We consider a semiparametric quantile factor panel model that allows observed stock-specific characteristics to affect stock returns in nonlinear time-varying way, extending Connor, Hagmann, and Linton (2012) the restriction case. propose sieve-based estimation methodology is easy implement. provide tools for inference are robust existence of moments form weak cross-sectional dependence idiosyn...

in this paper, following the methods of connor, we introduce some new generalized double difference sequencespaces using summability with respect to a two valued measure, double infinite matrix and an orlicz function in 2-normed spaces which have unique non-linear structure and examine some of their properties.

With the evolution of social living came the problem of forming, maintaining, advertising, and repairing social bonds between individuals (e.g. de Waal 1986, 1993). Affiliative contact behaviors such as grooming and socio-sexual behavior play an important role in the expression and negotiation of social bonds. In rare cases an affiliative contact behavior may be restricted largely to one sex. P...

Rapid changes in technology have led to an increasingly fast pace of product introductions. New components offering added functionality, improved performance and quality are routinely available to a growing number of industry sectors (e.g., electronics, automotive, and defense industries). For long-life systems such as planes, ships, nuclear power plants, and more, these rapid changes help sust...

Resilience refers to an individual’s ability to thrive despite adversity. The current study examined the psychometric properties of the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) in the Indian context. The sample comprised of 256 students (age M =22.75, SD = 1.36 years) who completed questionnaire measures of trait resilience (CD-RISC), Big Five Inventory (BFI), Positive and Negative Affect Sch...

In herbivores such as the rabbit the regulation is easily overloaded; the addition of large amounts of cholesterol to the diet may result in a tenfold increase in the level of cholesterol in the serum. Even in omnivores such as poultry, dietary cholesterol causes a marked rise in serum cholesterol (March, Biely & Lindsay, 1964). Also in man, recent experiments have clearly shown that an excess ...

Bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP) is synthesized from exogenous phosphatidylglycerol (PG) by macrophages (Cochran, F. R., Roddick, V. L., Connor, J. R., Thornburg, J. T., and Waite, M. (1987) J. Immunol. 138, 1877-1883). Previous work from our laboratory showed that arachidonic acid in BMP was released by the macrophages upon challenge of the cells with PMA (Cochran, F. R., Connor, J. R., Rod...
