In this paper, the finite impulse response (FIR) filter based on an exponential quadratic cost function is proposed for a stochastic discrete-time state space model. The joint probability density function of the current state and the external noises on the recent finite horizon is introduced and the corresponding expected value of the exponential quadratic cost function is minimized with respec...

In order to assess how individual small investors have reacted to recent adverse events in world financial markets and whether these reactions are mediated by their risk attitudes, a survey was administered to N=120 members of a university community. The survey administered a standard risk tolerance instrument, augmented with questions on specific aspects of attitudes towards risk and uncertain...

langerhans cell histiocytosis (lch) is a rare disorder described as three different entities including eosinophilic granulomaof bone, the hand-schuller-christian syndrome, and letterer-siwe disease. lch is currently classified into singlesystem lch, and multisystem lch. patients with single system lch have an excellent prognosis, and are mostlytreated with local therapy. multisystem lch is subd...

Characterizations of the risks associated with foodborne pathogens are dependent on the availability of information on the population's exposure to the biological agents. However, by itself, exposure data are insufficient to assess the public health impact of pathogenic microorganisms. This requires the availability of effective dose-response models. Successful development of models that descri...

objective: cytochrome p450 is one of the major drug metabolizing enzyme families and its role in metabolism of cancer drugs cannot be less emphasized. the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) in cyp1a1 and pathogenesis of chronic myeloid leukemia (cml) has been investigated in several studies, but the results observed vary based on varied risk factors. the objective of thi...

some of inherent limitations of accrual accounting make the actual earnings and accounting earnings different. so assessment of reported earnings quality has allocated extensive bulk of accounting studies to itself. the decrease information quality such as earnings quality increases information risk and also the investor’s risk. it’ll increase their expected return. since cost of equity is the ...

Background Hearing loss is the most common congenital disorder the incidence of which is further increased in the presence of risk factors for hearing loss among newborns admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The aim of this study was early diagnosis and intervention for hearing loss in newborns discharged from NICU. Materials and Methods This prospective cohort study was conduct...
