As the title suggests, this paper compares two “formula” or mechanical investment techniques, dollar cost averaging and a relatively new proposal, value averaging, to a form of random investing to determine if any technique yields superior investment performance. Results indicate that value averaging does provide superior expected investment returns when investment prices are quite volatile and...

The mobile online medium (i.e. mobile data communication) allows the creation of context-sensitive profiles for mobile consumers by using identityand context information and thereby enabling the efficient targeting of current consumers' needs.

We separate the “rentier” portion of the budget constraint of the representative agent from the “income-plus-distributed profits” segment. The former’s wealth consists exclusively of returns on government bonds, the latter’s wealth is wage income from working for firms plus the distributed profits of the latter. The non-neoclassical element is the non-imposition of the market-clearing assumptio...

In the current study, we investigated role of camel milk and pistachio in muscle growth rats with cancer-induced sarcopenia. Female Sprague Dawley weighing 180 – 200 grams were selected for a bioefficacy trial 13 weeks divided into four groups: G1 (negative control), G2 (positive G3 (normal diet + milk), G4 based product). Tumors induced by administering 50 mg/kg 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene ...

Pathogenicity and anastomosis groups of seven Rhizoctonia-like isolates obtained from infected pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) seedlings were determined, in the central district Siirt province at Southeast Anatolia Region Turkey. Browning on crown root collected saplings drying plants observed. In pathogenicity test, most virulent isolate was Rs2 with a disease severity 93.75%. The group this isol...

A model of the ecological niche nut fruit Pistacia vera has been developed based on known locations in Central Asia and an analysis abiotic environmental variables order to map out area optimal conditions for both wild domesticated forms. The reveals a much larger suitability species than it presently occupies. list key their ranges are compared with values those which have gathered from experi...

Pistachio is one of the most important horticultural products of Iran with special economic importance. In average 70% of Iran pistachio are exported. Aflatoxin is secondary metabolites of fungus such as Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus. If favorite condition is prepared for stabilization of fungi spores producing Aflatoxin, the first pistachio contamination to Aflatoxin occurs in orchard....
