The extensive literature on smoking behaviour has focused on numerous aspects such as the factors that influence the decision to start smoking and, for smokers, what factors influence consumption and decisions to quit. ...
A series of palladium complexes were synthesized that comprise three sterically different C,N-bidentate coordinating NHC-pyridine ligands (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene). In one set, the pyridine and the carbene are linked ...

Using records of individual depositors’ accounts, this article provides a detailed microeconomic analysis of two banking panics. The panics of 1854 and 1857 were not characterized by an immediate mass panic of depositors ...
Partial derivatives of the negative exponential, monomolecular, Mitcherlich, Gompertz,
logistic, Chapman-Richards, von Bertalanffy, Weibull and the Richard’s nonlinear
growth models are presented. The application of these ...
Despite significant developments, the simple, lumped, conceptual, rainfall-runoff model is still widely used for flood forecasting. What may not be appreciated is that, while such models can often be calibrated to give ...

A model is developed that can price path dependent options when the underlying
process is an exponential Lévy process with closed form conditional characteristic
function. The model is an extension of a recent quadrature ...
