TL;DR: In this paper, the authors test R/S analysis, Detrended Fluctuation Analysis and periodogram regression methods on samples drawn from Gaussian white noise, and the DFA statistics turns out to be the unanimous winner.
Abstract: A major issue in financial economics is the behavior of asset returns over long horizons. Various estimators of long-range dependence have been proposed. Even though some have known asymptotic properties, it is important to test their accuracy by using simulated series of different lengths. We test R/S analysis, Detrended Fluctuation Analysis and periodogram regression methods on samples drawn from Gaussian white noise. The DFA statistics turns out to be the unanimous winner. Unfortunately, no asymptotic distribution theory has been derived for this statistics so far. We were able, however, to construct empirical (i.e. approximate) confidence intervals for all three methods. The obtained values differ largely from heuristic values proposed by some authors for the R/S statistics and are very close to asymptotic values for the periodogram regression method.

TL;DR: It has been shown that GO might be successfully used as an efficient SA without the need of its reduction to rGO, and seems to be a good candidate as a cost-effective material for saturable absorbers for Er-doped fiber lasers.
Abstract: In this work we demonstrate comprehensive studies on graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) based saturable absorbers (SA) for mode-locking of Er-doped fiber lasers. The paper describes the fabrication process of both saturable absorbers and detailed comparison of their parameters. Our results show, that there is no significant difference in the laser performance between the investigated SA. Both provided stable, mode-locked operation with sub-400 fs soliton pulses and more than 9 nm optical bandwidth at 1560 nm center wavelength. It has been shown that GO might be successfully used as an efficient SA without the need of its reduction to rGO. Taking into account simpler manufacturing technology and the possibility of mass production, GO seems to be a good candidate as a cost-effective material for saturable absorbers for Er-doped fiber lasers.

TL;DR: The aim of this work was to estimate, on the basis of soil extraction procedures, whether a given soil is suitable for cultivation of plants used as food or feed, and to develop an extraction procedure that would represent the content of metal available to plants during growing season.

TL;DR: The properties of biologically active compounds extracted from the biomass of algae reported in the literature are presented in a structured way and a list of applications of algal extracts in different developing branches of agriculture (biostimulants, bioregulators, feed additives) and in pharmaceutical industry is assembled.
Abstract: Algal extracts are gaining increasing interest due to their unique composition and possibilities of wide industrial applications. Various extraction techniques are used for conversion of algal biomass into extracts. Recently, attention of scientists has been paid to novel methods, such as enzyme-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, pressurized liquid extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, and ultrasound-assisted extraction, which enable the extraction of biologically active compounds without their degradation. In this review, the properties of biologically active compounds extracted from the biomass of algae reported in the literature are presented in a structured way. Algal extracts contain compounds such as carbohydrates, proteins, minerals, oil, fats, polyunsaturated fatty acids as well as bioactive compounds such as antioxidants (polyphenols, tocopherols [vitamin E], vitamin C, mycosporine-like amino acids), and pigments, such as carotenoids (carotene xanthophyll), chlorophylls, and phycobilins (phycocyanin, phycoerythrin), which possess antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor properties. Finally, we assemble a list of applications of algal extracts in different developing branches of agriculture (biostimulants, bioregulators, feed additives) and in pharmaceutical industry.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of sacrificial reagents on the photocatalytic efficiency in water splitting reactions under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation was examined, where various reagents such as methanol, Na2S, and ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), as well as I- and IO3- ions were used to obtain an effective water splitting to H and O atoms.
Abstract: Hydrogen production by water splitting over a Pt−TiO2 catalyst has been studied. The main goal of the studies was to examine the influence of sacrificial reagents on the photocatalytic efficiency in water splitting reactions under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Various sacrificial reagents, such as methanol, Na2S, and ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), as well as I- and IO3- ions, were used to obtain an effective water splitting to H and O atoms. It was revealed that, in the case of using methanol as the sacrificial reagent, hydrogen evolution is also a result of methanol conversion. Photocatalytic water splitting was obtained when EDTA and Na2S were used as the sacrificial reagents.
