Face recognition is important in human identification. The biological recognition technique acts as a good method and broad applications in security areas. This work presents a method to improve the face recognition accuracy using a combination of Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and Wavelet Transform. Wavelet Transform is used to decompose the input image with different levels and rearrange...

صخلملا Infertility affects 15% of couples seeking children worldwide and male factor is evident in about 30-50% of the cases. To assess the effect of sperm chromatin integrity on the outcomes of intracytoplasmic injection, sperm DNA compactness was evaluated by acridine orange staining in 40 fertile and 44 infertile men attending one infertility clinic. The results showed no significant differe...

صخلملا The search for novel anticancer drugs continues. This work includes a preliminary study of the effect of two crude extracts of Greek or Mediterranean sage (Salvia triloba L. f.) on three malignant human cell lines and one malignant murine cell line. A boiling water extract and a methanolic extract were prepared from dried leaves of S. triloba. Yields of extraction were 9.8 and 22.4%, res...

This paper constructs a composite leading index for business cycle prediction based on vine copulas that capture the complex pattern of dependence among individual predictors. This approach is optimal in the sense that the resulting index possesses the highest discriminatory power as measured by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The model specification is semi-parametric in nat...

This paper proposes a new method to forecast S&P 500 return distribution by combining quantile regression models using macro-finance variables with volatility-based models including various standard EGARCH and stochastic volatility specifications. 30 density forecasting models are compared and combined in an out-of-sample forecasting exercise. Using macro-finance variables is found to help subs...

This paper shows that out-of-sample forecast comparisons can help prevent data mining-induced overfitting. The basic results are drawn from simulations of a simple Monte Carlo design and a real data-based design similar to those in Lovell (1983) and Hoover and Perez (1999). In each simulation, a general-to-specific procedure is used to arrive at a model. If the selected specification includes a...

We forecast quarterly US in‡ation based on the generalized Phillips curve using econometric methods which incorporate dynamic model averaging. These methods not only allow for coe¢ cients to change over time, but also allow for the entire forecasting model to change over time. We …nd that dynamic model averaging leads to substantial forecasting improvements over simple benchmark regressions and...
