The behavior of managers in initiating a derivatives market position brings to the surface an interesting phenomenon: sometimes managers initiate a position in derivatives markets (i.e., futures and options markets) and sometimes they do not, even though the price volatility of the underlying asset has not changed. The current (hedging) models might explain the phenomenon of derivatives positio...

A noticeable variation is present among the guava (Psidium guajava L.) genotypes available in Bangladesh. Thirty-three (25 indigenous, 5 released, and 3 exotic) of were used ex-situ conditions from different locations Chattagram, Brahmanbaria, Pirojpur, Gazipur districts assessed based on 10 traits to know their genetic diversity. The measured number flowers, fruits, harvested fruits per plant,...

Liver Physiol. 38): G29–G38, 1998.—The immunomodulatory properties of bacterial superantigens (SAgs) have been defined, yet comparatively little is known of how SAgs may affect enteric physiology. Staphylococcus aureus ent...

At percent, Zn stress tolerance using novel genetic resources is an important mitigation strategy for plant breeding. In this study, thirty-five durum wheat genotypes with different growth habits were evaluated under normal (non-stress) and Zn deficient stress during the 2014-15 cropping season. A total of ten Zn stress tolerance indices including stress tolerance index (STI), relative zinc-def...

Due to the short settling times of metals in DA white dwarf atmospheres, any white dwarfs with photospheric metals must be actively accreting. It is therefore natural to expect that the metals may not be deposited uniformly on the surface of the star. We present calculations showing how the temperature variations associated with white dwarf pulsations lead to an observable diagnostic of the sur...
