In this paper one studies the distribution of log-returns (tick-by-tick) in the Lisbon stock market and shows that it is well adjusted by the solution of the equation, dpx d|x| = −βq′p q x − (

Phthalates are additives or plasticizers added to make plastics soft. However, they could leach into the environment and cause harm human health when contacted. Sites along Ekpan river have been used for open dumping of refuse. The also serves as a point source disposal effluents from Warri Refinery Petrochemical Company Limited (WRPC). Hence, need preliminary study phthalates across system. Su...

water shortage in the agricultural sector is currently a major challenge in crop production. the more efficient water usage is that which increases yield without increasing water use. thus, a determination of the water-yield relationship is essential. a field study was conducted to examine water-yield relations in three genotypes of soybeans, including optimum irrigation depth, a comparison of ...

Predicting the likelihood of a clinical outcome using biomarkers during the course of a cancer immunotherapy can be a powerful tool for time-sensitive decision making on personalized treatment options. In a clinical trial with the survivin-targeting vaccine DPX-Survivac, we showed using established methods (ELISpot/tetramer/flow cytometry) that a high-dose of DPX-Survivac vaccine in combination...

Phthalates are widely used in industry, but adverse effects on human health have been reported due to exposure these chemicals. In the body, they metabolized into phthalic monoesters, which monitor and assess risk. Urine is one of main biological samples used, its easy access collection, also being elimination pathway for phthalates. complex; therefore, sample preparation a critical step. Dispo...

The glycolytic activity of brain tissue is rapidly lost on destruction of its cell structure. Geiger (1) found that when brain cells are disrupted with distilled water an inhibitor of glycolysis is released. By simply diluting a water extract of rat brain, he reduced the effect of the inhibitor and obtained a rate of lactic acid production from glucose by far exceeding the vaiues obtained with ...

The dynamics of even topological open membranes relies on Nambu Brackets. Consequently, such 2p-branes can be quantized through the consistent quantization of the underlying Nambu dynamical structures. This is a summary construction relying on the methods detailed in refs [1, 2]. The classical motion of topological open membranes is controlled by Nambu Brackets, the multilinear generalization o...
