  • Periodicity in US FDA Medical Devices Applications Author
    Periodicity in US FDA Registered Medical Devices Author: Daizadeh, I. Title: Seasonal and Secular Periodicities Identified in the Dynamics of US FDA Medical Devices (1976‐ 2020): Portends Intrinsic Industrial Transformation and Independence of Certain Crises Author: Iraj Daizadeh, PhD, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, 40 Landsdowne St. Cambridge, MA, 02139, [email protected] Abstract: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates medical devices (MD), which are predicated on a concoction of economic and policy forces (e.g., supply/demand, crises, patents), under primarily two administrative circuits: Premarketing Notifications (PMN) and Approvals (PMAs). This work considers the dynamics of FDA PMNs and PMAs applications as an proxy metric for the evolution of the MD industry, and specifically seeks to test the existence (and, if so, identify the length scale(s)) of economic/business cycles. Beyond summary statistics, the monthly (May, 1976 to December, 2020) number of observed FDA MD Applications are investigated via an assortment of time series techniques (including: Discrete Wavelet Transform, Running Moving Average Filter, Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode with Adaptive Noise decomposition, and Seasonal Trend Loess decomposition) to exhaustively seek and find such periodicities. This work finds that from 1976 to 2020, the dynamics of MD applications are (1) non‐ normal, non‐stationary (fractional order of integration < 1), non‐linear, and strongly persistent (Hurst > 0.5); (2) regular (non‐variance), with latent periodicities following seasonal, 1‐year (short‐term), 5‐6 year (Juglar; mid‐term), and a single 24‐year (Kuznets; medium‐term) period (when considering the total number of MD applications); (3) evolving independently of any specific exogeneous factor (such as the COVID‐19 crisis); (4) comprised of two inversely opposing processes (PMNs and PMAs) suggesting an intrinsic structural industrial transformation occurring within the MD industry; and, (6) predicted to continue its decline (as a totality) into the mid‐2020s until recovery.

DuBois, Chair Although devoted to insuring universal freedom and human rights for more than 60 years, Henry B. Stanton’s historical legacy and his many contributions to antebellum reform have been obscured and even vilified in the shadows of his famous wife, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and his oftentimes tactical opponent within abolition circles, William Lloyd Garrison. Frequently portrayed as the antagonist in his wife’s struggle for women’s rights, as a husband and a father Henry Stanton has become synonymous in the historical discourse with the very oppression his wife devoted her life to ending. Because of this, Elizabeth’s reformism is frequently depicted as having emerged from an imagined unhappy domestic life, rather than from an awareness of social and political inequalities.

  • Models, Fact and Fiction in Economics
    Journal of the British Academy, 2, 231–268. DOI 10.5871/jba/002.231 Posted 18 December 2014. © The British Academy 2014 What if? Models, fact and fiction in economics Keynes Lecture in Economics read 16 October 2013 MARY S. MORGAN Fellow of the Academy Abstract: Economists build models to understand the economy, but to outsiders these often seem to be imagined or fictional worlds, accounts that seem closer to those of science fiction than to matters of science. Such a judgement underrates the importance of fictional elements and the imagination in the way economists make and use their models. Paying attention to the ‘what-if’ questions that economists ask when they use their models reveals how they create the keys that enable them to translate between their imaginary model worlds and the real economic world we all live in. Keywords: economists, economic models, fictional worlds, ‘what-if’ questions. I FICTION IN SCIENCE Economists use models as a way to understand the world. But their ways of working with models often appear quite strange, and even worthy of suspicion to commentators, because those worlds that economists picture in their models seem to be imaginary worlds, not the one we live in. This fictional quality of economists’ models makes them interesting for an historian and philosopher of economics. Are economists’ models fictions (in which case how do they become so)? Or is it that economic models function as fictions? If they are fictions, are they a form of science fiction, or are economists creating fictions in the service

  • SEWALL WRIGHT December 21, 1889-March 3, 1988

CRO W Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1994 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. SEWALL WRIGHT December 21, 1889-March 3, 1988 BY JAMES F. CROW HE MATHEMATICAL THEORY of evolution and the science of Tpopulation genetics began with, and for a generation was almost totally dominated by, three men: R. A. Fisher, J. B. S. Haldane, and Sewall Wright. Wright's unique contri- bution was his "shifting balance theory," which holds that the best opportunity for evolutionary progress is afforded by a large population comprising many partially isolated local groups. Within each group a certain amount of trial and error experimentation can take place, and successful combinations can spread throughout the population. Al- though the theory remains controversial, it has been very popular and influential in the biological community. Wright also developed much of the theory of inbreeding (his coefficient of inbreeding is standard material in el- ementary textbooks) and the genetics of quantitative traits. In addition, he was a pioneer in physiological genetics and was uniquely responsible for the developmental and coat- color genetics of guinea pigs. Wright's method of path analysis, originally used mainly by animal breeders, has be- come a standard statistical technique in the social sciences. Wright was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1934.

Research shows that reducing the cost of pig breeding, countercyclical adjustment, and government macrocontrol can effectively reduce the fluctuation of pig prices. Among them, reducing the pig breeding cost is the most effective long-term strategy to stabilize the pig price. 1. Introduction in the United States from 1940 to 1990 and found that the average period of the “pig cycle” was 4.08 years, and its China is the world’s largest producer and consumer of pork, fluctuation range was 2 to 6 years.

    A Guide to Related Archival Collections Outside of the DCR Archives Pertaining to the Metropolitan Parks System, the Metropolitan Water Works System, and the State Forests and Parks System Compiled by Sean M. Fisher, Archivist DCR Archives, Office of Cultural Resources, Bureau of Planning, Design and Resource Protection, Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation April 8, 2009 (First Release) (June 9, 2015 Update) Introduction Approximately 21 years since the availability of the Internet and the associated World Wide Web to the general public (1994)1, DCR staff, including planners and park rangers and interpreters, DCR’s consultants, and the research public have the opportunity to be informed of and utilize archival records, reports, photographs and plans pertaining to the Metropolitan Parks System (MPS), the State Forests and Parks System (SFP), and the Metropolitan Water Works System (MWW) beyond what is available in the DCR Archives, DCR’s CCC Archives, the DCR Plans Archives, and in the collections of our predecessor agencies at the Massachusetts State Archives. Archivists representing all types and sizes of archival repositories, and librarians of local history collections are increasingly using the Internet to post information about their archival collections, ranging from a simple list of collection names to comprehensive archival finding aid guides that detail every folder in a collection. Increasingly, more and more archival repositories are posting digitally scanned images from their collections of historic photographs. Some repositories are also posting searchable digital facsimiles of documents, volumes and reports to the Internet Archive (http://archive.org/about/about.php). This level of access is transforming the ways in which we identify potential archival and historical records for research and use in our work.
