In this paper, we study the holomorphic function defined by the infinite product Γa,r(s) = ∏ n≥0(1 + 1 a+nr ) (1 + s a+nr ) which generalize Euler’s definition in the sense that Γ(s) = Γ1,1(s) s . We obtain analogues of the Gauss multiplication formula, complement formula for functions Γa,r(s).

The return on a bond investment comes from three sources: Interest payments, realized capital gains and accrued capital gains. We provide an exact description on how the capital gains can be measured under a variety of accounting rules for measuring accruals and study the theoretical properties of such rules, their taxation consequences and the relation between the yield before tax and the yiel...

Recently I completed a review of the empirical research on scientific journals (Armstrong 1982). This review provided evidence for an " author's formula, " a set of rules that authors can use to increase the likelihood and speed of acceptance of their manuscripts. Authors should: (1) not pick an important problem, (2) not challenge existing beliefs, (3) not obtain surprising results, (4) not us...

The focus of this paper is an argument presented by Fara (2010), which is against supervaluationism in the context of vagueness. I show how it applies equally to the branching-time (BT) supervaluationism (first presented in Thomason 1970), but not to the closely related ‘STRL’ semantics of Malpass & Wawer (2012).

This study proposes a basic molecular formula for all proteins. A total of 10,739 proteins belonging to 9 different protein groups classified on the basis of their functions were selected randomly. They included enzymes, storage proteins, hormones, signalling proteins, structural proteins, transport proteins, immunoglobulins or antibodies, motor proteins and receptor proteins. After obtaining t...

BACKGROUND It is recommended that formula-fed infants are given standard whey-based infant formula throughout the first year of life, unless otherwise advised by healthcare professionals. To our knowledge it has not yet been explored if parents are using a whey-based infant formula throughout the first 12 months of life. Reasons for parental choice of formula are also unknown. Therefore, the ob...
