Is There Hysteresis in Unemployment in OECD Countries？ Evidence From Panel Unit Root Test With Structural Breaks

This study tests the hysteresis hypothesis of unemployment in fifteen OECD countries by using panel unit root tests which allow for structural breaks. We apply annual unemployment rates covering 1985-2008 periods. We test whether unemployment rates are stationary by using second generation tests which allow cross section dependency among series and panel unit root test based on structural break advanced by Carrion-i-Silvestre, Barrio-Castro and Lopez-Bazo （2005）. We find series as a stationary process with structural breaks according to Carrion-i Silvestre et al. （2005） test, while we find series as unit root process with second generation panel unit root test. According to the Carrion-i Silvestre et al. （2005） test, we find the evidence of absence of hysteresis in analyzed countries. As a result, temporary shocks have temporary effects on unemployment instead of permanent effect. Structural factors can affect the natural rate of unemployment and, therefore, unemployment would be stationary around a process that is subject to structural breaks. So, there still exists a unique natural rate of unemployment to which the economy eventually will converge.

Structural, mechanical, and electronic properties of 25 kinds of Ⅲ–Ⅴbinary monolayers: A computational study with first-principles calculation

Using first-principle calculations, we investigate the mechanical, structural, and electronic properties and formation energy of 25 kinds of Ⅲ–V binary monolayers in detail. A relative radius of the binary compound according to the atomic number in the periodic table is defined, and based on the definition, the 25 kinds of Ⅲ–V binary compounds are exactly located at a symmetric position in a symmetric matrix. The mechanical properties and band gaps are found to be very dependent on relative radius, while the effective mass of holes and electrons are found to be less dependent. A linear function between Young’s modulus and formation energy is fitted with a linear relation in this paper. The change regularity of physical properties of B–V(V = P, As, Sb, Bi) and Ⅲ–N(Ⅲ = Al, Ga, In, Tl) are found to be very different from those of other Ⅲ–V binary compounds.

Investigation of structural parameters and self-aggregation of Algerian asphaltenes in organic solvents

Elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared （FTIR）, 1H-NMR, fluorescence spectroscopy, and surface tension methods have been used to characterize the molecular structure and the aggregation behaviors of two asphaltenic fractions derived, respectively, from an Alge- rian petroleum well and a corresponding storage tank deposit. Elemental analysis, FTIR, ~H-NMR, and fluores- cence spectroscopy were used to investigate the chemical composition and structural parameters of asphaltenes, while the surface tension method was used to measure the critical micelle concentration （CMC） in organic solvents with different solubility parameters and polarities in order to characterize the asphaltenes＇ aggregation behaviors. Results show that the unstable asphaltenes fraction extracted from the storage tank deposit possesses a higher polarity （higher heteroatoms content） and a lower aro- maticity than stable asphaltenes from the petroleum well. The CMC results indicate that asphaltenes with high polarity and low aromaticity have a high solubility in polar solvents such as nitrobenzene, whereas asphaltenes with low polarity and high aromaticity are more soluble in solvents with weak polarity, like toluene. It is concludedthat the difference of structure of asphaltene samples and polarity of solvents can lead to difference of aggregation behaviors.

We have prepared the 2-（quinolin-8-yloxy）-acetic acid and characterized it by infrared and Raman spectroscopies in the solid phase. The Density Functional Theory （DFT） method, together with the 6-31G^＊ and 6-311＋＋ G^＊＊ basis sets, show that three stable molecules, for the anhydrous and monohydrated compounds were theoretically determined in the gas phase, and that probably the two more stable conformations are present in the solid phase of the monohydrated compound. The harmonic vibrational wavenumbers for the optimized geometries were calculated at B3LYP/6-31G^＊and B3LYP/6-311＋＋G^＊＊ levels. For a complete assignment of all the observed bands in the vibrational spectra the DFT calculations were combined with Pulay＇s scaled quantum mechanical force field （SQMFF） methodology in order to fit the theoretical Wavenumber values to the experimental ones. The characteristics of the electronic delocalization of all structures of both forms were performed by using natural bond orbital （NBO）, while the corresponding topological properties of electronic charge density are analysed by employing Bader＇s atoms in molecules theory （AIM）.

