The index case was a 25-year-old female employed as a patient service assistant in a large metropolitan private hospital. She developed a fever on 2 April and a rash on the following day. There was no history of recent travel, contact with a person with a rash, illness, previous measles or measles vaccination. On 13 April her 20-year-old brother (case 3) who resided in the same household presen...

This article argues that the practical jokes running throughout Wilson’s novel Our Nig; or Sketches from the Life of a Free Black (1859) are evidence of a deliberate and sophisticated comic strategy that exploits the spectacular body’s potential for subversive performance and works against thealienating conditions of social and political marginalisation experienced by African Americans in<l...

Lévy processes for the underlying asset are examined. Implied volatility evolution, under each of the considered models, is discussed after calibrating for the Merton jump diffusion (MJD), variance gamma (VG), normal inverse Gaussian (NIG), Carr, Geman, Madan and Yor (CGMY) and the Black and Scholes (B&S) model. Implied volatility is examined for the entire sample period, revealing some curious...

This paper deals with the neoplastic and hyperplastic changes in the ovaries, uteri, and mammary glands of rats treated with growth hormone. Ab normalities of these organs occurred in 12 of 15 female rats following the administration of pitui tary growth hormone for long periods. The neo plasms occurring in the lungs, lymphatic tissues, and adrenal glands of these rats have been redosage of gro...

A total of 210 twenty twoday-old broiler chicks were used in this programme to investigale the performance, [ca\ intake, digestibility and visceral organ mass of broiler chicks fed with high level of olive pulp.supplemented with two antibiotics: streptomycin and tylosin. The two antibiotics were added to supply 150 nig/kg of the active ingredient. Chicks which consumed the medicated diets had m...

Imidazolonepropionase (HutI) (imidazolone-5-propanote hydrolase, EC 3.5.2.7) is a member of the amidohydrolase superfamily and catalyzes the conversion of imidazolone-5-propanoate to N-formimino-L-glutamate in the histidine degradation pathway. We have determined the three-dimensional crystal structures of HutI from Agrobacterium tumefaciens (At-HutI) and an environmental sample from the Sargas...

Modelling financial and insurance time series with Lévy processes or with exponential Lévy processes is a relevant actual practice and an active area of research. It allows qualitatively and quantitatively good adaptation to the empirical statistical properties of asset returns. Due to model incompleteness it is a problem of considerable interest to determine the dependence of option prices in ...
