Outlook: Interest Rates Predicted to Rise Further in 2014
The global forecast for the Asian markets is positive on optimism over the outlook for interest rates. The European and U.S. markets were up and the Asian bourses are expected to open in similar fashion. The JCI finished modestly higher on Friday following gains from the resource and cement ...
The Fed is almost universally expected to begin lowering interest rates next week, but there is some debate about if the rate cut will be 25 basis points or 50. Crude oil prices slumped on Tuesday, ahead of the inflation data and on concerns over the health of the global economy. West T...
Thus, Castanet and Baéz59 provided evidence that extant and subfossil Canarian giant lizards of the genus Gallotia do not accelerate growth; instead, they attain a larger size by growing at similar rates as smaller insular species, but over a longer period, thereby postponing the onset of ...
Over the last few years, there has been a growing interest in using insects as a sustainable novel fish feed ingredient [8]. Although the production volumes of insects cannot yet compete with conventional feed sources [8], the approval for use of processed insects in aqua feed by the Europea...
As the number of larvae is decreased in a tributary, growth rates increase (Fig. 5) and metamorphosis can be reached earlier in life (see for example Fig. 1 where a faster growth trajectory changes the intersection with the reaction norm). However, by comparing results for simulations where ...
Time-frequency decomposition was conducted from 4 to 30 Hz using convolution of the single-trial time series with complex Morlet wavelets (4 cycles) in steps of 0.5 Hz in the frequency and 8 ms in the time domain. Power was averaged across trials for each condition of interest. ...
We find that the level of inter-subject correlation in the evoked encephalographic responses predicts the expressions of interest and preference among thousands. Surprisingly, ratings of the larger audience are predicted with greater accuracy than those of the individuals from whom the neural data is ...
Already, with short-term rates above 5 percent, ARMs are no longer an option, forcing those who cannot afford a home (but who believe real estate is a great investment) to take out interest-only loans. Just as Greenspan denied any existence of an Internet bubb...
with the highly efficient microbial communities producing nearly four times greater microbial biomass than low efficiency communities over the same time span. Despite this large increase in microbial biomass, rates of respiration were reduced by 25% compared to the low efficiency communities (Fig.6)....
