The antioxidant potential (capacity and activity) of aqueous fullerene dispersions (AFD) non-functionalized C60, C70, Gd@C82 endofullerene (in micromolar concentration range) was estimated based on chemiluminescence measurements the model luminol generation organic radicals by 2,2?-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (ABAP). capacity TRAP method, from half-suppression, suppression area in ...

The effect of metallic (Fe, Cu, Co, Ni, Ti) and non-metallic additives (Si, B) on the formation fullerenes from graphite powders was studied in radiofrequency (RF) thermal plasma. main component synthesized fullerene mixtures C60, but higher (C70, C82, C84) could be detected as well. Fe Cu increased content soot. In contrast, decreased presence Ti, Si, B compared to synthesis without additives....

The consumption Euler equation implies that the output growth rate and the real interest rate are of the same order of integration; i.e., if the real interest rate is I(1), then so is the output growth rate and hence log output is I(2). To estimate the natural rates and gaps of macroeconomic variables jointly, this paper develops the multivariate Beveridge–Nelson decomposition with I(1) and I(2...

We derive a de nition of linear cointegration for nonlinear stochastic processes using a martingale representation theorem. The result shows that stationary linear cointegrations can exhibit nonlinear dynamics, in contrast with the normal assumption of linearity. We propose a sequential nonparametric method to test rst for cointegration and second for nonlinear dynamics in the cointegrated syst...

China has experienced remarkably stable growth and inflation in recent years according to official statistics. We use systematic discrepancies between cross-sectional and time-series Engel curves to construct alternative estimates of Chinese growth and inflation. Our estimates suggest that official statistics present a smoothed version of reality. Official inflation rose in the 2000s, but our e...
