Tail risk in international markets
<p>Tail risk, defined as extreme event risk in asset markets, is an important consideration for investors when making investment decisions. This paper empirically tests the role of tail risk in international market. Using sample of 40 countries from 1980 to 2014, I show that tail risk positively …

Optimisation of Mare's Tail coalescer technology.
The Mare's Tail technology was invented in ERT (Orkney) as a joint industrial project to reduce the use of chemicals in the produced water treatment process. The Mare's Tail is a fibrous type of coalescer used in the coalescence of oil droplets that are finely dispersed in the produced water stream …

Tail use in bioinspired quadrupedal locomotion
Tails are seen in nature to be used in an amazing number of different applications. Many of these applications seen in nature may be of use to bioinspired roboticists in the future. I have provided a brief review of tail use as seen in nature. An experiment was performed using the MIT Cheetah to …

The structure of the cytoplasmic dynein tail
… hydrolysis into mechanical force, an N-terminal tail domain, and a flexible linker domain to join the two together. An intermediate chain (DIC) and light intermediate chain (DLIC) bind directly to the DHC tail, while light chains (DLCs) bind to the DIC. This tail complex is important for both …

Elastic tail propulsion at low Reynolds number
… A robotic swimmer is constructed and both tail shape and propulsive force are measured. Filament characteristics and the actuation are varied and resulting data are quantitatively compared with existing linear and nonlinear theories.

Ncd Motor Tail Domain Interactions With Microtubules
… ATP-independent MT binding sites in the head and tail domains, respectively. Through the action of these binding sites, Ncd bundles and, perhaps, slides MTs relative to each other. These functions are important for the in vivo role of Ncd in the formation of the bipolar spindle and maintenance of …

The head and tail conjecture for alternating knots
… colored Jones polynomial, called its head and tail. We begin with a brief survey of knot theory and the colored Jones polynomial in particular. In Chapter 3, we use skein theory to prove that for adequate links, the n-th leading coefficient of the N-th colored Jones polynomial stabilizes when …

Function and regulation of poly(A)-tail length
Poly(A) tails are found at the 3' ends of nearly all eukaryotic messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs. The presence of a poly(A) tail promotes translation and inhibits decay of an mRNA, with both effects mediated through poly(A)-binding protein. However, an understanding of the …

Tail Asymptotics for the Limiting Distribution of Theta Sums
… of \alpha and \beta. We then prove optimal tail asymptotics for the limiting distribution. More specifically, we prove that, according to the limiting distribution, the probability of landing outside a ball of sufficiently large radius $R$ for an explicit set of rational pairs (\alpha, …

AeroDima: a cheetah-inspired aerodynamic tail for rapid manoeuvrability
… land animal has been hypothesised to use its tail for manoeuvrability and has been the source for many bio-inspired robotic tails. However, the use of a lightweight tail to achieve the same effects has not be studied. This paper goes into the study of using a lightweight, aerodynamic tail to …

Understanding the motions of the cheetah tail using robotics
… involve rapid swinging of the animal's lengthy tail. Despite this, very little is understood about the cheetah tail and its motion, with the common view being that it is "heavy" and possibly used as a "counter balance" or as a "rudder". In this dissertation, this subject is investigated by …

Critical role of histone tail entropy in nucleosome unwinding
… from a delayed loss of contacts between histone tails and the DNA. Surprisingly, there is a significant entropic contribution from the same set of disordered tails that largely offset the energetic barrier. Our study greatly improves the current understanding of nucleosome unwinding by providing …

Regulatory consequences of mRNA Poly(A)-Tail length changes
… a cap structure at their 5' ends and a poly(A) tail at their 3' ends, and the proteins that bind these features increase the stability and translation of an mRNA. The influence of the poly(A) tail on translation was discovered decades ago, but primarily with regard to the idea that an mRNA with …

The energetic consequences of tail loss to juvenile lizards
… the hypothesis that juveniles of species whose tail is important for predator deflection should allocate energy preferentially to tail growth at the expense of body growth. Relative linear tail growth (linear tail growth/linear body growth) and relative mass tail growth (tail mass growth/body …

EFFECTS OF RESTRICTIVE DISULFIDE BONDS IN THE VINCULIN TAIL DOMAIN
… notably in the strap and arm regions in the tail appear to assist interaction with these ligands. This agrees with a current model for actin interactions; however, data from this study supports a revised model for lipid binding in that the arm ‘stretches out’ so that basic residues in it can …

A characterization of the tail _-field for certain Markov chains
… probabilities, the measure of any set of the tail a-field is equal to either zero or one. Although recurrent Markov chains have trivial tail a-fields this is not in general true for transient chains. However the tail g-field for two merging independent Markov chains is trivial. Investigating …

Supporting the Discovery of Long-Tail Resources on the Web

Tail estimation of the spectral density under fixed-domain asymptotics
… the parameters $c$ and $theta$ control the tail behavior of the spectral density where $theta$ is related to the smoothness of random field and $c$ can be used to determine the orthogonality of probability measures for a fixed $theta$. Specially, c corresponds to the microergodic parameter …
