Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Since 1980, methods for recursive evaluation of aggregate claims distributions have received extensive attention in the actuarial literature...This book gives a unified survey of the theory and is intended to be self-contained to a large extent. As the methodology is applicable also outside the actuarial field, it is presented in a general setting, but actuarial applications are used for motivation. ..The book is divided into two parts. Part I is devoted to univariate distributions, whereas in Part II, the methodology is extended to multivariate sett

Overview: Hemolysis during filtration through micropores studied by Chien et al. [I] showed a dependence on pressure gradient and pore diameter that, at the time of publication, did not permit an easy interpretation of the hemolytic mechanism. Acting on the assumption that thresholds of hemolysis are easier to correlate with physical forces than extents of hemolysis, we performed a series of experi­ ments repeating some of the conditions reported in [I] and then focusing on low L1P in order to define better the thresholds of hemolysis for several pore sizes. Employing a model of a deformed red

Overview: This book summarizes the latest advances in the important and fast-moving field of regulatory peptides and receptors.Includes supplementary material: In the last two decades, our knowledge on regulatory peptides and their cognate receptors, most of which are members of the seven transmembrane receptor families, has increased enormously. Regulatory peptides are small proteins which, besides their hormonal functions in regulating cellular metabolism in various tissues, may also act as neurotransmitters, and thus they often carry the prefix "neuro". Many of the cognate receptors involve

Overview: Börsennotierte Rohstoffe und Devisen unterliegen häufig relativ starken Schwankungen. Die aus derartigen Schwankungen resultierenden Risiken können, insbesondere für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen, existenzbedrohend sein. Während in Großunternehmen diese Risiken weitgehend aktiv gemanagt werden, besteht in kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen oftmals Unkenntnis über die diversen Möglichkeiten zur Risikobegrenzung. Deshalb wurde ein geschlossenes Sicherungskonzept entwickelt, welches insbesondere für den Einsatz in kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen geeignet ist. Für die Zwecke der Progn
