Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic, non-essential heavy metal; its accumulation in plants alters metabolism and limits productivity. Though various studies have addressed Cd stress response in various species, the detailed molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Therefore, the present work investigated the...

This study examined the direct and indirect relationships based on stress process conceptual model between informal caregiver characteristics, source of caregiver stress and informal and formal support on the well-being of the caregivers of persons with dementia. Structural Equation Modeling was...

Analogous to first stochastic dominance option bounds, second stochastic dominance option bounds give the range of possible option values baring second order arbitrage opportunities. Using linear programming, Constantinides et al. (Review of Financial Studies, 2008) show that violations of these...

The presence of tail dependencies invalidates the multivariate normality assumptions in portfolio risk management. The identification of tail (in)dependencies has drawn major attention in empirical financial studies. Yet it is still a challenging issue both theoretically and practically....

Extreme values are often correlated over time, for example, in a financial time series, and these values carry various risks. Max-stable processes such as maxima of moving maxima (M3) processes have been recently considered in the literature to describe timedependent dynamics, which have been...
