TL;DR: In this paper, the authors diagnose the symptoms of the Dutch disease in a two-sector stochastic endogenous growth model and show a statistically significant inverse relationship between the size of the primary sector and economic growth but not between the volatility of the real exchange rate and growth.
Abstract: This paper diagnoses the symptoms of the Dutch disease in a two-sector
stochastic endogenous growth model. A productive, low-skill-intensive
primary sector causes the currency to appreciate in real terms, thus
hampering the development of a high-skill-intensive secondary sector and
thereby reducing growth. Moreover, the volatility of the primary sector
generates real-exchange-rate uncertainty and may thus reduce investment and
learning in the secondary sector and hence also growth. Cross-sectional and
panel regressions based on data for 125 countries in the period 1960–1992
confirm a statistically significant inverse relationship between the size of
the primary sector and economic growth, but not between the volatility of
the real exchange rate and growth.

TL;DR: Six new atrial fibrillation susceptibility loci implicate candidate genes that encode transcription factors related to cardiopulmonary development, cardiac-expressed ion channels and cell signaling molecules that are associated with stroke, heart failure and death.
Abstract: Atrial fibrillation is a highly prevalent arrhythmia and a major risk factor for stroke, heart failure and death. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in individuals of European ancestry, including 6,707 with and 52,426 without atrial fibrillation. Six new atrial fibrillation susceptibility loci were identified and replicated in an additional sample of individuals of European ancestry, including 5,381 subjects with and 10,030 subjects without atrial fibrillation (P < 5 × 10(-8)). Four of the loci identified in Europeans were further replicated in silico in a GWAS of Japanese individuals, including 843 individuals with and 3,350 individuals without atrial fibrillation. The identified loci implicate candidate genes that encode transcription factors related to cardiopulmonary development, cardiac-expressed ion channels and cell signaling molecules.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates for the first time the permanent disposal of CO2 as environmentally benign carbonate minerals in basaltic rocks and demonstrates that the safe long-term storage of anthropogenic CO2 emissions through mineralization can be far faster than previously postulated.
Abstract: Carbon capture and storage (CCS) provides a solution toward decarbonization of the global economy. The success of this solution depends on the ability to safely and permanently store CO2. This study demonstrates for the first time the permanent disposal of CO2 as environmentally benign carbonate minerals in basaltic rocks. We find that over 95% of the CO2 injected into the CarbFix site in Iceland was mineralized to carbonate minerals in less than 2 years. This result contrasts with the common view that the immobilization of CO2 as carbonate minerals within geologic reservoirs takes several hundreds to thousands of years. Our results, therefore, demonstrate that the safe long-term storage of anthropogenic CO2 emissions through mineralization can be far faster than previously postulated.

TL;DR: To identify density-elasticity relationships suitable for use in subject-specific FE studies, the development of a benchmark study is proposed, where the elasticity-density relationship is taken as the variable under study, and a numerical model of known numerical accuracy predicts experimental strain measurements.

TL;DR: Among children, symptoms such as snoring and apneic episodes are reported relatively seldom, but a high proportion of the children with these symptoms have hypoxic respiratory events, and a lower limit of the sleep apnea syndrome prevalence among preschool children is identified.