Synthesis,structural characterization and solubility of 2-(1-substituted-1,11-undecylidene)-5-arylimino-△~3 -1,3,4-thiadiazolines

A series of novel 2-（1-substituted-1,11-undecylidene）-5-arylimino-△^3-1,3,4-thiadiazolines （4） were synthesized and their structure was characterized by ^1H NMR, ^13C NMR and elemental analysis. Their solubility in both polar and non-polar solvents is significantly improved owing to the introduction of ethyl or methylthio group at cyclododecyl ring as compared with parent compounds [1, 2-（1,11-undecylidene）-5-arylimino-△^3-1,3,4-thiadiazolines]. However, their fungicidal activity against Rhizoctonia solani is less than that of parent compounds. X-ray diffraction analysis of a representative compound （4d） showed that the conformation of 12-membered ring is still [3333], in which the ethyl group present at the side-exo position and the thiadiazoline ring at the comer carbon. The thiadiazoline plane is perpendicular to the cyclododecyl one.

Structural Basis for the Interaction of 14-3-3<i>β</i>with Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle Intermediate Malate

The protein family of 14-3-3(s) has risen to a position of higher importance as an adaptor protein in cell biology. The seven highly conserved human 14-3-3 proteins coordinate diverse cellular processes including apoptosis, DNA damage response, protein trafficking, and others. In liver hepatocytes, 14-3-3β binds to Ser196-phosphorilated glucose-responsive carbohydrate response element-binding protein (ChREBP) to inhibit converting excess carbohydrate to fat by regulating the nuclear/cytosol trafficking of ChREBP. Here, we report X-ray crystal structures of homodimeric mammalian 14-3-3β in its apo, Malate-bound forms. The determined apo structure was captured with one monomer in the closed state, whereas the other one had an open conformation. Strikingly, 14-3-3β binds Malate dynamically with a double-closed state, which is distinct from all previously characterized 14-3-3(s) and target ligand-binding modes. Malate docks into a first-time observed cofactor pocket located at the concaved interface of 14-3-3β helices α2, α3, α4 through mainly electrostatic and hydrogen interactions. Such a Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle intermediate Malate bond model might offer a new approach to further analyze insulin-independent 14-3-3/ChREBP pathway of de novo fat synthesis in the liver.

Capital Structure and Natural Rate of Unemployment： An Empirical analysis

The model based on Marxism economics such as capital structure ,capital deposit and capital cycles measure directly natural rate of the unemployment. The natural rate of unemployment is decided by the capital per worker, capital structure and average wage. According to the model the natural rate of the unemployment is empirical from 1991 to 2009.the result shows that the ascendant trend is very obvious. At last, according to the model, adjusting economic structure and regulating income distribution can reduce natural rate of unemployment.

Structural Properties of Early-Type Galaxies from the SDSS DR2

Two-dimensional bulge/disk light decomposition with GIM2D in both the r- and g-bands has been applied to a sample of 129 early-type galaxies brighter than 13.5 magnitude in the r-band, selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 2. Intensity-weighted Fourier coefficient （α4/α） was also derived for each sample galaxy. Our analysis shows that there are correlations between bulge-to-total light ratio （B/T） with bulge Sersic index nB and between bulge and disk scale sizes. Isophotal shape parameter （α4/α） is not correlated with BIT and riB. Both bulge and disk components satisfy a color-magnitude relation. The space Fundamental Plane analysis shows that galaxies with larger B/T tend to lie tighter and closer to the line of k1 ＋ k2 = 8 （the so-called ＂zone of avoidance＂） than the galaxies with smaller B/T. It indicates that existence of the disk component may lead to scatter of the distribution on the Fundamental Plane. Our analysis also shows that k1 ＋ k2 correlates with （g-r） color and B/T, but does not correlate with （α4/α） for early-type galaxies. The fitted parameters and other retrieved parameters used in this paper for all sample galaxies are available online.

