Checkerboard copula defined by sums of random variables

We consider the problem of finding checkerboard copulas for modeling multivariate distributions.A checkerboard copula is a distribution with a corresponding wac 4011 density defined almost everywhere by a step function on an m-uniform subdivision of the unit hyper-cube.We develop optimization procedures for finding copulas defined by multiply-stoch

Orphenadrinium dihydrogen citrate

In the title salt, C18H24NO+·C6H7O7−, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings in the cation us polo assn mens sweaters is 74.2 (5)°.In the crystal, anion–anion O—H.O hydrogen bonds and weak O—H.O interactions form infinite chains along [100].Between these chains, cation–anion N—H—O hydr

Induction of Functional Specific Antibodies, IgG-Secreting Plasmablasts and Memory B Cells Following BCG Vaccination

Tuberculosis (TB) is a major global health problem and the only currently-licensed vaccine, BCG, is inadequate.Many TB vaccine candidates are designed to be given as a boost to BCG; an understanding of the BCG-induced immune response is therefore critical, and the opportunity to relate this to circumstances where BCG does confer protection may dire
