Extremal Trees for Logarithmic VDB Topological Indices
AxiomsVertex-degree-based (VDB) topological indices have been applied in the study of molecular structures and chemical properties. At present, the exponential VDB index has been studied extensively.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

GFC-Robust Risk Management Under the Basel Accord Using Extreme Value Methodologies [PDF]
In McAleer et al. (2010b), a robust risk management strategy to the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) was proposed under the Basel II Accord by selecting a Value-at-Risk (VaR) forecast that combines the forecasts of different VaR models.

Heuristic Tools for the Estimation of The Extremal Index
Revstat Statistical Journal, 2018 Clustering of exceedances of a critical level is a phenomenon that concerns risk managers in many areas. The extremal index θ measures the propensity of the large observations in a dataset to cluster.

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Extreme Spectral Risk Measures: An Application to Futures Clearinghouse Margin Requirements [PDF]
, 2005 This paper applies the Extreme-Value (EV) Generalised Pareto distribution to the extreme tails of the return distributions for the S&P500, FT100, DAX, Hang Seng, and Nikkei225 futures contracts.

Extreme Body Condition Index Values in Small Mammals
LifeThe body condition index (BCI) values in small mammals are important in understanding their survival and reproduction. The upper values could be related to the Chitty effect (presence of very heavy individuals), while the minimum ones are little known.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

The generalization of several classical estimators for a positive extreme value index
Modern Stochastics: Theory and ApplicationsIn this paper, we introduce a family of semi-parametric estimators for the positive extreme value index γ, parameterized in two tuning parameters. The asymptotic normality of the introduced estimators is proved. It is shown that the partial case of newly
