Sialic acids are prominent on the cell surfaces of mammalian cells and partake in modulating cellular mechanisms. N-acetyl neuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) is one of the most prominent sialic acids on mammalian cells. Bacterial pathogens can acquire Neu5Ac from the environment and display them on their cell surfaces, in a process known as molecular mimicry, thus evading the immune system. Many pathogens a
The “Fundamental Review of the Trading Book” calculates the capital requirements using Expected Shortfall (ES) backtests since Value at risk (VaR) neglects losses in the tail. Additionally, real estate investments have increased significantly, which warrants an exploration of the asset class. This study applies eight different univariate GARCH models to six distinct property indices; Global, Asia

In recent decades problem of using the finite resource, fossil fuels, as an energy source have caught more and more public attention. The usage of it produces side-products which in long term harms our environment. To combat the usage of such destructive resources, a more sustainable way of creation of energy needs to be implemented, to which scientist have set their eyes on solar cells. Currently
Along with escalating climate change impacts, aggravated hunger and malnutrition, and widening socioeconomic disparities, recent decades have also seen increased casualties during intrastate conflicts.
