Nonstandard finite difference schemes for the Black-Scholes partial differential equation preserving the positivity property are proposed. Computationally simple schemes are derived by using a nonlocal approximation in the reaction term of the Black-Scholes equation. Unlike the standard methods, the solutions of new proposed schemes are positive and free of the spurious oscillations.

the present study was carried out to investigate the effect of different seasons on length and duration of estrus as well as to observe the behavioral changes and physiological peculiarities during estrus period. three climatic seasons and age groups were considered: summer (march-june), rainy (july-october) and winter (november-february); a (6-9 month), b (9-12 month) and c (>12 month). estrus...

the main theme to conduct present research work was to evaluate the effect of anaerobic granular sludge in degradation of two azo dyes. the study was evaluated in batch experiments where anaerobic and aerobic conditions were integrated by exposing anaerobic granular sludge to oxygen. under these conditions, the azo dyes were reduced, resulting in a temporal accumulation of aromatic amines. subs...

in vitro multiple shoot regeneration of solanum nigrum l., an indian medicinal plant was accomplished on ms medium utilizing shoot tip and nodal explants. direct multiple shoots differentiated within 6 weeks when explants were cultured on ms medium containing bap (1.0-5.0 mg/l) and kin (1.0-5.0 mg/l) individually. among various concentrations of cytokinins tested, maximum number of multiple sho...
