We examine time-series variation in liquidity commonality across sovereign benchmark bonds from 10 Euro-area countries, over a 7-year period using tick-by-tick data the inter-dealer market and study how it is driven by supply determinants (funding constraints of financial intermediaries) demand (investor sentiment, uncertainty, cross-market linkages with equity market) liquidity. Commonality do...

we define minimal cn-dominating graph $mathbf {mcn}(g)$, commonality minimal cn-dominating graph $mathbf {cmcn}(g)$ and vertex minimal cn-dominating graph $mathbf {m_{v}cn}(g)$, characterizations are given for graph $g$ for which the newly defined graphs are connected. further serval new results are developed relating to these graphs.

The objective of this study is to determine how to do forward-looking analysis to determine the future need for various professionals, so that educational institutes can produce an appropriate labor force for national development. The concept of component part commonality, which derives from research on effective inventory management using material resource planning MRP , can also be applied to...

Character recognition in natural scenes continues to represent a formidable challenge in computer vision. Traditional optical character recognition (OCR) methods fail to perform well on characters from scene text owing to a variety of difficulties in background clutter, binarisation, and arbitrary skew. Further, English characters group into only 62 classes whereas many of the world’s languages...

3 7 ncreasingly, software engineers spend their time creating software families consisting of similar systems with many variations. While developers are pressed to build these families, they have no effective means for doing so. They are asked to create and reuse libraries of components but find those libraries costly to build and of limited value. They search for the right decomposition of the...

Biofilms, sticky conglomerations of microorganisms and extracellular polymers, are among the Earth's most common life forms. One component for their survival is an ability to withstand external mechanical stress. Measurements indicate that biofilm elastic relaxation times are approximately the same (about 18 min) over a wide sample of biofilms though other material properties vary significantly...
