DIVERSIFICATION WITH THE OPTION-TO-ABANDON: AN INTEGRATED VALUATION MODEL
A model that recognizes the possibility of total shareholder loss in the aftermath of bankruptcy reveals simultaneously the stock price effects of diversification and of the option to abandon assets to creditors. In essence the model integrates security pricing behavior predicted by the CAPM and by the OPM in a single formula. Results have implications for the valuation of equity and debt securities of firms in distress and of options when underlying cash flows are correlated with the market. The analysis suggests why models that consider only diversification or the option-to-abandon sometimes fail to track the behavior of actual returns

Simulating nearly edge-on sloshing in the galaxy cluster Abell 2199
Off-axis collisions between galaxy clusters may induce the phenomenon of
sloshing, causing dense gas to be dragged from the cool core of a cluster,
resulting in a spiral of enhanced X-ray emission. Abell 2199 displays
signatures of sloshing in its core and it is possible that the orbital plane of
the collision is seen nearly edge-on. We aim to evaluate whether the features
of Abell 2199 can be explained by a sloshing spiral seen under a large
inclination angle. To address this, we perform tailored hydrodynamical -body
simulations of a non-frontal collision with a galaxy group of
. We obtain a suitable scenario in
which the group passed by the main cluster core 0.8 Gyr ago, with a pericentric
separation of 292 kpc. Good agreement is obtained from the temperature maps as
well as the residuals from a -model fit to the simulated X-ray emission.
We find that under an inclination of the simulation results
remain consistent with the observations.Comment: 13 pages, 14 figures, accepted for publication in MNRAS; replaced

Resistante to mercury of endophytic bacteria obtained in contaminated sites.
Strategies for remediation of soils contaminated with mercury (Hg) are important and necessary. Several bacterial species interfere with biogeochemical cycle of mercury and are potential tools in bioremediation and/or phytoremediation programs. These bacteria are resistant to mercury and the main mechanism of resistance is mediated by proteins codificated by operon mer. This study aims to determine the level of resistance to mercury of endophytic bacteria and detect the presence of merA gene
Endophytic bacterium isolated of hosts present in contaminated areas by mercury in Pantanal mato-grossense.
The mercury is a contaminant in gold mining in the city of Poconé. This heavy metal is a toxic in different organisms and affect the human by bioaccumulation process causing a serie of cronic diseases. Mercury can be easily absorbed by plants and be accumulated in the human body through the food chain. The hypothesis is microorganism that is in association with plants, that survive in contaminated areas with mercury, provide greater resistance to contaminant and possibly an increased frequency of colonization. In this way, the aim of this study was to isolate endophytic bacterium that exhibit resistance to mercury
