Fast kinetics of the reactions of hydroxyl radicals with nitrone spin traps

The technique of spin trapping with nitrone spin traps nas gained wide acceptance as a method for estimating·OH yields in ESR studies. In our study, fast optical kinetic techniques applied to a series of these traps (PBN, 2-PyBN, 3-PyBN, 4-PyBN, 3-PyOBN and 4-PyOBN) reveal relaxation spectra that indicate two absorption maxima with different time constants, with all except 4-PyOBN showing second order behavior. These two spectral regions show different kinetics. Thus, two reaction sites are indicated, only one of which is necessarily a measure of initial · OH when ESR methods are used. One other trap (DMPO) after · OH reaction decays in one mode suggesting that its final product might be useful as a measure of initial · OH. Also, our ESR evidence shows that OH detection can be improved significantly by spin trapping -hydroxyalkyl radicals formed by · OH attack on alcohols.

Complex dynamics in equilibrium asset pricing models with boundedly rational,heterogeneous agents

We study a simple model based upon the Lucas framework where heterogeneous agents behave rationally in a fully intertemporal setting but do not know other investors' personal preferences, wealth or investment portfolios. As a consequence, agents initially do not know the equilibrium asset pricing function and must make guesses, which they update via adaptive learning with constant gain. We demonstrate that even in this simple environment the economy can, depending on parameters, exhibit either stable convergence to equilibrium, or chaotic dynamical behavior of asset prices and trading volume without converging to the rational expectations equilibrium of the Lucas model. This contradicts the assertion that the Lucas model is stable in the face of modest deviations from the strong assumptions required to compute the equilibrium. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
