How far traditionary information alone is worthy of credit in such a case, we shall not determine. No accurate medical information is to be obtained on the origin of these diseases. Although the first appearance of these endemics is by no means accounted for, their subsequent prevalence and rapid spread, are attributed to the luxurious and debauched life of the inhabitants; deficient ventilatio...

The present study is focused on the importance of SNP, a NO donor, as Cd stress modulator on seedlings of cabbage. The exogenously applied Cd induced stress in cabbage seedlings to explore the protective role of SNP. 21-day-old seedlings were grown in Hoagland solution and Cd at 0.5 and 0.7 mM concentration with and without SNP. The biophysical and biochemical parameters were analyzed. Cd exhib...

Alternative medicine in Bangladesh context means Unani/Ayurvedic and Homeopathic medicine. Government recognizes and patronizes allopathic (modern and western) medicine. This system through Government Institutions viz. hospitals and health care centres can offer services to only about 30% people. The other two systems (Unani/Ayurvedic and Homeopathic) can serve 50-60% people. Limited health man...

The small-improvement argument is usually considered themost powerful argument against comparability, viz the view that for any two alternatives an agent is rationally required either to prefer one of the alternatives to the other or to be indišerent between them. We argue that while there might be reasons to believe each of the premises in the small-improvement argument, there is a conžict bet...

We show how no-arbitrage pricing can be extended to some non-semimartingale models by restricting the class of admissible strategies. However, this restricted class is big enough to cover hedges for relevant options. Moreover, we show that the hedging prices depend essentially only on a path property of the stock price process, viz. on the quadratic variation. As a consequence, we can incorpora...

We show that pricing a big class of relevant options by hedging and noarbitrage can be extended beyond semimartingale models. To this end we construct a subclass of self-financing portfolios that contains hedges for these options, but does not contain arbitrage opportunities, even if the stock price process is a nonsemimartingale of some special type. Moreover, we show that the option prices de...

Four combination methods of independent tests for testing a simple hypothesis versus one-sided alternative are considered viz. Fisher, the logistic, the sum of P-values and the inverse normal method in case of logistic distribution. These methods are compared via local power in the presence of nuisance parameters for some values of α using simple random sample.

This paper compares the error bounds of two classes of dominant point detection methods, viz. methods based on reducing a distance metric and methods based on digital straight segments. We highlight using two methods in each class that the error bounds within the same class may vary depending upon the fine details and control parameters of the methods but the essential error bound can be determ...

R\I stands for the set of positive integers, and li$, for the set of non-negative integers. If S is a set then IS( is the number of elements of S. If S is a set, then a multiset of elements of S is a mapping f of S into &, with the property that the set of s with f(s)>0 is finite. The set of all these multisets is denoted M(S). Some of our multisets are multisets of natural numbers. Number theo...

A further mechanism of escape-capture bigeminy is described, viz, blocked atrial extrasystoles.
