Analytic solution of a nonlinear Black-Scholes partial differential equation
(2016)
We study a nonlinear Black-Scholes partial differential equation
whose nonlinearity is as a result of a feedback effect. This is an illiquid mar-
ket effect arising from transaction costs. An analytic solution to the ...
Synthesis, Antiplasmodial Activity, and β‑Hematin Inhibition of Hydroxypyridone−Chloroquine Hybrids
(American Chemical Society, 2013)
A series of noncytotoxic 4-aminoquinoline-3-hydroxypyridin-
4-one hybrids were synthesized on the basis of a synergistic in vitro
combination of a precursor N-alkyl-3-hydroxypyridin-4-one with chloroquine
(CQ) and tested ...
ASYMPTOTIC LINEAR ESTIMATION OF THE QUANTILE FUNCTION OF THE DOUBLE-EXPONENTIAL DISTRIBUTION BASED ON SELECTED ORDER STATISTICS
(2012)
Asymptotic linear estimation of the quantile function for the location-scale family of distributions is considered and results relating to the double-exponential distribution discussed. A formula for the selection of sample ...

(2016-01)
This paper explains one pot synthesis of type II water soluble L-cysteine capped cadmium telluride (CdTe) core shell quantum dots using cadmium acetate, potassium tellurite and L-cysteine as the starting materials. The ...
Biopesticidal Extractives and Compounds from Warburgia Ugandensis against Maize Weevil (Sitophilus zeamais)
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2015)
Agricultural production is constrained by insect pests, which cause serious post-harvest losses of up to 43% in developing countries. Maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky.) is one of the most destructive pests of ...
A review on carbon nanotube/polymer composites for organic solar cells
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2014-04-13)
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have unique properties, such as their electrical conductivity, that enable them to be combined with conducting polymers to form composites for use in organic solar cells (OSCs). It is envisaged that ...
