Polyphosphate and tissue factor/factor VIIA as initiators of coagulation
… of the coagulation cascade. For many coagulation factors, these interactions are mediated via γ-carboxyglutamate rich regions, or GLA domains, in a Ca2+-dependent manner. Nearly all studies of GLA domain-containing coagulation factors, and coagulation in general, have utilized supraphyisologic …

The tissue factor-factor VII(a) complex in blood coagulation
… cascade in vivo is mediated by tissue factor (TF), which functions as the cell surface receptor and catalytic cofactor for factor VIIa (FVIIa), as well as the mediator for the autoactivation of factor VII (FVII) to FVIIa. Upon vascular injury, TF is exposed to the bloodstream where it …

Essays on Factor Models
… of three chapters describing the applications of factor models in different fields of asset pricing. The first chapter addresses the following issue: Prominent volatility-based factor pricing models focus exclusively on the second moment of asset returns, and hence, tend to identify volatile …

Bias-Free Joint Simulation of Multi-Factor Short Rate Models and Discount Factor
… explores the use of single- and multi-factor Gaussian short rate models for the valuation of interest rate sensitive European options. Specifically, the focus is on deriving the joint distribution of the short rate and the discount factor, so that an exact and unbiased simulation scheme …

Direct determination of stiffness factor and carry-over factor for parabolic haunched beams
… for the direct determination of stiffness factor and carry-over factor for parabolic haunched beams. the conventional methods require long and tedious calculations, so the development of these equations, which require only the direct substitution of the variables, is useful. A digital …

Effects of tumor necrosis factor alpha on nitric oxide synthase in nerve growth factor-responding cells
… accompanied by a decrease in nerve growth factor (NGF)-responsive cholinergic neurons. I report a synergistic effect of the cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa) and NGF on expression of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells. NGF/TNFa-promoted iNOS can be …

Plasma tissue factor, tissue factor pathway inhibitor and restenosis following femoropopliteal percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in claudicants
… There is growing evidence that the tissue factor-tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TF-TFPI) interaction, a major regulator of haemostasis, plays an important role in the healing response of arteries following PTA. In this study, 1) we reassessed claudicants awaiting femoropopliteal PTA for …
