This article examines incentives for postponing retirement in Spain. Employees who delay after meeting eligibility requirements may choose between a lump-sum payment or lifelong pension increase. The analysis focuses on factors influencing this choice, including initial amount, contribution period, expected growth, subjective discount rate, and gender (affecting life expectancy). paper calculates the minimum post-retirement survival period required to justify selecting monthly incentive,...

Abstract After a human rabies outbreak in southeastern Peru, we collected bats to estimate the prevalence of various species. Among 165 from 6 genera and 10 species, 10.3% were antibody positive; was similar vampire nonvampire bats. Thus, may also be source for Peru.

Background At the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic, non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) unprecedented scope and duration were implemented to limit community spread COVID-19. There remains limited evidence about how these measures impacted lived experience affected communities. This study captured early impacts coping strategies in King County, Washington, one first U.S. communities by Methods We conducted a cross-sectional web-based survey 793 English- Spanish-speaking adult County...

We introduce an explicit function that describes virus-load curves on a patient-specific level. This is based simple and intuitive model parameters. It allows virus load analysis of acute viral infections without solving full dynamic model. validate our data from mice influenza A, human rhinovirus data, A monkey SARS-CoV-2 data. find wide distributions for the parameters, reflecting large variability in disease outcomes between individuals. Further, we compare to established target dynamics,...

Histones H1 or linker histones are highly dynamic proteins that diffuse throughout the cell nucleus and associate with chromatin (DNA associated proteins). This binding interaction of histone is thought to regulate organization DNA accessibility transcription factors has been proven involve a kinetic process characterized by population associates weakly rapidly dissociates another resides at site for up several minutes before dissociating. When considering differences between these two...

Los modelos CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) constituyen una buena herramienta para evaluar la interacción de flujos complejos con obras costeras. Estos permiten reemplazar las fórmulas empíricas estimación del sobrepaso, cuya validez es limitada a condiciones experimentales. Sin embargo, su uso aún incipiente en el contexto chileno, planteando diversos desafíos los usuarios.
 En este estudio se presenta calibración y validación un canal olas numérico mediante modelo OpenFOAM solver...

Abstract We introduce an explicit function that describes virus-load curves on a patient-specific level. This is based simple and intuitive model parameters. It allows virus load analysis without solving full dynamic model. validate our data from influenza A as well SARS-CoV-2 infection for Macaque monkeys humans. Further, we compare the to established target of dynamics, which shows excellent fit. Our offers new way analyse patient data, it can be used input higher level models...

This paper considers a static game in which player makes decision the first moment of whether or not to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and then nature acts. In making takes into consideration expected costs benefits being inoculated terms income. The relative speed with vaccines have reached market has caused some parts population concerned about possible side effects vaccination and, as result, part is reluctant take vaccine. papers finds that according statistics on pandemic's evolution...

This paper analyses the extent to which additional extraordinary public spending accelerate vaccination might have been optimal in terms of minimising deficit. We use a budget model whose key variable is present value cumulative net government revenues over period time. The main finding that there an level expenditure minimises loss tax revenue. could be around 3.25 times needed vaccinate entire population. result seems quite robust different assumptions about contagion rate, number hours...

Governments around the world have provided credit guarantees to ensure that companies with liquidity problems during COVID-19 pandemic could find bank financing. In Spain, as of 30 September 2021, Liquidity Guarantee Lines managed by public financial agency ICO had €100 billion. Public guarantee schemes (PGSs) no immediate impact on fiscal balances, but they generate contingent debt. this paper we propose a model estimate expected value increase in debt resulting from. According our...

Abstract In this article, we introduce and study the carryover of a saddle-node bifurcation, concept that describes how bifurcation dynamical system is carried over into an extended obtained by transforming one parameters original variable. We show additional transversality singularity conditions are needed to guarantee provide graphical methodology with two-parameter diagram verify such met. The results applied gene activation model when parameter describing signal for transformed variable,...
