Edwards, H.D.,Shelver, W.L.,Choi, S.,Nisbet, D.J.,Krueger, N.A.,Anderson, R.C.,Smith, S.B. Applied Science Publishers 2017 Food chemistry Vol.218 No.-

Lipolysis and biohydrogenation in ruminal animals promote the accumulation of saturated fatty acids in their meat and milk. Antibodies were generated against key ruminal lipase contributors Anaerovibrio lipolyticus, Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens, Propionibacterium avidum and acnes. An anti-Pseudomonas lipase antibody was generated to determine if an antibody against a purified protein would be more effective. Each bacterium was cultured and assayed without or with increasing levels of each antibody. Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens H17C also participates in biohydrogenation and therefore the antibody was tested to determine if it could effectively reduce biohydrogenation. Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens was assayed without and with the anti-B. fibrisolvens antibody and linoleic or α-linolenic acid. All antibodies were effective at reducing lipolysis with the anti-Pseudomonas lipase averaging a 78% reduction. The anti-B. fibrisolvens showed a tendency for a reduction (P=0.0713) in biohydrogenation products of α-linolenic acid. Results demonstrate that lipolysis and biohydrogenation can be immunologically inhibited in vitro.

Commercial Policy, Terms of Trade and the Equilibrium Real Exchange Rate

Edwards, Sebastian 세종대학교 국제경제연구소 1988 Journal of Economic Integration Vol.3 No.1

In modern theories of real exchange rate behavior movements in the equilibrium value of the real exchange rate will respond to changes in its determinants, including the terms of trade, underlying sustainable capital flows, and long term desired levels of protection (see Edwards, forthcoming). An important implication of this modern approach is that equilibrium movements in the real exchange rate do not require policy interventions. On the contrary, under these circumstances, policy actions aimed at precluding real movements will interfere with equilibrium changes, rendering the adjustment process more difficult. From a policy perspective a crucial aspect of real exchange rate analysis is to understand how the equilibrium real rate changes when the economy is subject to policy-induced or external disturbances. Once the behavior of the equilibrium real exchange rate is understood, it is possible to determine whether the real exchange rate, in a particular moment in time, is overvalued or undervalued. In this paper the effects of reforms of commercial policies (i.e., trade liberalization reforms) and terms of trade changes on the behavior of the equilibrium real exchange rate are analyzed in detail. The paper deals with some important theoretical aspects, and reviews the empirical literature on the subject. The paper is organized in the following form : In Section I the traditional theoretical aspects of the relationship between long run commercial policies and the equilibrium real exchange rate are reviewed. The discussion focuses first on the long-run case, where it is assumed that all factors of production can move freely across sectors next the short-run effects are analyzed ; here it is assumed that only one factor(labor) can move freely across sectors. The transition period is then briefly discussed. In Section II the effect of exogenous changes in the external terms of trade on the equilibrium real exchange rate are analyzed. It is shown that this case is similar to that of tariff changes. The main difference between them lies in the fact that changes in tariffs and changes in world terms of trade generate income effects of different magnitudes. In this section the Dutch Disease case is also discussed. In Section III the empirical literature on the subject is reviewed, and finally, in Section IV some concluding remarks are offered.

Q-MEASURES ON THE DUAL UNIT BALL OF A JB^⁎-TRIPLE

Edwards, C. Martin,Oliveira, Lina Korean Mathematical Society 2019 대한수학회지 Vol.56 No.1

Let A be a $JB^*$-triple with Banach dual space $A^*$ and bi-dual the $JBW^*$-triple $A^{**}$. Elements x of $A^*$ of norm one may be regarded as normalised 'Q-measures' defined on the complete ortho-lattice ${\tilde{\mathcal{U}}}(A^{**})$ of tripotents in $A^{**}$. A Q-measure x possesses a support e(x) in ${\tilde{\mathcal{U}}}(A^{**})$ and a compact support $e_c(x)$ in the complete atomic lattice ${\tilde{\mathcal{U}}}_c(A)$ of elements of ${\tilde{\mathcal{U}}}(A^{**})$ compact relative to A. Necessary and sufficient conditions for an element v of ${\tilde{\mathcal{U}}}_c(A)$ to be a compact support tripotent $e_c(x)$ are given, one of which is related to the Q-covering numbers of v by families of elements of ${\tilde{\mathcal{U}}}_c(A)$.

