The efficient market hypothesis based primarily on the statistical principle of Bayesian inference has been proved to be only a special-case scenario. The generalized financial market, modeled as a binary, stochastic system capable of attaining one of two possible states (High  1, Low  0) with finite probabilities, is shown to reach efficient equilibrium with p . M = p if and only if the tran...

Besides Gaxin1_xAs with compositions nearly lattice-matched to GaAs and InP substrates both In-rich and highly strained alloys become increasingly important for heterojunction transistors and emitters also for room temperature applications. Based on deformation potential theory we first express the strain induced shifts of the conduction and valence band edges under biaxial stress. Using k·p th...

Almost all primitive permutation groups of degree n have order at most n · Q[log2 n]−1 i=0 (n − 2) < n2 , or have socle isomorphic to a direct power of some alternating group. The Mathieu groups, M11, M12, M23 and M24 are the four exceptions. As a corollary the sharp version of a theorem of Praeger and Saxl is established, where M12 turns out to be the ”largest” primitive group. For an applicat...

Multivariate Tobit models estimated using German cross–sectional data are applied to test if strategic complementarities exist between expenditures in four different types of ICT–components. If two ICT–components are complements, they are correlated (provided that agents act rationally). My results are that significant correlations between all four types of ICT–expenditures indeed exist that ca...

Absorption, metabolism, and excretion of paliperidone, an atypical antipsychotic, was studied in five healthy male subjects after a single dose of 1 mg of [(14)C]paliperidone oral solution ( approximately 16 microCi/subject). One week after dosing, 88.4 to 93.8% (mean 91.1%) of the administered radioactivity was excreted: 77.1 to 87.1% (mean 79.6%) in urine and 6.8 to 14.4% (mean 11.4%) in the ...

Efavirenz (Sustiva, Fig. 1) is a potent and specific inhibitor of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase approved for the treatment of HIV infection. To examine the potential differences in the metabolism among species, liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry profiles of efavirenz metabolites in urine of rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, cynomolgus monkeys, and humans were obtained and compared. The metabolite...
