Terminal differentiation of male germ cells into functional spermatozoa requires shaping and condensation of the nucleus as well as the formation of sperm-specific structures. A transient microtubular structure, the manchette, is mandatory for sperm head

Option-implied information and predictability of extreme returns : [Version 28 Januar 2013] [PDF]
We study whether prices of traded options contain information about future extreme market events. Our option-implied conditional expectation of market loss due to tail events, or tail loss measure, predicts future market returns, magnitude, and ...

On Tails of Perpetuities [PDF]
We establish an upper bound on the tails of a random variable that arises as a solution of a stochastic difference equation. In the nonnegative case our bound is similar to a lower bound obtained in Goldie and Grübel (1996).

Docking sheep tails is a long-standing practice that, when done at the recommended length, reduces the risk of flystrike. The recommended length is to cover the vulva of ewes and to a similar length in males.

The probability density function tail of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation in the strongly non-linear regime [PDF]
An analytical derivation of the probability density function (PDF) tail describing the strongly correlated interface growth governed by the nonlinear Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation is provided. The PDF tail exactly coincides with a Tracy-Widom distribution

Extremes have been gaining importance over time. This dissertation studies the impact of country’s tail dependence directly in asset allocation. We propose a new measure of country’s extreme dependence aggregating sector information. We use this new variable as a new characteristic in the asset allocation following Brandt and Santa-Clara (2006).
