TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employ the Zipf rank approach to estimate the number of years that EU members would need to achieve convergence of their per capita incomes, assuming that trends in the past twenty years continue to hold in the future.
Abstract: We employ a concept popular in physics —the Zipf rank approach— in order to estimate the number of years that EU members would need in order to achieve convergence of their per capita incomes. Assuming that trends in the past twenty years continue to hold in the future, we find that after t≈30 years both developing and developed EU countries indexed by i will have comparable values of their per capita gross domestic product . Besides the traditional Zipf rank approach we also propose a weighted Zipf rank method. In contrast to the EU block, on the world level the Zipf rank approach shows that, between 1960 and 2009, cross-country income differences increased over time. For a brief period during the 2007–2008 global economic crisis, at world level the of richer countries declined more rapidly than the of poorer countries, in contrast to EU where the of developing EU countries declined faster than the of developed EU countries, indicating that the recession interrupted the convergence between EU members. We propose a simple model of GDP evolution that accounts for the scaling we observe in the data.

TL;DR: It is shown that NK cells eliminate tumor cells in vivo after receiving two signals and that selection for NKG2D‐L loss mutants provides a mechanism of tumor escape.
Abstract: Little is known on the control of lymphomas by NK cells. Here, we study the role of the NK group 2D (NKG2D) receptor for the immunosurveillance of lymphoma. By using transplantable tumors as well as a λ-myc-transgenic model of endogenously arising lymphoma and NKG2D-deficient mice, we show that NK cells eliminate tumor cells in vivo after receiving two signals. One step involved the activation of NK cells giving rise to IFN-γ expression, which was effected by MHCI(low) tumor cells or DCs. However, this was necessary but not sufficient to mediate cytotoxicity. Triggering cytotoxicity additionally required a second step, which could be mediated by engagement of the NKG2D receptor. Thus, NKG2D-deficient NK cells could become activated in vivo, but they were not able to reject transplanted lymphomas or to degranulate in animals bearing autochthonous lymphomas. Tumor growth in NKG2D-deficient λ-myc-transgenic mice was significantly accelerated compared to NKG2D-competent animals. Whereas the latter developed tumors that lost expression of NKG2D ligands (NKG2D-L) in late disease stages, this did not occur in NKG2D-deficient mice. This indicates that NK cells and the NKG2D receptor play a role for control of lymphomas and that selection for NKG2D-L loss mutants provides a mechanism of tumor escape.

TL;DR: Candida lipolytica yeast, grown on 1% methanol as the only carbon and energy source, synthesized 4.9% of dry cell mass aslipids, 52.3% of which were polar lipids, which were characterized by the relatively high concentration of unsaturated fatty acids.
