Poly(ß-hydroxy thioether)s: synthesis through thiol-epoxy ‘click’ reaction and post-polymerization modification to main-chain polysulfonium salts by Stuparu, Mihaiela Corina, Khan, Anzar

“…The thioether group can be modified by a post-polymerization alkylation reaction to access antibiofouling and antibacterial ß-hydroxy sulfonium salts. Overall, therefore, the thiol-epoxy reaction is highly utilitarian in the context of polymer synthesis. …”

A comparison of methods for forecasting value at risk and expected shortfall of cryptocurrencies by Trucíos, C, Taylor, JW

“…Those procedures are revisited in this paper, and their value at risk and expected shortfall forecasting performance are evaluated using recent Bitcoin and Ethereum data that include periods of turbulence due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the third halving of Bitcoin, and the Lexia class action. Additionally, in order to mitigate the influence of model misspecification and enhance the forecasting performance obtained by individual models, we evaluate the use of several forecast combining strategies. …”
