This paper reviews the architecture of amylose supramolecules in form of inclusion complexes with synthetic polymers by phosphorylase-catalyzed enzymatic polymerization. Amylose is known to be synthesized by enzymatic polymerization using α-d-glucose 1-phosphate as a monomer, by phosphorylase catalysis. When the phosphorylase-catalyzed enzymatic polymerization was conducted in the presence of v...

The demand for an accurate financial risk management involving larger numbers of assets is strong not only in view of the financial crisis of 2007-2009. Especially dependencies among assets have not been captured adequately. While standard multivariate copulas have added some flexibility, this flexibility is insufficient in higher dimensional applications. Vine copulas can fill this gap by bene...

Vine-shoots are an important waste in all viticulture areas that should be re-used with innovative applications. The aim of this work was to produce Airén waste vine-shoot aqueous extracts by four solid-liquid extraction techniques such as conventional solid-liquid extraction (CSLE), solid-liquid dynamic extraction (SLDE-Naviglio), microwave extraction (ME), and pressurized solvent extraction (...

The antioxidant properties and antimicrobial activity of rosemary extracts were compared to those of vine leaf extracts. The phenolics were quantified by HPLC. Rosemary extracts were stronger in reducing power than vine leaf extracts but possessed weaker superoxide anion radical (O2 ) scavenging capability. The antimicrobial activity was confirmed by the broth microdilution test using minimal i...

Thomas Nagler*, Christian Schellhase, and Claudia Czado Nonparametric estimation of simpli ed vine copula models: comparison of methods DOI 10.1515/demo-2017-0007 Received December 27, 2016; accepted May 16, 2017 Abstract: In the last decade, simpli ed vine copula models have been an active area of research. They build a high dimensional probability density from the product of marginals densiti...

Regular vine copulas are a novel and very flexible class of dependence models. This paper presents a reversible jump MCMC strategy for Bayesian model selection and inference of regular vine copulas, which can select all levels of a regular vine copula simultaneously. This is a substantial improvement over existing frequentist and Bayesian strategies, which can only select in a sequential, level...

The Hayward Tuning Vine is a software interface for exploring the system of microtonal tuning known as Just Intonation. Based ultimately on prime number relationships, harmonic space in Just Intonation is inherently multidimensional, with each prime number tracing a unique path in space. Taking this multidimensionality as its point of departure, the Tuning Vine interface assigns a unique angle ...

alpha,alpha-Trehalose induced a rapid blackening of the terminal 2.5-centimeter region of excised Cuscuta reflexa Roxb. vine. The incorporation of radioactivity from [(14)C]glucose into alkali-insoluble fraction of shoot tip was markedly inhibited by 12 hours of trehalose feeding to an excised vine. This inhibition was confined to the apical segment of the vine in which cell elongation occurred...
