Market Efficiency of Floating Exchange Rate Systems: Some Evidence from Pacific-Asian Countries
(Elsevier, 2011)
This paper examines the random walk hypothesis (RWH) and the martingale difference hypothesis (MDH) for the Australian dollar and five Asian emerging currencies relative to three benchmark currencies. We use Wright’s (2000) ...
Ultrasonically Controlled Albumin-conjugated Liposomes for Breast Cancer Therapy
(Taylor and Francis Online, 2019)
Targeted liposomes have high potentials in the specific and effective delivery of their loaded therapeutic agents to the tumor site. Once at the tumor site, it is important that these liposomes are triggered to release ...
A robust method to retrieve option implied risk neutral densities for defaultable assets
(Inderscience Publishers, 2016)
Risk neutral densities recovered from option prices can be used to infer market participants' expectations of future stock returns and are a vital tool for pricing illiquid exotic options. Although there is a broad literature ...
On weakly 2-absorbing ideals of commutative rings
(University of Houston, 2013)
Let R be a commutative ring with identity 1 not equal to 0. In this paper, we introduce the concept of a weakly 2-absorbing ideal. A proper ideal I of R is called a weakly 2-absorbing ideal of R if whenever abc is not equal ...
Mechanical and phytochemical protection mechanisms of Calligonum comosum in arid deserts
(Public Library of Science, 2018)
Unlike animals, plants are sessile organisms, lacking circulating antibodies and specialized immune cells and are exposed to various harsh environmental conditions that make them at risk of being attacked by different ...
Gut Bacteria of Water Monitor Lizard (Varanus salvator) Are a Potential Source of Antibacterial Compound(s)
(MDPI, 2019)
For the past few decades, there has been limited progress in the development of novel antibacterials. Previously, we postulated that the gut microbiota of animals residing in polluted environments are a forthcoming supply ...
Japanese Millennials and Intersex Awareness
(Springer, 2017)
This paper investigates the awareness, attitudes, and opinions of Japanese millennials about intersex people. This research attempts to fill a gap in extant literature concerning the intersex in Asia via an exploratory ...
Path Independence of Exotic Options and Convergence of Binomial Approximations
(Infopro Digital Risk (IP), 2019)
The analysis of the convergence of tree methods for pricing barrier and lookback options has been the subject of numerous publications aiming at describing, quantifying, and improving the slow and oscillatory convergence ...
Control of cardiac alternans by mechanical and electrical feedback
(American Physical Society, 2014)
A persistent alternation in the cardiac action potential duration has been linked to the onset of ventricular arrhythmia, which may lead to sudden cardiac death. A coupling between these cardiac alternans and the intracellular ...
Modeling and simulation of hypothermia effects on cardiac electrical dynamics
(Public Library of Science, 2019)
Previous experimental evidence has shown the effect of temperature on the action potential duration (APD). It has also been demonstrated that regional cooling of the heart can prolong the APD and promote the termination ...