A Robust GPI Controller for Trajectory Tracking Tasks in the Limbs of a Walking Robot

Edwards Sánchez,Alberto Luviano,Alberto Rosales 제어·로봇·시스템학회 2017 International Journal of Control, Automation, and Vol.15 No.6

The study and development of walking robots implies solving several problems related with the design,dynamics, gait patterns, control and other topics inherent to their complex mechanism. One of the most importantproblems is the trajectory tracking tasks made by the degrees of freedom of each limb. Once the path planner hasestablished the correct trajectory to follow, is necessary to track it with the least possible error. This importanttask is made by a controller, and helps the robot to maintain a stable walking. In this work we have focused onproposing a GPI control law for a limb of a hexapod walking robot, in order to track smooth trajectories and rejectdisturbances present in the closed-loop system. We also present the dynamic model of the limb, the designedreference trajectories, control simulations and experimental results.

이야기형태의 성경본문을 설교하는법: 하나님의 이야기를 최상의 효과를 보도록 전달하는 방법

Edwards, J.Kent,신현수 평택대학교 2001 복음과 신학 Vol.4 No.1

우리 모두 신학교에서 공부할 때 설교에 관한 과정들을 택하였다. 우리는 하나님의 말씀을 오늘의 사람들에게 바로 전달하는 법을 배웠고 그것에 대해 감사해야 할 것이 우리에게는 많이 있다. 하지만 되돌아보면, 여러분의 설교 과정은 대부분 헬라 원전 주석과 관련하여 공부한 것들이었고 또한 서간문에 집중한다. 여러분이 이전에 공부한 설교학 과정은 갈라디아서와 로마서의 요점들을 어떻게 설교하는가를 가르쳤으나 이야기 양식이 성경을 어떻게 설교 하는가를 가르쳐 주지를 않았다. 이것은 유감스러운 일입니다. 왜냐하면 성경에는 서간문 이외에도 훨씬 많은 양식이 있기 때문이다. 성경은 다양한 양식의 작품이 모인 도서관이다. 성경은 교훈적인 오직 또는 우선적으로 교훈적인 작품으로만 구성되어 있지 않다. 하나님의 도서관에서 가장 큰 영역은 담화(이야기)이나 우리는 이것을 어떻게 설교하는지를 배우지 않았다.

REAL EXCHANGE RATE VARIABILITY : AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF THE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES CASE

EDWARDS, SEBASTIAN 한국국제경제학회 1987 International Economic Journal Vol.1 No.1

In this paper the relative importance of real and monetary factors in explaining recent real exchange rate, variability in developing countries have been investigated. The empirical evidence shows that in the last 15 years or so real exchange rate variability has increased significantly However, the degree of real exchange rate variability has been quite uneven across countries, with some countries experiencing variability almost ten times higher than others. In theory, long-run equilibrium real exchange rates depend on the behavior of a number of real variables including the terms of trade and the degree of openness of the economy [Mussa (1984)]. In the shorter run, however, real exchange rate movements will also be affected by monetary disturbances, including the instability of the nominal monetary policy. From a policy point of view it is important to determine the extent to which actual real exchange rate variability stems from monetary and real disturbances. If nominal policy-induced instability has been an important cause of real exchange rate variability, some policy options may be open to reduce it. In this paper data an a group of developing countries were used to investigate and assess the relative importance of monetary and real factors. The analysis focused both on long-wave and short-term variability The results, contrary to previous findings, indicate that real exchange rate variability has been caused both by monetary and real disturbances. with real variables being relatively more important in the explanation of long-wave instability and nominal variables playing a more prominent role in case of short-term instability. In terms of real disturbances the most prominent has been external terms of trade variability, which was found to have played an important role in the determination of long-run real exchange rate instability. In the shorter run, however, it was found that no real variable had been important. Regarding monetary disturbances, this study indicates that nominal exchange rate instability has been the major and more persistent source of short-term real exchange rate instability in this group of countries. From a policy perspective these results are important. They suggest that a stable nominal exchange rate policy will help to substantially reduce real exchange rate variability. There are a number of ways to reduce the degree of instability of the nominal exchange rate, including the adoption of any variant of crawling-peg systems. On the other hand, it is well known that nominal exchange rate instability is greatly enhanced by the adoption of a flexible rate system [Frenkel and Mussa (1982)]. To the extent that policymakers want to reduce real exchange rate variability, the result reported in this paper cautions them against adopting a floating rate system.
