Growing stock volume (GSV) is a fundamental parameter of forests, closely related to the above-ground biomass and hence carbon storage. Estimation GSV at regional global scales depends on use satellite remote sensing data, although accuracies are generally lower over sparse boreal forest. This especially true forest in Russia, for which knowledge currently poor despite its importance. Here we d...

the option-pricing problem is always an important part in modern finance. assuming that the stock diffusion is a constant, some literature has introduced many stock models and given corresponding option pricing formulas within the framework of the uncertainty theory. in this paper, we propose a new stock model with uncertain stock diffusion for uncertain markets. some option pricing formulas on...

However, the National Standard Guidelines that govern the implementation of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act may change to increase flexibility in rebuilding requirements.

A new mycological medium, Fishmeal Extract Dextrose Agar (FEDA) was developed using aqueous extract of fishmeal as a substitute for peptone and evaluated for its efficacy in supporting the growth of fungi commonly encountered in clinical specimens and in maintaining fungal stock cultures. Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophyte, Microsporum gypsium, Microsporum nanum, Epidermophyton flo...

Investments in socially responsible investments (SRI) are still a small, but growing segment of international capital markets. This study analyses whether a SRI screening process applied to equities results in a different performance outcome compared to relevant conventional benchmark indexes.

An experiment was carried out with SHAVER Starbro broiler parent stock from one day old to the point of peak production to investigate the growth, early laying performance and their adaptability during brooding, growing and early laying periods. The experimental period was divided into five phases, phase I (0 – 2 week), phase II (3 – 8 week), phase III (9 – 22 week), phase IV (23 – sexual matur...

This paper examines the incentives from stock options for loss-averse employees subject to probability weighting. Employing the certainty equivalence principle, I built on insights from Cumulative Prospect Theory (CPT) to derive a continuous time model to value options from the perspective of a representative employee. Consistent with a growing body of empirical and experimental studies, the mo...
