This study examines the effect of international listing on the conditional return distribution of Australian stocks in the domestic market. We conduct an intervention analysis in an EGARCH framework to measure any shift in the parameters describing the daily return generating process. All fifteen stocks that were listed on the major U.S. exchanges (NYSE and NASDAQ) as American Depositary Receip...

We demonstrate for the first time that a Pd nanolayer, which is in situ formed on the Ni foam via the galvanic exchange method, greatly improves the energy output, the round-trip efficiency and the cyclability of the aprotic Li-air battery in ambient or simulated air.

Existing models of nutrient transfer in arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses are inadequate as they do not explain the range of real responses seen experimentally. A computer simulation model was used to evaluate the novel hypotheses that mycorrhizal nutrient transfers were based solely on symbionts' internal needs, and that carbon and phosphorus transfers were quantitatively unlinked. To be p...

this paper analyzes the effects ofexchange policies on iran,s foreign trade, by applying new econometric techniques. in assessing the impacts of depreciation of the national currency on macroeconomic variable, the real rather than nominal exchange rate has been determined to be more appropriate criterion to demonstrate the success or failure ofthe adopted policies. during the period under the s...

The goal of this article is an exact Bayesian analysis of the Heston (1993) stochastic volatility model. We carefully study the affect different parameterizations of the latent volatility process and the parameters of the volatility process have on the convergence and the mixing behavior of the sampler. We apply the sampler to simulated data and to some DM/US$ exchange rate data.

function blocks along with IEC 61850 specifications in modeling and implementing control applications for substations automation. The IEC 61499 artifacts are used for structuring the control logic, while the IEC 61850 concepts for communication and information exchange between the automation devices. The proposed control architecture was implemented and validated in a simple fault protection sc...

This study investigates the effects of  macroeconomic variables and their role in development of foreign exchange market. The foreign exchange market is the mechanism by which a person of firm transfers purchasing power form one country to another, obtains or provides credit for international trade transactions, and minimizes exposure to foreign exchange risk. The foreign exchange transaction i...

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a key protein in cellular signaling, and its kinase domain (EGFR kinase) is an intensely pursued target of small-molecule drugs. Although both catalytically active and inactive conformations of EGFR kinase have been resolved crystallographically, experimental characterization of the transitions between these conformations remains difficult. Using u...
