This article aims at adding to the debate on the impacts of exchange rate misalignment on trade. It is the continuation of an article�The Missing Link between the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), published by JIEL (May 2013). The first article presented the evolution of the regulation of exchange rates under the IMF framework and its impacts to the …

There have been many successful attempts to analyse most of the rules and principles that make up the substance of the international law of foreign investment. There is, however, a lack of a general theory, or, at least, a tool which would allow us to analyse, compare, and make sense of this expanding patchwork of international rules on foreign investment. This article precisely aims at expla…

The Nekrasov partition function for supersymmetric gauge theories with general Lie groups is, so far, not known in a closed form, while there is a definition in terms of the integral. In this paper, as an intermediate step to derive the closed form, we give a recursion formula among partition functions, which can be derived from the integral. We apply the method to a toy model that reflects the…

We develop and validate a systematic approach to infer plate boundary strength and rheological parameters in models of mantle flow from surface velocity observations. Based on a realistic rheological model that includes yielding and strain rate weakening from dislocation creep, we formulate the inverse problem in a Bayesian inference framework. To study the distribution of parameters that are c…

Practical applications of controlled-source electromagnetic (EM) modelling require solutions for multiple sources at several frequencies, thus leading to a dramatic increase of the computational cost. In this paper, we present an approach using block Krylov subspace solvers that are iterative methods especially designed for problems with multiple right-hand sides (RHS). Their main advantage is…

The source parameters and slip distribution of the 2013 May 11 Mw 6.1 Minab earthquake are studied using seismology, geodesy and field observations. We observe left-lateral strike-slip motion on a fault striking ENE–WSW; approximately perpendicular to previously studied faults in the Minab–Zendan–Palami fault zone. The fault that ruptured in 2013 is one of a series of ∼E–W striki…

The PHENIX experiment at BNL’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) was designed to uncover properties of the quark–gluon plasma (QGP) via rare penetrating probes. Over the past 15 years, the collaboration has delivered on its promised measurements, often with exciting results beyond those originally foreseen. That the QGP behaves as a nearly perfect fluid and that non-photonic electrons…

Regional refinement of the gravity field models from satellite data using spherical radial base functions (SRBF) is an ill-posed problem. This is mainly due to the regional confinement of the data and the base functions, which leads to severe instabilities in the solutions. Here, this ill-posedness as well as the related regularization process are investigated. We compare three methods for the…
