    LDC Credit-risk Forecasting and Banker Judgement (2001)
    Oxford, UK and Boston, USA : Blackwell Publishers Ltd

    Notes: This paper uses Institutional Investor credit ratings of less-developed countries (LDCs) as indicators of banker judgement. We estimate a linear econometric model of the rating, and examine its predictive performance up to nine years out-of-sample. We conclude that the country-risk assessments of international banks can be validly replicated by a parsimonious econometric model, reflecting a simple combination of a small amount of data.

    Abnormal fibrils from scrapie-infected brain (1981)
    Springer

    Notes: Summary Abnormal fibrillary structures, designated “scrapie-associated fibrils” (SAF), have been observed using negative stain techniques in subfractions of brains from scrapie-affected animals. SAF have been observed in all combinations of strain of scrapie agent and strain or species of host examined, regardless of their histopathology, in particular the presence or absence of amyloid plaques. SAF consist either of two or four filaments. They are morphologically dissimilar to the normal brain fibrils — microtubules, neurofilaments, glial filaments, and F actin. However, SAF do bear a resemblance to amyloid.

    Ultrastructural morphology of amyloid fibrils from neuritic and amyloid plaques (1983)

    Notes: Summary The structure of partially purified, CNS amyloid fibrils from three different sources have been compared by negative stain EM. The fibrils isolated from brains with senile dementia of Alzheimer type were 4–8 nm in diameter, narrowing every 30–40 nm and apparently composed of two 2–4 nm filaments. The fibrils from a Gerstmann-Sträussler syndrome brain were 7–9 nm in diameter, narrowing every 70–80 nm and with a suggestion that they are composed of two 3–5 nm filaments. The fibrils isolated from 87V scrapie-affected mouse brains were 4–8 nm in diameter with a twist every 15–25 nm presumably composed of two 2–4 nm filaments. The fibrils from the scrapie brains were usually observed in pairs. The shape of the clusters of the isolated amyloid fibrils observed in each disease was similar in negative stain and thin section EM preparations and was related to the characteristic morphology of the amyloid fibrils in the neuritic and amyloid plaques in situ. The structural differences between the CNS amyloid fibrils from the various diseases studied by us may reflect differences in the polypeptides which comprise the fibril and/or a different pathogenesis in the formation of the amyloid fibrils.

    The association between PrP and infectivity in scrapie and BSE infected mouse brain (1996)
    Springer
    Archives of virology 141 (1996), S. 275-289

    Notes: Summary The structure of the scrapie agent remains unknown. However, scrapie infectivity tends to co-sediment with an infection specific fraction of the glycoprotein PrP (PrPSc) under conditions which solubilise the normal form of this protein (PrPc); accordingly, PrP has been proposed as a candidate component of the agent. To investigate this further we have been examining a new scrapie-related murine model in conjunction with established scrapie models. A bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) derived murine model has short incubation periods, high infectivity titre and low amounts of PrP deposited in the brain. A membrane fraction from scrapie/BSE infected brain is solubilised with Sarkosyl at pH⩾9.0. Most PrP is also solubilised. In models of the disease with little deposition of PrP in the brain, this solubilisation step is particularly effective in reducing the amounts of PrP sedimented from brain extracts. Gradient centrifugation of the sedimented fraction shows further separation of infectivity and the residual PrP. It is concluded that at least some PrPSc in the brain need not be associated directly with infectious agent but is deposited in brain solely as a pathological product of infection. However, a residual sedimentable fraction contains PrP which may be a component of the agent.

    The predictability of debt-servicing difficulties among less developed countries (1994)

    Notes: Abstract In this article, multivariate statistical models are derived for forecasting the emergence of arrears of debt-service among less-developed countries. The emphasis of the article is on prediction, and the criterion variable differs from that generally used in earlier research, which focuses on rescheduling. Out-of-sample tests are used to establish theex ante predictive utility of the derived models, which are found to have low error rates. Moreover, the predictive ability appears to be stable over time.
