The present thesis deals with asymptotic analysis of financial time series models with conditional heteroscedasticity. It is well-established within financial econometrics that most financial time series data exhibit time varying conditional volatility, as well as other types of non-linearities. Reflecting this, all four essays of this thesis consider models allowing for time varying conditiona...

We discuss the concepts underlying Rediflow, a multiprocess ing system be ing designed to support concurrent programm ing through a hybrid model of reduction , dataflow, and von Neumann processes. The techniques of automatic load-balan cing in Rediflow are described in som e detail.

Textbooks must comply with the BSNP assessment criteria, one of which is contextual dimension. Overall, Javanese language textbook entitled Basa Jawa Trampil ing Trapsila Bawa used in SMP Negeri 1 Ngawi was not accordance real-life context Regency. This study aims to describe form material textbook. A descriptive qualitative approach as a research approach. The data collection technique reading...

Most of the observational claims in cosmology are based on the assumption that the universe is isotropic and homogeneous so they essentially test different types of Friedmann models. This also refers to recent observations of supernovae Ia, which, within the framework of Friedmann cosmologies give strong support to negative pressure matter and also weaken the age conflict. In this essay we drop...

plicitly, by an equally nebulous third term: sense. The relation is ambiguous, and shift-­ ing, because sound—especially in the context of poetry—is of that species of homographs which produce their own antonyms.4 On the one hand, sound—defined as “the au-­ dible articulation(s) corresponding to a let-­ ter or word” (def. 4b)—has been understood as distinct from linguistic meaning: “the sound m...

The bidirectional texture function (BTF) is the recent most advanced representation of visual properties of material surface. It specifies its appearance due to varying spatial, illumination, and viewing conditions. Corresponding enormous BTF measurements require compact mathematical representation for visual fidelity preserving compression. We present a novel BTF model based on a set of underl...

This study develops a model for essay scoring and article relevancy. Essay scoring is a costly process when we consider the time spent by an evaluator. It may lead to inequalities of the effort by various evaluators to apply the same evaluation criteria. Bibliometric research uses the evaluation criteria to find relevancy of articles instead. Researchers mostly face relevancy issues while searc...

The procedure for the grading of students’ essays in subject-based examinations is quite challenging particularly when dealing with large number of students. Hence, several automatic essay-grading systems have been designed to alleviate the demands of manual subject grading. However, relatively few of the existing systems are able to give informative feedbacks that are based on elaborate domain...
