Abstract Violations of no-arbitrage conditions measure the shadow cost intermediary constraints. Intermediary asset pricing and intertemporal hedging together imply that risk these constraints tightening is priced. We describe a “forward CIP trading strategy” bets on violations shrinking show its returns help identify price this risk. This strategy yields highest for currency pairs associated w...

Ultraviolet waves, because of their short wavelength, have a high energy and considerable damaging effects on surfaces. Protection against ultraviolet radiations is one of the finishing treatments done on surfaces exposed to sunlight. The importance of this issue in relation to human health, due to complications such as skin burns and cancer, is doubled. Up t...

ultraviolet waves, because of their short wavelength, have a high energy and considerable damaging effects on surfaces. protection against ultraviolet radiations is one of the finishing treatments done on surfaces exposed to sunlight. the importance of this issue in relation to human health, due to complications such as skin burns and cancer, is doubled. up to now, different materials such as z...

The ability to store hydrogen in a highly dense state within absorbents via the mechanism of adsorption has become a critical step in order to make a hydrogen powered automobile a practical reality. Absorbents are composed of nano-scale cavities (or pores) designed in such a way that hydrogen will adsorb onto the internal surface and thus be stored densely and safely enough for transport at amb...

Plastic materials are commonly used for storing food stuffs and medicines. Chemical substances used in the manufacture of plastic goods are found to migrate in the food stuffs used. The migration of UV absorbents and oxidisable matter was found to be more when used for longer periods.

Entomopathogenic fungi are promising pest-control agents but their industrial applicability is limited by their thermosusceptibility. With an aim to increase the thermotolerance of Isaria fumosorosea SFP-198, moisture absorbents were added to dried conidial powder, and the relationship between its water potential and thermotolerance was investigated. Mycotized rice grains were dried at 10℃, 20℃...
