The Determinants of Credit Spread Changes.
- Journal of Finance
, 2001
"... ABSTRACT Using dealer's quotes and transactions prices on straight industrial bonds, we investigate the determinants of credit spread changes. Variables that should in theory determine credit spread changes have rather limited explanatory power. Further, the residuals from this regression are ..."

are highly crosscorrelated, and principal components analysis implies they are mostly driven by a single common factor. Although we consider several macro-economic and financial variables as candidate proxies, we cannot explain this common systematic component. Our results suggest that monthly credit spread

"... Car sharing is available in several Australian cities, however, not yet in Perth. The key transport factors for the introduction of car sharing are high population density; access to alternative transport for the daily work commute; and the provision of dedicated parking bays. The extent to which th ..."

an environmental approach to car sharing with funding for nascent schemes often came from environmental agencies. A key factor for people joining a scheme was the availability of public transport. With Perth’s highly successful integrated ticketing system there is an opportunity for Perth to lead the way

"... Background: Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are generated from mouse and human somatic cells by the forced expression of defined transcription factors. Although most somatic cells are capable of acquiring pluripotency with minimal gene transduction, the poor efficiency of cell reprogramming and ..."

and the uneven quality of iPS cells are still important problems. In particular, the choice of cell type most suitable for inducing high-quality iPS cells remains unclear. Methodology/Principal Findings: Here, we generated iPS cells from PDGFRa + Sca-1 + (PaS) adult mouse mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and PDGFRa

"... Background: The Radical-Pair-Model postulates that the reception of magnetic compass directions in birds is based on spin-chemical reactions in specialized photopigments in the eye, with cryptochromes discussed as candidate molecules. But so far, the exact subcellular characterization of these molec ..."

of these molecules in the retina remained unknown. Methodology/Principal Findings: We here describe the localization of cryptochrome 1a (Cry1a) in the retina of European robins, Erithacus rubecula, and domestic chickens, Gallus gallus, two species that have been shown to use the magnetic field for compass

Background: Cytoplasmic dynein complex is a large multi-subunit microtubule (MT)-associated molecular motor involved in various cellular functions including organelle positioning, vesicle transport and cell division. However, regulatory mechanism of the cell-cycle dependent distribution of dynein ha ..."

Methodology/Principal Findings: Here we report live-cell imaging of cytoplasmic dynein in HeLa cells, by expressing multifunctional green fluorescent protein (mfGFP)-tagged 74-kDa intermediate chain (IC74). IC74-mfGFP was successfully incorporated into functional dynein

"... Background: Bupleurum polysaccharides (BPs), isolated from Bupleurum smithii var. parvifolium, possesses immunomodulatory activity, particularly on inflammation. Bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) triggers innate immune responses through Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) on host cell membrane. T ..."

. The present study was performed to evaluate whether the therapeutic efficacy of BPs on suppression of LPS’s pathogenecity could be associated with the modulating of TLR4 signaling pathway. Methodology/Principal Findings: LPS stimulated expression and activation of factors in the TLR4 signaling system
