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. …”

Use of co-cultivation method to stimulate the production of antimicrobial natural products from mangrove microorganisms by Tan, Jin Wei

“…Cryptic gene clusters from actinomycetes are suspected to harbor potential in producing bioactive products, and in this study, co-cultivation is utilized to stimulate these cryptic gene clusters in novel antibiotics production. 10 actinomycete strains isolated from Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve were co-cultured with Mycobacterium Abscessus and Asperigillus Westerdijikiae in two liquid mediums, Glucose-Yeast extract-Malt extract (GYM) and Minimum Media (MM). Their culture extracts were screened for antibacterial activity using filter-disc assay. …”

Studies of seed-borne fungi of tropical pasture legume species by Nik, WZ, Parbery, DG

“…In order to isolate storage fungi, seeds were incubated on salt-malt agar. This medium was also effective in isolating pathogens which survived for long periods in seed, which suggests that such pathogens may share with storage fungi physiological characteristics which aid survival in seed. …”

A wearable circulator‐like circularly polarised antenna for full‐duplex wireless body area network applications by Thakur, Ajeet, Sharma, Ashwani, Garcia Zuazola, Ignacio Julio

“…Since the total power at each respective port is maintained and not halved (−3 dB) with the measured port isolation of ~28 dB in real scenarios (with the potential evidence of ~34 dB) within the ISM band, that leads to a circulator‐like antenna, meaning that a typically cascaded circulator/duplexer can be relieved and leave to the digital processing any self‐interference challenge of full duplex systems through digital cancelation techniques, which alleviates the overall costs of RF hardware and eases integration. …”
