1. Badinger, Harald; The demand for international reserves in the Eurosystem: (in English) In this paper we analyse the implications of the euro for the international reserves in the Eurosystem. Two conceptually different effects of the changeover have to be distinguished: a technical effect that largely arises as a matter of accounting, and a behavioural effect that stems from the fact that the optimal demand of the aggregate Eurosystem is not equal to the sum of the optimal country levels. The technical effect arises from two main sources: the abolishment of the ECU-creating mechanism, and the redefinition of international reserves which precludes (former) reserves that were denominated in euro-currencies. As a result the average reserves of the Eurosystem in 1999 amounted to $287 billion, considerably less than in 1998 ($345 billion). We then derive a reserve demand function for the aggregate Eurosystem using panel data estimation techniques and simulate reserve demand for the situation after the regime shift. The optimal aggregate level of reserves turns out to be some $188 billion, which implies excess reserves in the Eurosystem amounting to approximately $100 billion in the year 1999. We go on by proposing a key by which this excess could be allocated to the individual countries taking the asymmetric distribution of reserves in the Eurosystem into account. Finally we classify and enumerate the proposals for making use of the estimated reserve overhang.

1. ... ; Expense and benefit of neoadjuvant treatment in squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus: (in English) AbstractBackgroundThe effectiveness of neoadjuvant treatment (NT) prior to resection of squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus (SCCE) in terms of prolonged survival has not been proven by randomized trials. Facing considerable financial expenses and with concerns regarding the consumption of the patient's remaining survival time, this study aims to provide rationales for pretreating resection candidates.MethodsFrom March 1986 to March 1999, patients undergoing resection for SCCE were documented prospectively. Since 1989, NT was offered to patients with mainly upper and middle third T3 or T4 tumors or T2 N1 stage who were fit for esophagectomy. Until 1993, NT consisted of chemotherapy. Since that time chemoradiation has also been applied. The parameters for expense and benefit of NT are costs, pretreatment time required, postoperative morbidity and mortality, clinical and histopathological response, and actuarial survival.ResultsTwo hundred and three patients were treated, 170 by surgery alone and 33 by NT + surgery. Postoperative morbidity and mortality were 52% to 30% and 12% to 6%, respectively (p = n.s.). The response to NT was detected in 23 patients (70%). In 11 instances (33%), the primary tumor lesion was histopathologically eradicated. Survival following NT + surgery was significantly prolonged in node-positive patients with a median survival of 12 months to 19 months (p = 0.0193). The average pretreatment time was 113 ± 43 days, and reimbursement for NT to the hospital amounted to Euro 9.834.ConclusionsNT did not increase morbidity and mortality. Expenses for pretreatment, particularly time and costs, are considerable. However, taking into account that the results are derived from a non-randomized study, patients with regionally advanced tumor stages seem to benefit, as seen by their prolonged survival.

