The article describes a new data structure called neuro-index. It is an alternative to wellknown file indexes. The neuro-index is fundamentally different because it stores weight coefficients in neural network. It is not a reference type like ”keyword–position in a file”.

One of the fundamental tasks that data warehouse (DW) administrator needs to perform during the physical design is to select the right indexes to speed up her/his queries. Two categories of indexes are available and supported by the main DBMS vendors: (i) indexes defined on a single table and (ii) indexes defined on multiple tables such as join indexes, bitmap join indexes, etc. Selecting relev...

Dua and Miller (1996) created leading and coincident employment indexes for the state of Connecticut, following Moore’s (1981) work at the national level. The performance of the DuaMiller indexes following the recession of the early 1990s fell short of expectations. This paper performs two tasks. First, it describes the process of revising the Connecticut Coincident and Leading Employment Index...

Macro-finance addresses the link between asset prices and economic fluctuations. Many models reflect the same rough idea: the market’s ability to bear risk varies over time, larger in good times, and less in bad times. Models achieve this similar result by quite different mechanisms, and I contrast their strengths and weaknesses. I outline how macro-finance models may illuminate macroeconomics,...

A CARDINAL GOAL of librarians of institutions of higher learning is to build up collections of permanent value. For a non-fiction work to serve this purpose, we would expect it to be read in whole or in part and to be referred to for such things as facts, opinions, ideas, or felicitous phrasing. College librarians have to buy books selectively, a task made more difficult by the rising cost of b...

This study contributes to the emerging literature offering alternative measures of uncertainty due COVID-19 pandemic. We combine both news-and macro-based trends construct an index. The former involves use Google with plausible variants words used capture pandemic, which are combined using principal components analysis develop a news-based For index, we identify global factors such as oil price...

This study constructs the financial stability indexes of Islamic and conventional banking systems for Indonesia using dynamic factor model. Both are then linked to economic performance in by employing a nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) We contribute literature investigating possibility asymmetric linkages between both system performance. The constructed broad range macro-financi...

A detailed multi-scale investigation of the geotechnical, chemical and mineralogical properties was conducted on contaminated sediment samples collected within Mar Piccolo, a marine basin in south Italy. The is located close to one most important industrial sites Europe, which has also been declared ‘at high risk environmental crisis’ prioritised for remediation activities. multidisciplinary ca...

Standard macro theories reflect a choice-theoretic orientation wherein aggregate variables are treated as acting directly on one another. Macro phenomena are thus reduced to the same order of simplicity as micro phenomena; macro variables differ from micro variables only by their larger size. In contrast, this paper treats the relationship between micro and macro as non-scalable. Macro phenomen...
