The article substantiates the essence of "financial instruments" category, which is based on analysis approaches to considering this definition developed in scientific literature. As a result, author's understanding meaning credit market was proposed, and basic meaningful features cat-egory were highlighted. Considerable attention focused description role fi-nancial instruments development Ukra...

Importance sampling is a widely used variance reduction technique to compute sample quantiles such as value-at-risk. The variance of the weight sample quantile estimator is usually a difficult quantity to compute. In this paper, we present the exact convergence rate and asymptotic distributions of the bootstrap variance estimators for quantiles of weighted empirical distributions. Under regular...

The residence time of a single dye molecule diffusing within a laser spot is propotional to the total number of photons emitted by it. With this application in mind, we solve the spherically symmetric "residence time equation" (RTE) to obtain the solution for the Laplace transform of the mean residence time (MRT) within a d-dimensional ball, as a function of the initial location of the particle...

Recen tly interest in Internet of Things(I oT) is increasing, and a variety of the security technol ogies tha t are suitable for Internet of Things has being studied. In order to main tain the trustw orth y connectivity and the accessibility of distributed IoT, it is importan t to establish secure links for endto-end comm unica tion with proper authen tica tion. AAA technol ogy is curren tly th...

– The osmotic pressure P in equilibrium polymers (EP) in good solvent is investigated by means of a three dimensional off-lattice Monte Carlo simulation. Our results compare well with real space renormalisation group theory and the osmotic compressibility K ∝ φdφ/dP from recent light scattering study of systems of long worm-like micelles. We confirm the scaling predictions for EP based on tradi...

We develop a maximum penalized likelihood (MPL) method to estimate the fitnesses of amino acids and the distribution of selection coefficients (S = 2Ns) in protein-coding genes from phylogenetic data. This improves on the previous maximum likelihood method of Tamuri et al. (2012; Genetics, 190:1101). Various penalty functions are used to penalize extreme estimates of the fitnesses, thus correct...

artificial neural networks (anns) have become one of the most promising tools for rainfall simulation since a few years ago. however, most of the researchers have focused on rainfall intensity records as well as on watersheds, which generally are utilized as input records of other hydro-meteorological variables. the present study was conducted in kechik station, golestan province (northern iran...

Experiments on granule transport and the mean residence time in a rotary horizontal drum with inclined flights showed that the granules can be transported steadily. A model for granule transport based on the analysis of granule motion and other studies on inclined drums was developed to calculate the mean residence time of the granules, and verification experiments under different conditions we...

The pharmacokinetics aspects of levofloxacin were studied in healthy and experimentally renal damaged Muscovy ducks after single intravenous (IV) and oral (PO) dose of 10 mg kg(-1) bwt. Following IV administration, elimination half-life (t 1/2( β )) and mean residence time (MRT) were longer in renal damaged ducks than in healthy ones. Total clearance (Cltot) in renal damaged ducks (0.20 L kg(-1...