1. Langdon, Stephen J.; Glacier Bay Marine Reserve: Ruse or Responsible Proposal?: (in English) Author's Introduction: At the confluence of the eastern North Pacific Ocean and northwestern North America is an area of mountains, glaciers, forests, streams and inlets that have been in dramatic and continuous transformation for thousands of years. At the present time, most of the area north of Icy Straits, from the north Pacitic Ocean on the west to the Chilkat Mountains on the east, fall within the boundaries of Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. This park includes the most extensive expanse of marine waters in the National Park system and the use of and jurisdiction over these waters has been debated contentiously among groups with diametrically opposed vantage points on subsistence harvesting and commercial fishing for nearly twenty years. The waters and shores of Glacier Bay National Park are the ancestral homeland of the Huna, a subdivision of the Tlingit Indian people who have maintained their utilization of the waters and lands from the period prior to contact until the present time. The waters have also been utilized for commercial fisheries for over 100 years with both the Huna Tlingit and non-Native Euro-American fishermen engaged in the harvest of salmon, halibut, crab, cod, shrimp and rockfish fo the industry. While commercial fishing in the marine waters of the Park was authorized in the past, a shift in the policies of the National Park Service in the 1980s and continuing into the 1990s has led to a 20 year long battle about whether consumptive uses, either for subsistence as the Huna Tlingit have practiced, or commercial as the fishermen, both Tlingit and Euro-American have practiced, will continue. At the present time the National Park Service has under consideration a proposed rule considering five alternatives. The preferred alternative proposes the elimination of all commercial fishing in Glacier Bay proper within 15 years. Alternative three explicitly incorporates marine reserve concepts purporting to provide an opportunity for the National Park Service (NPS) and the State of Alaska to test the effectiveness of high-latitude marine reserves for various purposes(NPS 1998b:3). According to this alternative, all commercial fisheries for 'resident species' (i.e. those whose life cycle is restricted to Glacier Bay) would be phased out after seven years leaving only a winter troll fishery that harvests highly migratory king salmon to continue. Is the proposed Glacier Bay marine reserve a responsible proposal to preserve fish stocks or a ruse used to support the aims of environmental organizations to preclude commercial fishing from Glacier Bay? This paper will explore the intersecting and conflicting interests of local Tlingit groups, non-Native commercial fishermen, environmentalist groups (importantly divided into local and non-local sectors), and marine biologists concerning future uses of Glacier Bay. Who proposed the Marine Reserve? Whose interests are being served by designating Glacier Bay as a marine reserve? For what purposes is the reserve being created? These questions will be addressed through an examination of the history of the use of the area, its designation as 'special space' by the US government, and the ideologies (beliefs, values, and action programs) of those who express an interest in the area."

1. Enderlein, Henrik; Wirtschaftspolitik in der Waehrungsunion:Die Auswirkungen der Europaeischen Wirtschafts- und Waehrungsunion auf die finanz- und lohnpolitischen Institutionen in den Mitgliedslaendern: (in German) The dissertation shows that the start of EMU has resulted in institutional changes in the areas of fiscal policy-making and wage-setting in the Member States of the euro area. It argues that these changes were triggered by two factors: (i) in EMU, monetary policy can no longer be used as an instrument for output stabilisation; (ii) the None size fits alln monetary policy of the ECB potentially destabilises output in those Member States whose economic data diverge from the euro area average. Assuming that Member States seek to use fiscal policy or wage-setting in order to re-stabilise output, the theoretical part of the dissertation investigates the economic and political contexts in which the two instruments can be used as cyclical stabilisers and specifies the institutional pre-conditions for successful stabilisation. In a comparative part, the dissertation quantitatively assesses the interplay of monetary policy, fiscal policy and wage-setting in 10 euro area Member States over the pre-EMU era (Nstatus quo anten), arguing that the impact of the loss of monetary policy is higher in those countries that had relied on monetary policy as a cyclical stabiliser or those that had already encountered difficulties in stabilising output before EMU. The analysis then extrapolates potential problem-pressures resulting from the ECB monetary policy for each Member State and investigates whether the appropriate set of institutions to deal with this pressure had existed before EMU or whether institutional change could be expected as a reaction to it.In a qualitative part, institutional changes that have taken place in 10 Member States since the start of EMU are assessed (Nstatus quo postn) and compared to the theoretical expectations. The dissertation concludes that the asymmetric pattern of institutional adjustment in fiscal policy institutions and wage-setting institutions closely follows the approach presented in the theoretical part of the dissertation.

1. Eure, Kenneth W. II; Adaptive Predictive Feedback Techniques for Vibration Control: ... ; (in English) In this dissertation, adaptive predictive feedback control is used to suppress plate vibrations. The adaptive predictive controller consists of an on-line identification technique coupled with a control scheme. Various system identification techniques are investigated and implemented including batch least squares, projection algorithm, and recursive least squares. The control algorithms used include Generalized Predictive Control and Deadbeat Predictive Control. This dissertation combines system identification and control to regulate broadband disturbances in modally-dense structures. As it is assumed that the system to be regulated is unknown or time varying, the control schemes presented in this work have the ability to identify and regulate a plant with only an initial estimate of the system order. In addition, theoretical development and experimental results presented in this work confirm the fact that an adaptive controller operating in the presence of disturbances will automatically incorporate an internal noise model of the disturbance perturbing the plant if the system model order is chosen sufficiently large. It is also shown that the adaptive controller has the ability to track changes in the disturbance spectrum as well as track a time varying plant under certain conditions. This work presents a broadband multi-input multi-output control scheme which utilizes both the DSP processor and the PC processor in order to handle the computational demand of broadband regulation of a modally-dense plant. Also, the system identification technique and the control algorithm may be combined to produce a direct adaptive control scheme which estimates the control parameters directly from input and output data. Experimental results for various control techniques are presented using an acoustic plant, a rectangular plate with clamped boundary conditions, and a time varying plate.

