
Pojedyncza dawka dobowa nifedypiny i felodypiny w leczeniu samoistnego nadciśnienia tętniczego - ocena wyników na podstawie 24-godzinnego monitorowania ciśnienia krwi
No full textBackground Extended-release preparations of two
calcium antagonists, nifedipine 30 mg and felodipine
5 mg, were compared for blood pressure control in
essential hypertensives, by use of office as well as
24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurements.
Methods This was a randomised, controlled, multicenter intervention study in Sweden and Finland. The
total number of patients was 48 males and females.
Results The result indicated that both drugs were
equally effective in achieving blood pressure control,
but increased pulse rate with 3-4 beats/minute compared to placebo.
Conclusions Both nifedipine and felodipine are equally effective in blood pressure control. Current clinical studies, such as INSIGHT, are investigating if this
effect on blood pressure by nifedipine is also of importance for the prevention of cardiovascular disease.Wstęp: Badano skuteczność kontroli ciśnienia tętniczego u chorych na samoistne ciśnienie tętnicze otrzymujących leki o przedłużonym uwalnianiu z grupy antagonistów wapnia; nifedypinę w dawce 30 mg albo felodypinę w dawce 5 mg. Do oceny wykorzystywano pomiary ciśnienia przeprowadzane w gabinecie lekarskim, jak i 24-godzinne, ambulatoryjne monitorowanie ciśnienia krwi. Metody: Przeprowadzono randomizowane, konrolowane, wieloośrodkowe, interwencyjne badanie kliniczne, którym objęto 48 osób, zarówno mężczyzn, jak i kobiet ze Szwecji i Finlandii.
Wyniki: Oba testowane leki charakteryzowały się porównywalną skutecznością kontroli ciśnienia tętniczego. Spowodowały ponadto przyspieszenie rytmu serca o 3-4 pobudzenia/min w porównaniu z placebo.
Wnioski: Nifedypina i felodypina są lekami o podobnej skuteczności kontroli ciśnienia tętniczego. Toczące się obecnie badania kliniczne, takie jak INSIGHT, mają wyjaśnić, czy efekt hipotensyjny nifedypiny może mieć znaczenie w zapobieganiu powikłaniom sercowo-naczyniowym
