This paper addresses the multi-objective portfolio selection model with fuzzy random returns for investors by studying three criteria: return, risk and liquidity. In addition, securities historical data, experts’ opinions and judgements and investors’ different attitudes are considered in the portfolio selection process, such that the investor’s individual preference is reflected by an optimist...

The possible application of fuzzy sets theory in strategic management to the problem of portfolio matrices analysis, used for strategy alternative(s) formulation and selection is described. The values of membership functions of input variables into portfolio matrices are combined with di erent t-norms: (a) TM (x; y) = min(x; y); (b) TP(x; y) = xy; (c) Sugeno’s t-norms; (d) Hamacher’s t-norm fam...

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is the member of Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV (DPIV) gene family that is most similar to DPIV. Four members of this family, DPIV, FAP, DP8 and DP9 possess a rare catalytic activity, hydrolysis of a prolyl bond two residues from the substrate N terminus. Crystal structures show that the soluble form of FAP comprises two domains, an alpha/beta-hydrolase domain and a...

A Japanese family with atypical type I familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) in Iiyama, Japan was studied. Most of the family members have dysfunctions in the central nervous system, in addition to typical symptoms of type I FAP. The transthyretin (TTR, also called prealbumin) gene of the atypical FAP(FAP-IY) was analyzed with recombinant DNA techniques and a RIA method. FAP-IY was found to...

This paper deals with the problem of multiperiod portfolio selection, where borrowing and lending are allowed with different rates. Indeed, this work is mainly based on a recently published paper with the same subject. In this paper the underlying problem of multiperiod portfolio selection with different borrowing and lending rates is reformulated. After a thorough discussion about both concept...
