Value preserving portfolio strategies and the minimal martingale measure
1998
We consider some relations between the minimal martingale measure and the value preserving martingale measure in a continuous-time securities market. Under the assumption of continuous share prices we show that under a structure condition both these martingale measures exist and indeed coincide. This however does not mean that the corresponding concepts of value preserving portfolio strategies and (local) risk minimisation in the area of option hedging in incomplete markets are identical.
Ein neuer weg zur herstellung von oligomeren aus acryl- und vinylverbindungen; modell einer matrizenreaktion
1966
In einer Reihe vorangehender Untersuchungen wurde die Herstellung molekulareinheitlicher, phenolischer Mehrkernverbindungen beschrieben. Sie besitzen je Phenolbaustein eine phenolische Hydroxylgruppe, wie systematisch untersuchte Acylierungen sowie Methylierung und Arylierung dieser Mehrkernverbindungen zeigen. In der vorliegenden Mitteilung wurde bei einer Zwei- und Dreikernverbindung an den phenolischen Hydroxylgruppen mit Acrylsaurechlorid umgesetzt, so das die entstandenen Verbindungen so viele polymerisationsfahige Reste wie phenolische Bausteine besasen. Die Polymerisation der Acrylsaurederivate in sehr groser Verdunnung gab oligomere Leiterverbindungen, die durch alkalische Hydrolyse…
Host-based divergence in populations of the pea aphid: insights from nuclear markers and the prevalence of facultative symbionts.
2003
In North America, the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum encompasses ecologically and genetically distinct host races that offer an ideal biological system for studies on sympatric speciation. In addition to its obligate symbiont Buchnera, pea aphids harbour several facultative and phylogenetically distant symbionts. We explored the relationships between host races of A. pisum and their symbiotic microbiota to gain insights into the historical process of ecological specialization and symbiotic acquisition in this aphid. We used allozyme and microsatellite markers to analyse the extent of genetic differentiation between populations of A. pisum on pea, alfalfa and clover in France. In parallel, we…
ChemInform Abstract: One-Pot Synthesis of Polysubstituted Indolizines by an Addition/Cycloaromatization Sequence.
2013
Indolizines carrying various substituents in positions 5-8 were obtained from readily available 2-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)nitriles and α,β-unsaturated ketones or aldehydes in a one-pot procedure. Michael addition of the deprotonated aminonitriles to the acceptors followed by acid-catalyzed electrophilic cyclization produces 5,6-dihydroindolizine-5-carbonitriles. From these stable intermediates, substituted indolizines were obtained via base-induced dehydrocyanation.
TP53 and p16INK4A, but not H-KI-Ras, are involved in tumorigenesis and progression of pleomorphic adenomas.
2006
The putative role of TP53 and p16INK4A tumor suppressor genes and Ras oncogenes in the development and progression of salivary gland neoplasias was studied in 28 cases of pleomorphic adenomas (PA), 4 cases of cystic adenocarcinomas, and 1 case of carcinoma ex-PA. Genetic and epigenetic alterations in the above genes were analyzed by Polymerase Chain Reaction/Single Strand Conformational Polymorphism (PCR/SSCP) and sequencing and by Methylation Specific-PCR (MS-PCR). Mutations in TP53 were found in 14% (4/28) of PAs and in 60% (3/5) of carcinomas. Mutations in H-Ras and K-Ras were identified in4%(1/28) and7% (2/28) of PAs, respectively. Only 20% (1/5) of carcinomas screened displayed mutatio…
Novel mutations of the MET proto-oncogene in papillary renal carcinomas.
1999
Hereditary papillary renal carcinoma (HPRC) is characterized by multiple, bilateral papillary renal carcinomas. Previously, we demonstrated missense mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain of the MET proto-oncogene in HPRC and a subset of sporadic papillary renal carcinomas. In this study, we screened a large panel of sporadic papillary renal carcinomas and various solid tumors for mutations in the MET proto-oncogene. Summarizing these and previous results, mutations of the MET proto-oncogene were detected in 17/129 sporadic papillary renal carcinomas but not in other solid tumors. We detected five novel missense mutations; three of five mutations were located in the ATP-binding region of t…
Measuring single small molecule binding via rupture forces of a split aptamer.
2011
The rupture force of a split (bipartite) aptamer that forms binding pockets for adenosine monophosphate (AMP) was measured by atomic force spectroscopy. Changes in the rupture force were observed in the presence of AMP, while this effect was absent when mutant aptamers or inosine were used. Thus, changes in the rupture force were a direct consequence of specific binding of AMP to the split aptamer. The split aptamer concept allowed the detection of nonlabeled AMP and enabled us to determine the dissociation constant on a single-molecule level.
Coordination properties of adenosine-5'-monophosphate and related ligands towards Me2Sn(IV)2+ in aqueous solution.
2002
Abstract The coordination of Me 2 Sn(IV) 2+ to adenosine-5′-monophosphate (AMP) and the related compounds d -ribose-5-phosphate (R5P), d -glucose-1-phosphate (G1P) and d -glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) in aqueous solution was investigated by means of potentiometric titration, and 1 H-, 31 P-NMR and Mossbauer spectroscopic methods in the pH range 2–11 ( I =0.1 M NaClO 4 , 298 K). The complex of AMP and Me 2 Sn(IV) 2+ precipitated at low pH was characterised by elemental analysis, FT-IR and Mossbauer spectroscopic methods. From a comparison of the p K values obtained in the presence and absence of metal ion and the stability constants for the different systems, the coordination of {N} is excluded,…
m6A RNA methylation of major satellite repeat transcripts facilitates chromatin association and RNA:DNA hybrid formation in mouse heterochromatin
2021
Abstract Heterochromatin has essential functions in maintaining chromosome structure, in protecting genome integrity and in stabilizing gene expression programs. Heterochromatin is often nucleated by underlying DNA repeat sequences, such as major satellite repeats (MSR) and long interspersed nuclear elements (LINE). In order to establish heterochromatin, MSR and LINE elements need to be transcriptionally competent and generate non-coding repeat RNA that remain chromatin associated. We explored whether these heterochromatic RNA, similar to DNA and histones, may be methylated, particularly for 5-methylcytosine (5mC) or methyl-6-adenosine (m6A). Our analysis in mouse ES cells identifies only b…
The reverse transcription signature of N-1-methyladenosine in RNA-Seq is sequence dependent
2015
The combination of Reverse Transcription (RT) and high-throughput sequencing has emerged as a powerful combination to detect modified nucleotides in RNA via analysis of either abortive RT-products or of the incorporation of mismatched dNTPs into cDNA. Here we simultaneously analyze both parameters in detail with respect to the occurrence of N-1-methyladenosine (m1A) in the template RNA. This naturally occurring modification is associated with structural effects, but it is also known as a mediator of antibiotic resistance in ribosomal RNA. In structural probing experiments with dimethylsulfate, m1A is routinely detected by RT-arrest. A specifically developed RNA-Seq protocol was tailored to …
