Non-storability of a commodity implies the independence of corresponding spot and futures prices. We investigate empirically the case of electricity and show that a relation does emerge between spots and forwards. This is because of the links in storable fuels used for production and behavioural biases in power trading. The latter cause a significant influence of the electricity spot price on t...

Arylmagnesium and -calcium reagents are easily accessible; however, ether degradation processes limit storability, especially of the calcium-based heavy Grignard reagents. Ortho-bound substituents with phosphanyl donor sites usually block available coordination sites and stabilize such complexes. The reaction of bromo-2,6-bis(diphenylphosphanylmethyl)benzene (1a) with magnesium in tetrahydrofur...

An investigation was carried out with the postharvest mangoes (viz., the Langra and the Khirshapat) treating with different levels of Bavistin DF solution (namely, 250, 500, and 750 PPM) for obtaining results on the biochemical and mineral content changes as well as storability of postharvest mango. The results of the experiments exhibited that only the single effect of varieties was found to b...

As a result of storability restrictions, the price risk management of flow commodities (such as natural gas, oil, and electrical power) is by no means a trivial matter.To protect price spikes, consumers purchase diverse swing– type contracts, whereas contract writers try to hedge themselves by appropriate physical assets, for instance, using storage utilities, through transmission and/or produc...

Price risk management for flow commodities (such as natural gas, oil, and electrical power) is not trivial due to restrictions on storability of the underlying. To be protected against price spikes, consumers purchase diverse swing–type contracts, whereas contract writers try to hedge them by appropriate physical assets, for instance, by storage utilities, by transmission and/or production capa...

The testa of higher plant seeds protects the embryo against adverse environmental conditions. Its role is assumed mainly by controlling germination through dormancy imposition and by limiting the detrimental activity of physical and biological agents during seed storage. To analyze the function of the testa in the model plant Arabidopsis, we compared mutants affected in testa pigmentation and/o...
