In this paper we review the factors that may lead to structural changes in stock market volatility and present an analysis that assesses whether emerging stock market volatility has changed significantly over the period 1976:01-2002:03. This period corresponds to the years of more profound development of both the financial and the productive sides in emerging countries. We use alternative metho...

International organizations collect data from national authorities to create multivariate cross-sectional time series for their analyses. As data from countries with not yet wellestablished statistical systems may be incomplete, the bridging of data gaps is a crucial challenge. This paper investigates data structures and missing data patterns in the crosssectional time series framework, reviews...

We cultured Plasmodium falciparum parasites from 98 Ugandan children with malaria and determined the complexity of infection (COI) on the basis of msp-2 polymorphisms daily for 9 days. The mean COI decreased during culture from 1.73 to 1.56. New strains appeared after day 0 in 20 cultures. Strains disappeared after day 0 in 56% of 45 cultures that were initially mixed; persisting strains more c...

Herein, we report the synthesis of a nitrogen-doped graphene (NGr) interpenetrated 3D Ni-nanocage (Ni-NGr) electrocatalyst by a simple water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion technique for oxidation of water to dioxygen. Correlation of adsorption of NGr and subsequent interpenetration through the specific surface plane of nickel particles as well as the concomitant interaction of N and C with Ni in the nan...

A hollow hybrid Ni-Fe-O nanomaterial (NiFe2O4) is synthesized using a precursor of metal-organic frameworks through a simple and cost-effective method. The unique hollow nanocage structures shorten the length of Li-ion diffusion. The hollow structure offers a sufficient void space, which sufficiently alleviates the mechanical stress caused by volume change. Besides, the hybrid elements allow th...

Drug delivery clusters based on nanocages recently have been the most capable to study. Adipic acid (ADPA) interaction mechanism over of X(Al/B)12Y(N/P)12 was investigated. We analyzed various electronic, chemical, and spectroscopic properties with adsorbed ADPA molecule. Adsorption energies were calculated study adsorption nanocages. Raman enhanced surface scattering is used track drug as an e...

In this paper, density functional theory (DFT) study was applied to the absorption of BMSF-BENZ ((4-bromo-7-methoxy-1-(2-methoxyethyl)-5-{[3 (methylsulfonyl)phenyl]methyl)}-2-[4-(propane-2)) yl)phenyl]-1H-1,3-benzothiazole) used for treatment Osteoporosis, on surfaces two types nanocages Zn12O12 and Al12P12. The results showed that interaction with highly exothermic, indicating high chemical ad...
