coagulation factors were detectable. Levels of von Willebrand factor (vWF) antigen and fibrinogen were high, but the functional property of vWF assessed by ristocetin cofactor activity (vWF:RCo) assay reached 30% of that of normal reference plasma only. The possibility of inhibitor-induced AvWD was confirmed by a subsequent inhibition test. We mixed the patient’s plasma and pooled normal plasma...

We consider exponentially small expansions present in the asymptotics of the generalised hypergeometric function, or Wright function, pΨq(z) for large |z| that have not been considered in the existing theory. Our interest is principally with those functions of this class that possess either a finite algebraic expansion or no such expansion and with parameter values that produce exponentially sm...

The five parameter gamma–Weibull distribution has been introduced by Leipnik and Pearce (2004). Nadarajah and Kotz (2007) have simplified it into four parameter form, using hypergeometric functions in some special cases. We show that the probability distribution function, all moments of positive order and the characteristic function of gamma–Weibull distribution of a random variable can be expl...

In terms of Wright generalized hypergeometric function we define a class of analytic functions. The class generalize well known classes of k-starlike functions and k-uniformly convex functions. Necessary and sufficient coefficient bounds are given for functions in this class. Further distortion bounds, extreme points and results on partial sums are investigated.

We construct a simple model of monetary exchange where, as in Lagos and Wright (2003), trades take place in both centralized and decentralized markets. However, in constrast to Lagos and Wright, we allow for general preferences and introduce nonconvexities (indivisiblities) and sunspots. In the centralized market, agents can trade statecontingent commodities. We show that nonconvexities and sun...
