A Fair Queueing Algorithm is proposed for data services in an integrated voice/data CDMA system. We introduce short-term and long-term fairness concepts to allocate data users fairly. Using these concepts, we propose Weighted Fair Queueing with Status Control(WFQS) in the consideration of a Generalized Processor Sharing(GPS) ¤uid-¤ow model. This proposed scheme allocates resources using channel...

The Austrian theory mainly deals with analyzing the effects of an increased credit offer on productive structures. In this respect, we propose to link long-term growth cycles to various short-term interest rate gaps. Are European Business Cycles affected when a fall in the money market rate disrupts agents' expectations of inflation? Using the hypothesis that individual speculation is motivated...

The aim of this paper is to examine whether herd behavior exists or not between di®erent types of Japanese banks. Using data of loans outstanding by types of banks from 1980 to 2000, we investigate statistical causality between loans from di®erent types of banks in Japan. Time-series analysis manifested the causality from city banks to regional banks, from long-term credit banks to city banks, ...

Credit derivatives are potentially one of the most important new types of financial products introduced during the past decade. Many investors have portfolios with values that ar higWy sensitive to shifts in the spread between risky and riskless yields, and credit derivatives offer these investors an important new tool for managing and hedging their exposure to this type of risk. In this articl...

An increase in credit, especially consumption can trigger aggregate demand growth above potential output which causes the economy to heat up. This study aims analyze effect of macroeconomic variables, such as interest rates, inflation, and gross domestic product (GDP), on for property credit Indonesia with period January 2011 – December 2018. The results show that short term, rate lag 1 2, infl...

We incorporate long-term defaultable corporate bonds and credit risk in a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium business cycle model. Credit risk amplifies aggregate technology shocks. The debt-capital ratio is a new state variable and its endogenous movements provide a propagation mechanism. The model can match the persistence and volatility of output growth as well as the mean equity premium...

We demonstrate, using a simple two-period equilibrium model of the economy, the potential effects of extreme event occurrences such as natural or humanitarian disasters on economic growth over the mediumto long-term. In particular, we focus on the effect of such shocks on investment. We examine two polar cases; an unconstrained economy where agents have access to perfect capital markets, versus...

we aimed to evaluate clinical, high resolution computed tomography (hrct) and pulmonary function test (pft) findings after 18-23 years of exposure in veterans of sulphur mustard (sm) exposure. we performed a cross-sectional study of 106 patients. inclusion criteria were 1: documented exposure to sm as confirmed by toxicological analysis of their urine and vesicular fluid after exposure 2: singl...

the influence of long-term mixed organic and inorganic contamination on soil microbial activity, community structure and genetic diversity was investigated in soil samples from a coke oven plant located in upper silesia, poland. the tested soils were heavily contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) and heavy metals. the microbial communities were characterized using the phospho...
