boots The peaks over threshold (POT) model for catastrophe (CAT) reinsurance pricing has been widely used, but has mainly focused on univariate CAT reinsurance pricing.We provide further justification and support for the model by considering the addition of more than one type of CAT risk in the context of extreme value theory.We further extend the
Background and objectivesWe previously showed in a 6-month randomized controlled trial that resistance training and protein supplementation after bariatric surgery (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, RYGB) improved muscle strength without significant effect on weight loss and body composition changes.We performed a 5-year follow-up study in these subjects w
Abstract Background Microarray profiling has the potential to illuminate the molecular processes that govern the phenotypic characteristics of porcine skeletal muscles, such as hypertrophy or atrophy, and the expression of specific fibre types.This information is not only important for understanding basic muscle biology but also provides underpinni
Functional connectivity (FC) and resting-state network (RSN) analyses using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have evolved into a growing field of research and have provided useful biomarkers for the assessment of brain function in neurological disorders.However, the underlying mechanisms of the blood oxygen level-dependant (BOLD) signal
Background Formalin is a xenobiotic that is now commonly used as a preservative in the food industry.The liver is an organ that has the highest metabolic capacity as compared to other organs.Mangosteen or Garcinia mangostana Linn (GML) peel contains xanthones, which are a source of natural antioxidants.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the
