Cu+l(Si02/A1203), Cu+/A1203 and Cu+/Si02 catalysts were prepared by a combination of the ion-exchange method and thermovacuum treatment. In-situ XANES and EXAFS investigations of the catalysts have revealed that Cu+ ions are anchored onto Alz03 or SiO2 as planar 3-coordinate Cu+, while being anchored onto SiOz/A1203 as linear 2-coordinate Cu+. Photoluminescence measurements of the catalysts and...

Modelling multivariate volatility processes is a challenge with important practical relevance to asset pricing, portfolio allocation and risk management. The available statistical models are often either too simple (in order to be practically feasible) or too complex (involving too many parameters). We present a methodology in the middle ground: it may catch the complex dynamic structure of hig...

Oligonucleotide analysis, by a novel computerized procedure, was first applied to determine the sequence of an ideal E. coli promoter (Scherer et al., Nucl. Acids Res. 1978, 5:3759-3773) and has now been used to obtain the sequence of nucleotides that should be present in a messenger RNA for optimum binding to the E. coli ribosome. This sequence is: UU.UUAAAAAUUAAGGAGGUAUAUUAUGAAAAAAAUUAAAAAACU...

Seed dispersal and environmental heterogeneity, the effects of their interaction, are perceived to be determinants spatial patterns trees. We applied point process analyse Vatica odorata (Griff.) Symington (Dipterocarpaceae) in Cuc Phuong National Park Vietnam understand its patterns, decipher main factors affecting seedling establishment species. established a total 12 replicated plots, each w...

The NAC (NAM, ATAF, and CUC) proteins share a highly conserved NAC domain and constitute a large family of plant-specific transcriptional factors. We have isolated a drought-induced NAC gene from Arachis hypogaea, named AhNAC2 (Arachis hypogaea NAC2) but its specific role remains unknown. In this study, we found that transgenic Arabidopsis overexpressing AhNAC2 lines were hypersensitive to ABA ...

Throughout the paper we will use the standard definitions and notation ([ABR], [E]). Let X and Y be metric spaces. The goal is to study some intermediate classes of functions between the class Cuc(X,Y ) of all uniformly continuous mappings (briefly, UC) from X into Y and the class C(X,Y ) of all continuous functions f :X → Y . These classes, defined below, have been intensively studied in [BD] ...
