Binary events are involved in many economic decision problems. In recent years, considerable progress has been made in diverse disciplines in developing models for forecasting binary outcomes. We distinguish between two types of forecasts for binary events that are generally obtained as the output of regression models: probability forecasts and point forecasts. We summarize specification, estim...

The density and modulus of elasticity (MOE) distribution can provide information on the effectiveness parametric non-parametric methods in calculating characteristic value MOE. In this study, we aim to determine optimal model actual measured data lumber. We also estimate lumber’s MOE compare difference between natural planted larch. Approximately 1200 pieces dimension lumber 4 m × 140 mm 40 siz...

Carotenoids (C40) are synthesized in plastids and perform numerous important functions in these organelles. In addition, carotenoids can be processed into smaller signaling molecules that regulate various phases of the plant's life cycle. Besides the relatively well-studied phytohormones abscisic acid (ABA) and strigolactones (SLs), additional carotenoid-derived signaling molecules have been di...

26 We report a previously well 10-month-old Somalian girl who acquired asymmetric lower limb weakness 27 in July 2013 in Mogadishu, Banadir, before arriving in Malaysia at 12 months of age. In May 2013, there 28 was a wild poliomyelitis outbreak in the area, as reported by the World Health Organization. A laboratory 29 investigation including cerebrospinal fluid was unremarkable, and electrophy...

Were evaluated natural attenuation, biostimulation and bioaugmentation on the degradation of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in soils contaminated with diesel oil. Bioaugmentation showed the greatest degradation in the light (C12 C23) fractions (72.7%) and heavy (C23 C40) fractions of TPH (75.2%) and natural attenuation was more effective than biostimulation. The greatest dehydrogenase activ...

The possible formation of a “cluster molecule” (C20)2 from two single C20 fullerenes is studied by the tight-binding method. Several (C20)2 isomers in which C20 fullerenes are bound by strong covalent forces and retain their identity are found; actually, these C20 fullerenes play the role of “atoms” in the “cluster molecule”. The so-called open-[2+2] isomer has a minimum energy. Its formation p...

This paper focusses on survey expectations and discusses their uses for testing and modeling of expectations. Alternative models of expectations formation are reviewed and the importance of allowing for heterogeneity of expectations is emphasized. A weak form of the rational expectations hypothesis which focusses on average expectations rather than individual expectations is advanced. Other mod...

A test strategy consisting of a two-step application of a Lagrange Multiplier test was recently suggested as a device to reveal spatial nonstationarity, spurious spatial regression and spatial cointegration. The present paper generalises the test procedure by incorporating control for biased test values emerging from unobserved heteroscedasticity. Using Monte Carlo simulation, the behaviour of ...

Betonun durabilitesi, kalitesine bağlı olup, performansta ise bileşen malzemeler, karışım oranları, üretim yöntemi, betonun bakım ve kürü gibi süreçler ile çevre koşulları da etkili olmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, farklı dayanım sınıflarında hazırlanan beton örneklerin, kontrollü olarak suyundaki azalma artmanın sülfat direncindeki değişimi belirlemektir. amaçla C20/25, C30/37 C40/50 tasarımla...

The screening of lesser-known underutilized seeds as source of food has been a way of finding solution to food insecurity in developing nations. In this regard, oil as a class of food was extracted from the seeds of Diospyros mespiliformis  (4.72 ± 0.2%), Albizia lebbeck  (6.40 ± 0.60%), and Caesalpinia pulcherrima  (7.2 ± 0.30%). The oils were finally analyzed for their fatty acid composition,...
