The effect of non-reducing sugars (sucrose, lactose and trehalose), complex carbohydrates (cyclodextrin and dextran), infant formula or egg yolk on the stability of purified chicken IgY was evaluated under different conditions. Regardless of the protectant that was used, about 20% of the activity of IgY was lost during freeze-drying except in the presence of infant formula where the loss of IgY...

We derive a general integral formula on an embedded hypersurface for general relativistic space-times. Suppose the hypersurface is foliated by two-dimensional compact “sections” Ss. Then the formula relates the rate of change of the divergence of outgoing light rays integrated over Ss under change of section to geometric (convexity and curvature) properties of Ss and the energy-momentum content...

This paper analyses the loss of energy in ring valves of the compressor, investigates the calculating method for the main structure parameter--optimal lift 0 and derives the calculating formula. The measument result on the ccmpressor L2-10/8-I shows that the valves designed through this calculating formula has more tangible result for economizing energy than others.

In this paper we provide a valuation formula for different classes of actuarial and financial contracts which depend on a general loss process, by using the Malliavin calculus. In analogy with the celebrated Black-Scholes formula, we aim at expressing the expected cash flow in terms of a building block. The former is related to the loss process which is a cumulated sum indexed by a doubly stoch...

For two station closed queueing networks, Harrison and Wein studied a Reflected Brownian Motion approximation of the network and arrived at a conjecture for an explicit formula for the asymptotic loss of any buffer priority policy. Here we show by explicit solution of two examples that this formula is not correct if the network is unbalanced, even though the networks are efficient. However, if ...
