This paper presents an empirical analysis of the Russian market of mergers and acquisitions (the largest market for corporate control in Central and Eastern Europe) in 2003–2012 in terms of the total volume and value of the merger and acquisition deals of the holding companies. This analysis allowed for the conclusion that, to assess and forecast the integration activity of holding companies, t...

Overstock is a problem that often occurs in inventory management, the factor are number of sales and expired date. CV.A distributor company for goods. In case control at CV.A, this study compared two kind forecasting system; Weighted Moving Average (WMA) Exponential Smoothing (ES) methods. Research results showed forecast SNACK X using WMA method July 2021 1662, while ES 1697. After performed f...

Sea cucumber catch has followed “boom-and-bust” patterns over the period of 60 years from 1950-2010, and sea cucumber fisheries have had important ecological, economic and societal roles. However, sea cucumber fisheries have not been explored systematically, especially in terms of catch change trends. Sea cucumbers are relatively sedentary species. An attempt was made to explore whe...

Compression and differencing techniques can greatly improve storage and transmission of files and file versions. Since files are often transported across machines with distinct architectures and performance characteristics, compressed data should be encoded in a form that is portable and efficient to decode. This paper describes the Vcdiff encoding format for differencing and compression data a...

An algorithm for synthesizing color textures from a small set of parameters is presented in this paper. The synthesis algorithm is based on the 2-D moving average model, and realistic textures resembling many real textures can be synthesized using this algorithm. A maximum likelihood estimation algorithm to estimate parameters from a sample texture is also presented. Using the estimated paramet...

This paper considers the conditional sum of squares estimator (CSSE) for the moderate deviation MA(1) process that has the parameter of the MA(1) with the distance between the parameter and unity being larger than O(T−1). We show that the asymptotic distribution of the CSSE is normal, even though the process belongs to the local-tounity class. The convergence rate continuously changes from an i...

Study deals with the land cover dynamics analysis using remote sensing data over urban, suburban area in northern Belarus (Polotsk and Novopolotsk cities and surroundings) over the period 1994 – 2002. SPOT 3 and 5 images are used for the study. Land cover change detection is conducted using image differencing and post-classification comparison methods. Several classification methods are tested ...
