This cross-sectional cohort study assessed the inequalities in oesophageal carcinoma risk by age, sex and nativity in Kuwait: 1980–2019. Methods Using oesophageal cancer incidence data from the Kuwait National Cancer Registry, relevant Kuwaiti population data and World Standard Population as a reference, age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR) (per 100,000 person-years) overall and by subcohorts were computed.

Undirected graphical models or Markov random fields have been a popular class of models for representing conditional dependence relationships between nodes. In particular, Markov networks help us to understand complex interactions between genes in biological processes of a cell.

Chapter 25 - Macroeconomic policy. In this chapter you will consider whether policymakers should try to stabilize the economy, consider whether monetary policy should be made by rule rather than by discretion, consider whether the central bank should aim for zero inflation, consider whether fiscal policymakers should reduce the government debt, consider whether the tax laws should be reformed to encourage saving.

Lecture 19 - Five debates over macroeconomic policy. After reading this chapter, you should be able to answer the following questions: Should monetary and fiscal policymakers try to stabilize the economy? Should monetary policy be made by rule rather than by discretion? Should the central bank aim for zero inflation? Should the government balance its budget? Should the tax laws be reformed to encourage saving?

The rapid growth of high-throughput sequencing-based microbiome profiling has yielded tremendous insights into human health and physiology. Data generated from high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicons are often preprocessed into composition or relative abundance.

Deep sequencing of transposon mutant libraries (or TnSeq) is a powerful method for probing essentiality of genomic loci under different environmental conditions. Various analytical methods have been described for identifying conditionally essential genes whose tolerance for insertions varies between two conditions.

With the rapid development of single-cell genomics, technologies for parallel sequencing of the transcriptome and genome in each single cell is being explored in several labs and is becoming available. This brings us the opportunity to uncover association between genotypes and gene expression phenotypes at singlecell level by eQTL analysis on single-cell data.

In this paper we deal with the recent (1995-2018) Federal Reserve operated monetary policies, which were two unprecedented and distinct monetary policy regimes. The inflation stabilization era (1995-2008) and the zero interest rate era (2008-2015). These different monetary policy regimes provided different outcomes for inflation, interest rates, financial markets, personal consumption, and real economic growth.

Notwithstanding the fact that the policy rate is near its zero lower bound, the Federal Reserve retains a number of tools and strategies for providing additional stimulus. I will focus here on three that have been part of recent staff analyses and discussion at FOMC meetings: (1) conducting additional purchases of longer-term securities, (2) modifying the Committee’s communication, and (3) reducing the interest paid on excess reserves. I will also comment on a fourth strategy, proposed by several economists--namely, that the FOMC increase its inflation goals. ...

The return on a nominal bond can be decomposed into two components: a real rate of return and a compensation for the erosion of purchasing power arising from inflation. For conventional government nominal zero coupon bonds, such as those in the example above, the nominal return is certain (provided it is held to maturity) but the real return is not (because inflation is uncertain). An index-linked zero coupon bond would have its value linked to movements in a suitable price index to prevent inflation eroding its purchasing power (so its ‘real value’ is protected).
