-In this research paper we found that in order to meet the growing energy needs as a consequence of spiraling demand and diminishing supply, in today’s world renewable energy and biomass sources mostly bio-fuels are receiving more attention. The demand for energy has been phenomenon due to the rapid development of certain growing economies, especially in developing countries. Also because of th...

We study a class of infinite horizon stochastic games with uncountable number of states. We first characterize the set of all (nonstationary) short-term (Markovian) equilibrium values by developing a new Abreu, Pearce, and Stacchetti (1990) type procedure operating in function spaces. This (among others) proofs Markov Perfect Nash Equilibrium (MPNE) existence. Moreover, we present techniques of...

The dependence of energy intensity (energy/GDP ratio) on the economic growth is studied in details for panel South Asian economies. Typically, it assumed that technological advanced developed economies a negative relationship between and valid due to declining trends developing positive valid. However, if trend effects are removed, may not be saving under world. This main hypothesis this study....

A hierarchical framework is proposed to address the issues of modeling different type of words in keyword spotting (KWS). Keyword models are built at various levels according to the availability of training set resources for each individual word. The proposed approach improves the performance of KWS even when no training speech is available for the keywords. It also suggests an easier way to co...

This paper employs a the variable returns to scale DEA model to take account of risky assets and estimate the operating efficiencies for the 21 domestic listed securities firms during the period 2005-2009. Evidence is found that on average the brokerage securities firms’ operating efficiencies are better than integrated securities firms. Evidence is also found that the technical inefficiency fr...

Most small island economies or ‘microstates’ have distinctly different characteristics from larger developing economies. They are more open and vulnerable to external and environmental shocks, resulting in high output volatility. Most of them also suffer from locational disadvantages. Although a few small island economies have succeeded in generating sustained rapid growth and reducing poverty,...
