Thin trading, non-normality and the estimation of systematic risk on small stock markets by Bowie, David Colin

“…Using unbiasedness and efficiency as the necessary criteria of estimators of beta, the thesis concludes that a robust, bounded-influence version of the trade-to-trade beta estimator should be implemented on small mar~ets. …”

A provably stable and high-order accurate finite difference approximation for the incompressible boundary layer equations by Nchupang, Mojalefa

“…These approaches introduce the need for more boundary conditions which place additional constraints on pressure gradients at bound- aries. Finally, the ubiquitous practice of upwinding convective terms when solving incompress- ible flows adds both complexity and non-physical dissipation to the flow solution. …”

Diamphotoxin : the arrow poison of the !Kung Bushmen by De la Harpe, Jonathan H

“…Experiments designed to detect phospholipase or protease activity in toxin solutions gave negative results. Erythrocytes incubated with ¹²⁵I-labelled pure toxin in calcium-free medium retained a quantity of bound toxin which could not be removed by repeated washing. …”

A Review of Multilevel Monte Carlo Methods by Jain, Rohin

“…The Least Squares Monte Carlo method (LSM) estimates an optimal exercise strategy at finitely many instances, and consequently a lower bound price for the option. …”

Developing quantitative approaches to determine microbial colonisation and activity in mineral bioleaching and characterisation of acid rock drainage by Makaula, Didi Xhanti

“…These data, together with microscopic enumeration of detached cells with increased number of washes, allow refinement of the assay and showed that six washes provided reliable estimation of mineral associated microbial cells. Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) produced in this process were extracted using crown ether and the capsular bound components analysed. …”
