Note on Ceroplastes africanus (family Coccidæ)

Note on the Normal Family

In this paper we consider the problem of normal family criteria and improve some results of I. Lihiri, S. Dewan and Y. Xu.

Note on a Family with Brachydactyly.

A Note on the Nelson–siegel Family

We study a problem posed in Björk and Christensen (1999): does there exist any nontrivial interest rate model which is consistent with the Nelson–Siegel family? They show that within the HJM framework with deterministic volatility structure the answer is no. In this paper we give a generalized version of this result including stochastic volatility structure. For that purpose we introduce the cl...

Metacarpal proportions in Australopithecus africanus.

Recent work has shown that, despite being craniodentally more derived, Australopithecus africanus had more apelike limb-size proportions than A. afarensis. Here, we test whether the A. africanus hand, as judged by metacarpal shaft and articular proportions, was similarly apelike. More specifically, did A. africanus have a short and narrow first metacarpal (MC1) relative to the other metacarpals...

A Note on a Family of Newton Type Iterative Processes

In this paper, we study the convergence of a family of iteration methods to solve nonlinear equations in the complex plane. Two analysis of convergence are provided. We give a Kantorovich-type convergence theorem under mild differentiability conditions with error analysis.
