Serum transient paraproteins are small monoclonal immunoglobulins that are induced by a self-limiting regulatory defect in the control of certain terminally differentiated B-cell clones. Relatively uncommon and ill-defined in the medical literature, such proteins may be regarded as immunologic anomalies. Their clinical significance and potential impact on patient management are poorly understoo...

Progress in lithography and nanofabrication @E. Di Fabrizio et al., Nature ~London! 401, 895 ~1999!# has made it possible to apply differential interference contrast ~DIC! in x-ray microscopy using an original x-ray doublet lens based on two specially developed zone plates. Switching from bright-field imaging ~absorption contrast! to x-ray DIC, we observe, similar to visible-light microscopy, a...

This article presents a contingent claim valuation of a callable convertible bond with the issuer’s credit risk. The optimal call, voluntary conversion, and bankruptcy strategies are jointly determined by shareholders and bondholders to maximize the equity value and the bond value, respectively. This model not only incorporates tax benefits, bankruptcy costs, refunding costs, and a call notice ...

We report the first absorption-based single-chip transceiver for electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy in silicon. The chip is implemented in a 0.13m SiGe BiCMOS process technology. The transmitter generates and delivers a continuous-wave microwave signal with a frequency range from 895 to 979 MHz and the receiver adopts a direct-conversion architecture. Based on the single-chip tr...

The possibility of a physical rotational symmetry for a quasicrystal is discussed and the minimal tensorial rank which is necessary to detect such a symmetry is shown to be simply related to the order of a symmetry rotation. For icosahedral symmetry, in particular, the minimal rank is 5 which means that "ordinary" linear (i.e. first order) behaviour (in the termal, electromagnetic, déformation ...
