Asymptotic Exponential Arbitrage in the Schwartz Commodity Futures Model by Tesfamariam Tadesse Welemical, Jane Akinyi Aduda, Martin Le Doux Mbele Bidima

“…In this paper, we consider the Schwartz’s one-factor model for a storable commodity and a futures contract on that commodity. We introduce the analysis of asymptotic arbitrage in storable commodity models by proving that the futures prices process allows asymptotic exponential arbitrage with geometric decaying failure probability. …”

The Association of SGLT-2 inhibitors (Empagliflozin) with the development of hypernatremic dehydration: a case report by Diana Alegre-González, Sandra García-Guerreros, Sara Martínez-Hernández, Ana Yasmina Brito-Díaz, Marta Casañas-Martínez, Ramón Baeza-Trinidad

“…Sodium-Glucose-Cotransporter -2 inhibitors (SGLT2 inhibitors) are a new class of drugs that reduce blood glucose levels by increasing glucose excretion and lowering blood pressure through natriuresis and plasma volumen contraction. Due to their beneficial effects, they are currently used in treatment of both diabetes mellitus and heart failure, leading to widespread use in recent years. …”

Intermittent Short Atrioventricular Delay in a Dual Chamber Pacemaker During Acute Pulmonary Edema by Ravi Vazirani, Miriam García Cocera, David Calvo

“…ABSTRACT We present the case of an 80‐year‐old female with acute pulmonary edema and a dual chamber pacemaker with intermittent short AV delays in the surface ECG after blocked premature atrial contractions (PACs). The behavior was consistent with the programmed Window of Atrial Rate Acceleration Detection (WARAD) and did not require further parameter modifications. …”

Fixed Point Results in Fuzzy Strong Controlled Metric Spaces with an Application to the Domain Words by Aftab Hussain, Umar Ishtiaq, Hamed Al Sulami

“…In this manuscript, we introduce the notions of fuzzy strong controlled metric spaces, fuzzy strong controlled quasi-metric spaces, and non-Archimedean fuzzy strong controlled quasi-metric spaces and generalize the famous Banach contraction principle. We prove several fixed point results in the context of non-Archimedean fuzzy strong controlled quasi-metric space. …”

Double Controlled Dislocated Quasi-Metric Type Spaces and Some Results by Abdullah Shoaib, Shaif S. Alshoraify, Muhammad Arshad

“…The aim of this work is to introduce double controlled dislocated quasi-metric type spaces and to obtain fixed point results for a pair of multivalued mappings satisfying Kannan-type double controlled contraction in such spaces. An example has been built and a remark has been given which shows that how our result can be used when a corresponding new result in dislocated quasi b-metric type spaces cannot be used. …”

Common Fixed Points of Two Mappings regarding a Generalized c-Distance over a Banach Algebra by Ladan Aryanpour, Hamidreza Rahimi, Ghasem Soleimani Rad

“…In this article, applying the concept of a generalized c-distance in cone b-metric spaces over Banach algebra with a nonnormal solid cone therein, we establish several common fixed point theorems for two noncontinuous mappings satisfying the Han-Xu-type contraction. Our results are interesting, since they are not equivalent to former well-known results regarding a wt-distance in b-metric spaces while they contain recent results corresponding to a generalized c-distance in cone b-metric spaces.…”

Effects of Local Heating and Whole-Body Hyperthermia on Neuromuscular and Cognitive Function in Young and Old Healthy Adults by Junli Wang

“…Results: In the first study, for the older adults (vs. younger adults), the application of local heating (vs. control trial) was accompanied by a significant increase in maximal voluntary peak torque, rate of torque development, and isokinetic peak torque of plantar flexion/dorsiflexion muscle contraction. In the second study, older males demonstrated greater neuromuscular fatigability resistance and faster maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) torque recovery after a 2-min sustained isometric MVC task under thermoneutral and severe hyperthermic conditions. …”
