Gaussian estimation of single-factor continuous-time models of the South African short-term interest rate by Aling, Peter

“…In addition we find evidence of a structural break in the mid- 1980s, confirming our suspicions that the financial liberalisation of that period affected the short rate process.…”

Identification of evolutionarily conserved nucleic acid secondary structures within viral genomes by Golden, Michael Thomas

“…Although many of these less-conserved structures may, as has previously been suggested, defend these genomes against intra-cellular anti-viral siRNAs, a strong association was found between sites that are base-paired and codon sites that are apparently evolving under purifying selection: a finding which suggests that an additional or alternative role of these structures may simply be to reduce basal mutation frequencies, and hence amino acid substitution rates at codon sites that encode functionally important amino acids. …”

A study on the determinants of capital structure in developing countries by Abdelfattah, Adham Hesham

“…The factors used in the study are as follows: profitability, firm size, tangibility, liquidity, asset growth, earnings volatility, effective tax rate and non-debt tax shields. While macro specific factors include stock market capitalization as a percentage of GDP, inflation rate, GDP growth rate and Lending interest rate announced by the central bank of each emerging economy whereby the macro factors are used as we are studying the determinants of capital structure for companies in ten different countries. …”
