Introduction to a compendium on hypertension.

H ypertension is by far the most common disease that affects human beings, its high prevalence involving both sexes and extending to either industrialized and developing countries. 1 Compared with normotensives, individuals with a high blood pressure stand a much greater chance of having during their life a stroke, coronary heart disease, heart or re-nal failure, and peripheral artery disease, ...

Caspases

U ncontrolled lymphoproliferation is a characteristic feature of lymphomas and leukemias. Nonmalignant lym-phoproliferative diseases are also observed in humans as well as in lpr (lymphoproliferation) and gld (generalized lymphad-enopathy) mice. The discoveries that spontaneous mutations of Fas (APO-1/CD95) or its ligand (FasL) were associated with the lpr and gld phenotypes led to a satisfying...

Uniform Convergence to a Left Invariance on Weakly Compact Subsets

Let  $left{a_alpharight}_{alphain I}$ be a bounded net in a Banach algebra $A$ and $varphi$ a nonzero multiplicative linear functional on $A$. In this paper, we deal with the problem of when $|aa_alpha-varphi(a)a_alpha|to0$ uniformly for all $a$ in weakly compact subsets of $A$. We show that Banach algebras associated to locally compact groups such  as Segal algebras and $L^1$-algebras are resp...

A compendium of copulas

Applications of copulas are too numerous to list. Some recent applications have been: simulation of multivariate sea storms (Corbella and Stretch, 2013); dependence structure between the stock and foreign exchange markets (Wang et al., 2013); operational risk management (Arbenz, 2013); portfolio optimization in the presence of dependent financial returns with long memory (Boubaker and Sghaier, ...
