determinants of Sovereign wealth fund investment in private equity vs public equity
Journal of International Business Studies, 2013Co-Authors: Sofia Johan, April M Knill, Nathan MauckAbstract:This paper examines the investments of 19 Sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) in 424 firms (both public and private) around the world from 1991 through 2010. The data indicate that SWFs, similar to other institutional investors, are less likely to invest in private equity than in public equity interNationally. However, the economic significance of this impact is surprisingly low. Unlike other institutional investors, SWFs are more likely to invest in private equity compared with public equity in target Nations where investor protection is low, and where the bilateral political relations between the SWF and the target Nation are weak. Surprisingly, cultural differences play a marginally positive role in the choice to invest in private equity investment outside an SWF's own Sovereign Nation. Comprehensively, we find that SWFs act distinctively from other traditional institutional investors when investing in private equity.

rcsb protein data bank sustaining a living digital data resource that enables breakthroughs in scientific research and biomedical education
Protein Science, 2018Co-Authors: Helen M Berman, Zukang Feng, John D Westbrook, Stephen K. Burley, Jasmine Young, Jose M Duarte, Cole H. Christie, Christine ZardeckiAbstract:The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is one of two archival resources for experimental data central to biomedical research and education worldwide (the other key Primary Data Archive in biology being the InterNational Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration). The PDB currently houses >134,000 atomic level biomolecular structures determined by crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and 3D electron microscopy. It was established in 1971 as the first open-access, digital-data resource in biology, and is managed by the Worldwide Protein Data Bank partnership (wwPDB; wwpdb.org). US PDB operations are conducted by the RCSB Protein Data Bank (RCSB PDB; RCSB.org; Rutgers University and UC San Diego) and funded by NSF, NIH, and DoE. The RCSB PDB serves as the global Archive Keeper for the wwPDB. During calendar 2016, >591 million structure data files were downloaded from the PDB by Data Consumers working in every Sovereign Nation recognized by the United Nations. During this same period, the RCSB PDB processed >5300 new atomic level biomolecular structures plus experimental data and metadata coming into the archive from Data Depositors working in the Americas and Oceania. In addition, RCSB PDB served >1 million RCSB.org users worldwide with PDB data integrated with ∼40 external data resources providing rich structural views of fundamental biology, biomedicine, and energy sciences, and >600,000 PDB101.rcsb.org educational website users around the globe. RCSB PDB resources are described in detail together with metrics documenting the impact of access to PDB data on basic and applied research, clinical medicine, education, and the economy.

white earth food Sovereignty initiative what food Sovereignty looks like on the Sovereign Nation of white earth
The Journal of Agriculture Food Systems and Community Development, 2019Co-Authors: Zachary PaigeAbstract:First paragraphs: Here in White Earth, we started our Food Sovereignty Initiative in the fall of 2017 to bring together and organize community-driven efforts that aid in establishing a sustainable and Sovereign food system based in traditional methods of planting, gathering, harvest, hunting, and fishing—all protected by tribal policy. We start our food Sovereignty work primarily through gatherings with the White Earth community. Once a month, or sometimes once every two months when we are busy planting and gathering, we hold a potluck food Sovereignty meeting (see Photo 1). Present are our core partners, such as the White Earth Tribal and Community College (WETCC) Extension Service, with whom we are intertwined in many grants and commitments. Other partners include our White Earth health department, dieticians, nutritionists, SNAP-Ed, 4-H youth agriculture program, directors and managers in education, the agriculture department, natural resource department, commodity foods program, and the Elder Nutrition Program. Other partners include nonprofits, interested community members from White Earth, and others doing similar work coming from our neighboring reservations Leech Lake and Red Lake. . . .
