In recent years, the social policy discussion in Germany—but elsewhere as well—has been heavily dominated by the issue of income inequality and rising poverty risk rates. Yet very little research has been done on the personal wealth distribution to date, not least of all due to the severe lack of appropriate data. Using representative micro-data from the Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP), the G...

The intermetallic compound MoSi2, which adopts the C11b crystal structure, and related alloys exhibit an excellent corrosion resistance at high temperatures but tend to be brittle at room and even relatively high temperatures. The limited ductility of MoSi2 in ambient conditions along with the anomalous temperature dependence of the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) of the {110)<111], {011)...

Epidemiological studies have shown a relationship between hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and development of proteinuria in some patients (most commonly children), with a predominance for male gender and histological findings of membranous nephropathy on renal biopsy. The presence of immune complexes in the kidney suggests an immune complex basis for the disease, but a direct relation between...

Maximum germination of conidia of Botryosphaeria obtusa occurred requirements for germination. Requirements for ascospore germination in free water and declined as relative humidity (RH) was reduced from were similar to those f...

I n this paper, trading symbols of the 30 largest companies listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) were ranked based on the asymmetry information risk. Using the Ersan and Alici (2016) modified clustering algorithm (EA), we estimated the probability of informed trading (PIN) to measure the asymmetry information among traders for each trading symbol and trading day through two-year...

Electrochemical studies on [ R ~ ( ~ ~ B U , P ) ( C O ) ~ ] ~ have shown that upon reduction in THF it undergoes an ECE-type mechanism, a chemical reaction coupled between two electron-transfer reactions, to form a dianion. The chemical step is a geometric isomerization, producing an isomer which is more easily reduced than the parent compound. Oxidation of the dianion back to the neutral comp...

Phosphatase of regenerating liver-1 (PRL-1) belongs to a unique subfamily of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) associated with oncogenic and metastatic phenotypes. While considerable evidence exists to supports a role for PRL-1 in promoting proliferation, the biological regulators and effectors of PRL-1 activity remain unknown. PRL-1 activity is inhibited by disulfide bond formation at th...