2. Wilkinson, Elizabeth Leigh; Story as a Weapon in Colonized America: Harry Dyer, David Radcliffe, Robert Siegle, Jeff Corntassel; (in English) From first contact, Europeans and Euro-Americans have been representing North American indigenous peoples in literature. Non-Indian authors colonized American Indian stories and re-presented them through a Western worldview, which distorted and misrepresented Indian peoples. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow?s piece, Song of Hiawatha, published in 1855 is an early example of this, and Ann Rinaldi?s children?s book, My Heart Is on the Ground, is a contemporary example. However, Indian peoples are not mere victims. Using story as a weapon for ?decolonization,? American Indian authors have self-re-presented and, through literature, have fought for a more accurate, tribal specific presentation of self to the dominant culture. Zitkala-Sa (Gertrude Bonnin) authored decolonizing, autobiographical articles and short stories as early as 1901 and collected and published these in her text American Indian Stories in 1920. James Welch continued a legacy of tribal specific, American Indian authored literature with his 1986 publication, Fools Crow. Both texts work as weapons in the decolonization of American literature.

3. Meyerson, Richard; Compressive Creep of Prestressed Concrete Mixtures With and Without Mineral Admixtures: Dr. Richard M. Barker, Dr. Richard E. Weyers, Dr. Thomas E. Cousins; (in English) Concrete experiences volume changes throughout its service life. When loaded, concrete experiences an instantaneous recoverable elastic deformation and a slow inelastic deformation called creep. Creep of concrete is composed of two components, basic creep, or deformation under load without moisture loss and drying creep, or deformation under drying conditions only. Deformation of concrete in the absence of applied load is often called shrinkage. The deformation due to creep is attributed to the movement of water between the different phases of the concrete. When an external load is applied, it changes the attraction forces between the cement gel particles. This change in the forces causes an imbalance in the attractive and disjoining forces. However, the imbalance is gradually eliminated by the transfer of moisture into the pores in cases of compression, and away from the pores in cases of tension. Designs typically use one of the two code models to estimate creep and shrinkage strain in concrete, ACI 209 model recommended by the American Concrete Institute or the CEB 90 Eurocode 2 model recommended by the Euro-International Committee. The ASSHTO LRFD is based on the ACI 209 model. Three other models are the B3 model, developed by Bazant; the GZ model, developed by Gardner; and the SAK model developed by Sakata. The development of concrete performance specifications that limit the amount of compressive creep of concrete mixtures used by the Virginia Department of Transportation, specifically concrete mixtures used for prestressed members (A-5 Concrete) were assessed, along with determining the accuracy and precision of the creep models presented in the literature. The CEB 90 Eurocode 2 model for creep and shrinkage is the most precise and accurate predictor. The total strain for the VDOT portland cement concrete mixtures discussed in this study were found to be between 1200 ± 110 microstrain at 28 days, and 1600 ± 110 microstrain at 97 days, at a five percent significant level.

Fasol, Gerhard, Runge, Katharina; Selective electrodeposition of nanometer scale magnetic wires: A selective electrodeposition method for the fabrication of extremely thin and long metallic and magnetic wires and other nanostructures is introduced. Growth is done on the cleaved edge of a semiconductor multilayer structure incorporating a 4 nm wide modulation doped quantum well. This conducting quantum well is connected to the negative current contact during electrodeposition. Since electrodeposition requires the neutralization of positive metal ions from the solution, deposition takes place selectively onto the edge of the quantum well, leading to the fabrication of extremely thin magnetic metal wires, which should be useful for the investigation of the limits of magnetic storage., Comment: Revtex v3.1, 2 journal pages, 2 Figures avaible on request from g.fasol@ieee.org more information on website http://www.euro-technology.com [Text] [View with Perseus links] (2.14)
