THE CD IN AMERICAN BANKING: A RETROSPECT AND PROSPECT

The CD in American banking: a retrospect and prospect

The negotiable time certificate of deposit (CD) has played an important role in the competitive struggle of commercial banks in the US since 1961, enabling them to tap sources of funds they had neglected since the banking reforms of the 1930s.The aggressive employment of the CD has already brought about various changes in banking practises, and may

A NOVEL STRAIN OF Aspergillus niger PRODUCING A COCKTAIL OF HYDROLYTIC DEPOLYMERISING ENZYMES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SECOND GENERATION BIOFUELS

The screening and isolation of fungi producing a cocktail of hydrolytic enzymes was studied.Among the various isolates obtained from different soil samples, a strain NS-2 was selected.The phylogenetic analysis of this strain showed highest homology (99%) with Aspergillus niger.It was capable of producing cellulolytic, hemicellulolytic, amylolytic,

Fault Diagnosis Using Cascaded Adaptive Second-Order Tristable Stochastic Resonance and Empirical Mode Decomposition

Aiming at the problems of poor decomposition quality and the extraction effect of a weak signal with strong noise by empirical mode decomposition (EMD), a novel fault diagnosis method based on cascaded adaptive second-order tristable stochastic resonance (CASTSR) and EMD is proposed in this paper.In the proposed method, low-frequency interference c
