Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDETERMINANTS OF COMMON FACTORS IN KOREAN BANKS’ CREDIT DEFAULT SWAP PREMIUMSSeungjun Lee, Jaewoon Koo, Youngsik KwakUsing the panel analysis of non-stationarity in idiosycratic and common component method, we decompose Credit Default Swap (CDS) premium data of 11Korean banks into common factors and idiosyncratic shocks. We find that the CDS premium of all 11 banks is mostly explained by one common factor. We also find that the common factor of the banks’ CDS premium is mainly … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 8 Dec 2014 · 7,020 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleChronic Kidney Disease-Mineral Bone Disoder: Fibroblast Growth Factor-23 and Phosphate MetabolismWisit Cheungpasitporn, Pongsathorn Kue-A-Pai, Patompong Ungprasert et al.Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a growing epidemic in the United States. There are hormonal changes that develop long before the mineral changes in patients with CKD occur. Increased Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) levels first become evident when the estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) is below 60 mL/min/1.73m2. High serum phosphate stimulates the secretion of the Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF-23) … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 4 May 2013 · 6,882 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTransforming Growth Factor-β: An Indirect Inducer of Th17 Cell Differentiation both in Human and Murine SystemJ. SchumannSince their first description only some years ago Th17 cells have become of vital importance in immunological research. However, the role of TGF-β in Th17 cell development is still a matter of controversial discussion. Predicted to have a key function in Th17 cell differentiation in the mouse TGF-β was shown to inhibit IL-17 production of human CD4+ T cells. Moreover, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,577 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePower Series Solution for a Two-step Reactive-diffusive Equation with Variable Pre-exponential FactorE.A. Adebile, O.K. Koriko, U.S. IdiongWe discussed in this research a power series method for solution of a two-step reactive-diffusive equation with variable pre-exponential factor. A transformation was used to fit in the geometry of the model to allow an asymptotic series expansion which is invoked in a two compartmental regions with respect to the spatial variable. Adequate matching conditions were used at the interface … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,855 accessesView PDFCite
