We examine total, market and idiosyncratic risk and correlation dynamics using daily data from 1993 to 2001 on the 6 largest euro-zone stock market indices and 42 firms from the Dow Jones Eurostoxx50 index. We also estimate conditional correlations using the asymmetric DCC-MVGARCH model. Comparing our results with those of Campbell, Lettau, Malkiel and Xu (2001), stock correlations are higher a...

OBJECTIVE In our study we wanted to showed the safety, feasibility, efficacy and way how to solve the problems of endovascular repair for aortic dissection with insufficient proximal Landing Zone. METHODS The clinical data of all the patients with insufficient proximal Landing Zone (PLZ) for endovascular repair for aortic aneurism and dissection Stanford type B for the period from October 201...

Air Traac Management (ATM) of the future allows for the possibility of free ight, in which aircraft choose their own optimal routes, altitudes, and velocities. The safe resolution of trajectory connicts between aircraft is necessary to the success of such a distributed control system. In this paper, we present a method to synthesize provably safe connict resolution maneuvers. The method models ...

Cooperation between the social and natural sciences has become essential in order to encompass all the dimensions of coastal zone management. Socio-economic approaches are increasingly recommended to complement integrated assessment in support of these initiatives. A systematic review of the academic literature was carried out in order to analyze the main types of socio-economic assessments use...

Innovative conservation tools are greatly needed to reduce livelihood losses and wildlife declines resulting from human-carnivore conflict. Spatial risk modeling is an emerging method for assessing the spatial patterns of predator-prey interactions, with applications for mitigating carnivore attacks on livestock. Large carnivores that ambush prey attack and kill over small areas, requiring mode...

A genotyping study of 285 Hybrid Capture 2 low-risk probe cocktail-positive specimens showed cross-reactivity with several untargeted human papillomavirus genotypes. Cross-reactivity was often clinically beneficial due to the detection of untargeted low-risk genotypes. A total of 8.4% of positive results, usually weak, were due to cross-reactivity with high-risk genotypes. Establishment of a gr...
