located in Mexico‚ the Mexico stock market index‚ and the world market index‚ together with the standard deviations (SD) of returns and the expected returns ( R ). The risk-free rate is 5%. 1. Compute the domestic country beta of Telmex as well as its world beta. What do these betas measure? 2. Suppose the Mexican stock market is segmented from the rest of the world. Using the CAPM paradigm‚ estimate the equity cost of capital of Telmex. 3. Suppose now that Telmex has made its shares tradable internationally

Title: Investigation of Induction Time of lac operon in E. Coli with IPTG‚ and Comparision of the Amount Beta-galactosidase produced with Lactose‚ IPTG and Antibiotic. Abstract: Introduction: An operon is a group of genes that are arranged side by side with a regulatory gene. It also includes a promoter gene‚ operator gene‚ structural genes. Regulatory genes control transcription with positive or negative signal. (Jacob‚ and Monod‚ 1961) A positive signal‚ inducer‚ would stimulate

Beta blockers (β-blockers or BBs) were invented and designed by Sir James Black‚ who was a Nobel Prize winning scientist. Black designed beta blockers to counteract stimulated adrenergic effects. He demonstrated that‚ by blocking the cardiac beta-receptors‚ these agents could cause inhibitory effects on the sinus node (chronotropic effect)‚ atrioventricular node (dromotropic effect)‚ and on myocardial contractility (inotropic effect).1 It is important to note that not all beta receptors (β-receptors)

EMG 9 and EMG 26 contain strain _lac-_(I- Z+ Y+) and strain _lac -_ (I+ Z- Y-)respectively.Three genes huddled together on the chromosome are required for two strains of _E.coli_ to utilize lactose.Consisting of three genes‚ namely‚ _lacZ_‚ _lacY_ and _lacA_‚ the _lac_ operon orderly handles these genes to code specific enzymes necessary for the metabolism of lactose. The genes _lacZ_‚ _lacY_ and _lacI_ would code for beta-galactosidase‚ galactosidase permease

digestive enzyme found in the intestines of mammals. Beta-galactosidase is an enzyme that initiates the breakdown of the substrate lactose. Lactose is a disaccharide sugar found in milk. It is composed of two rings. The rings contain 5 carbon atoms and an oxygen atom. Attached to the carbon atoms are a hydrogen atom and an OH group or another carbon. The rings are bound together by an oxygen bridge. This bridge can be broken when the enzyme Beta-galactosidase binds to lactose and a water molecule
