TL;DR: This article examined the determinants of the market-assessed sovereign risk premium, measured by the Brady bond stripped yield spread, and found that the market's attitude towards risk is another important determinant.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a formal procedure for a stepwise approach to variable selection that involves sequentially maximizing or minimizing the average change in the efficiencies as variables are added or dropped from the analysis.

TL;DR: The results indicate that SSR loci are powerful tools for the analysis of population structure and that, in these populations, they provide a means of accurately examining two important parameters in conservation biology, gene flow and paternity.
Abstract: We have developed microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) genetic markers for the tropical tree Pithecellobium elegans (Mimosoideae). The frequency of this class of marker is estimated and the level and distribution of variability at these markers is assessed and contrasted to that found at isozyme markers in the same populations. The results indicate that SSR loci are powerful tools for the analysis of population structure and that, in these populations, they provide a means of accurately examining two important parameters in conservation biology, gene flow and paternity.

TL;DR: Lamb et al. as mentioned in this paper discuss their disagreements and attempt to find some common ground in their viewpoints on girls' sexuality, finding that adequate sexuality education and media literacy education are vital to optimizing adolescent girls' sexual empowerment.
Abstract: Although all feminists tend to value empowered female sexuality, feminists often disagree, sometimes heatedly so, about the definition of and path to empowered sexuality among adolescent girls. In this theoretical paper, two feminists, who have previously expressed differing perspectives regarding adolescent girls’ sexual empowerment (Lamb 2010a, b; Peterson 2010), discuss their disagreements and attempt to find some common ground in their viewpoints on girls’ sexuality. A critical question related to sexual empowerment is whether empowerment includes a subjective sense of efficacy, desire, and pleasure. In other words, are girls sexually empowered if they feel that they are empowered? The authors identify three themes that make answering this question particularly challenging—age differences, exposure to sexualized media, and the pressure to please a partner. Despite these challenges, the authors identify several points of consensus, including agreeing that adequate sexuality education and media literacy education are vital to optimizing adolescent girls’ sexual empowerment.

TL;DR: The magnitude of the mass ordering in d+Au is found to be smaller than that in p+Pb collisions, which may indicate smaller radial flow in lower energy d-Au collisions.
Abstract: We present azimuthal angular correlations between charged hadrons and energy deposited in calorimeter towers in central d+Au and minimum bias p+p collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. The charged hadron is measured at midrapidity |η| 2.75 is observed in d+Au collisions. Using the event plane method applied to the Au-going energy distribution, we extract the anisotropy strength v_{2} for inclusive charged hadrons at midrapidity up to p_{T}=4.5 GeV/c. We also present the measurement of v_{2} for identified π^{±} and (anti)protons in central d+Au collisions, and observe a mass-ordering pattern similar to that seen in heavy-ion collisions. These results are compared with viscous hydrodynamic calculations and measurements from p+Pb at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV. The magnitude of the mass ordering in d+Au is found to be smaller than that in p+Pb collisions, which may indicate smaller radial flow in lower energy d+Au collisions.