Expression,Purification and Structural Characterization of Mouse Talin-1 Head Δ139-168

Talin-1 head(hereinafter referred to as TH)is the head structure of talin protein,which contains a four-point-one-protein/ezrin/radixin/moesin(FERM)domain.Its F1 domain contains an unstructured loop of 30 amino acids(139-168),which does not interact with other domains.Because TH doesn’t get the crystal structure and whether the unstructured loop has obvious influence on the TH secondary structure,therefore,the truncated talin-1 headΔ139-168(hereinafter referred to as THΔ)was constructed and its structure and the impact of stability after truncation were analyzed.Molecular biology and structural biology methods were used to construct prokaryotic expression vectors of TH and THΔ,explore and optimize the expression conditions of recombinants,and they were purified by affinity chromatography and FPLC gel filtration chromatography.Finally,a large number of stable,high-purity protein samples were prepared successfully.The physicochemical properties and structural stability of the proteins were investigated by dynamic light scattering and circular dichroism.The results showed that the THΔsecondary structure of the truncated body did not change significantly,the structural stability was enhanced and the resistance to guanidine hydrochloride and high temperature was stronger.

From Quantitative Issues to Structural Ones: An Interpretation of China's Labor Market

Based on the latest demographic and labor data, this paper reveals the changes in China＇s labor supply and demonstrates that China＇s key employment issues are no longer quantitative contradictions but increasingly have become structural issues related to labor market mismatch. Due to real and potential economic growth rates being consistent, cyclical unemployment is, at least for now, not striking. If traditional policy measures continue to be followed in disregard of frictional and structural attributes of the labor market to increase total employment, not only will China＇s employment issues persist but new labor market problems may arise as well China should focus on addressing structural unemployment contradictions.

Periodic oscillation and fine structure of wedge-induced oblique detonation waves

An oblique detonation wave for a Mach 7 inlet flow over a long enough wedge of 30 turning angle is simulated numerically using Euler equation and one-step rection model.The fifth-order WENO scheme is adopted to capture the shock wave.The numerical results show that with the compression of the wedge wall the detonation wave front structure is divided into three sections：the ZND model-like strcuture,single-sided triple point structure and dual-headed triple point strucuture.The first structure is the smooth straight,and the second has the characteristic of the triple points propagating dowanstream only with the same velocity,while the dual-headed triple point structure is very complicated.The detonation waves facing upstream and downstream propagate with different velocities,in which the periodic collisions of the triple points cause the oscillation of the detonation wave front.This oscillation process has temporal and spatial periodicity.In addition,the triple point trace are recorded to obtain different cell structures in three sections.

Continental- Margin Structure of Northeast China and Its Adjacent Areas

The continental margin of Northeast China and its adjacent areas is composed of two tectonic belts. The inner belt is a collage made up of fragments resulting from breakup of an old land with the north part related to the evolution of the Palaeo-Asian Ocean and the south part to the evolution of the Palaeo - Pacific Ocean. The outer belt is a Mesozoic terrane, which is a melange made up of fragments of the Late Palaeozoic to Early Mesozoic oceanic crust and the Late M esozoic trench accumulations.There existed another ocean-the Palaeo - Pacific Ocean during the period from the closing of the Palaeo-Asian Ocean to the opening of the modern Pacific Ocean or from the Devonian to Jurassic, and the ocean-floor spreading of the Palaeo - Pacific Ocean led to the formation of the above-mentioned tectonic belts. The development of the strike-slip fault system after the Late Jurassic and the formation of an epicontinental volcano -plutonic rock belt in the Late Cretaceous to Early Tertiary are attributed to the interaction between the modern Pacific plate and the Eurasian plate.
