Extreme asset price movements appear to be more pronounced over time and have major consequences for an economy’s financial stability and monetary policies. This paper investigates the extreme behaviour of equity market returns and quantifies the probabilities of these losses. Taking fourteen major equity markets the study illustrates similarities and divergences in the tail returns from around...

Abstract This paper aims to mobilize the way we think and write about fat bodies while drawing on Jean-Luc Nancy’s philosophy of body. I introduce approach body as an addition contemporary new materialism. His philosophy, so argue, offers a form materialism that allows for phenomenological exploration As such, it can help us understand lived experiences embodiment. Additionally, idea in terms “...

BACKGROUND Relatively little is known about the degree of inter-specific variability in visual scanning strategies in species with laterally placed eyes (e.g., birds). This is relevant because many species detect prey while perching; therefore, head movement behavior may be an indicator of prey detection rate, a central parameter in foraging models. We studied head movement strategies in three ...

1. The subcutaneous and omental adipose tissue of man, the epididymal fat pads of the rat and the fat tail of the Syrian sheep incorporate mevalonic acid into non-saponifiable lipids. 2. Time studies showed that the rates of decarboxylation of mevalonic acid and synthesis of non-saponifiable lipids slightly decline after 20min. but subsequently remain linear for 6hr. 3. About one-half of the in...

We examine the mechanism of formation of micelles of dihydroxy bile salts using a coarse-grained, implicit solvent model and Langevin dynamics simulations. We find that bile salt micelles primarily form via addition and removal of monomers, similarly to surfactants with typical head-tail molecular structures, and not via a two-stage mechanism - involving formation of oligomers and their subsequ...

Extreme asset price movements appear to be more pronounced recently and have major consequences for an economy’s financial stability and monetary policies. This paper investigates the extreme behaviour of equity market returns and quantifies the probabilities of these losses. Taking fourteen major equity markets the study is able to ascertain similarities and divergences in the tail returns fro...

In the study, contents of tail fat fatty acid composition 6-month-old male lambs in breeds Artlı, Çepni, Karayaka and Of grown Black Sea Region were examined. The content saturated acids for respectively; 52.08%, 51.66%, 42.67%, 52.92% while monounsaturated 33.25%, 33.12%, 33.07%, 32.34% respectively. polyunsaturated was determined as 0.76%, 1.20%, 0.64% 0.87%, presence desired health 46.94% 51...

Formation of hydraulic jump is necessary for dissipation of the excess kinetic energy downstream of spillways and gates. Hydraulic jump stilling basins of sudden expansion are one of the energy dissipater structures which are used where the available tail water depth is less than the required sequent depths. In the present study to further reduce the hydraulic jump sequent depths ratio, a rough...
