This paper tests for uncovered interest parity (UIP) using daily data for 23 developing and developed countries during the crisis-strewn 1990s. We find that UIP works better on average in the 1990s than in previous eras in the sense that the slope coefficient from a regression of exchange rate changes on interest differentials yields a positive coefficient (which is sometimes insignificantly di...

The partition of unity is an essential ingredient for meshless methods named by GFEM, PUFEM (partition of unity FEM), XFEM(extended FEM), RKPM(reproducing kernel particle method), RPPM(reproducing polynomial particle method), the method of clouds in the literature. There are two popular choices for partition of unity: a piecewise linear FEM mesh and the Shepard-type partition of unity. However,...

We present a new method for the 3D model-based tracking of human body parts. To mitigate the diicul-ties arising due to occlusion among body parts, we employ multiple calibrated cameras in a mutually orthogonal connguration. In addition, we develop criteria for a time varying active selection of a set of cameras to track the motion of a particular human part. In particular, at every frame, each...

Hunger is more cruel then other tragedies. Saint Ramalingar loudly said to the enlightened world that ‘Seevakarunyam’ spiritual contribution elimination of hunger another soul. He has happyness and sorrow belong only soul, not for body. So suppresses wisdom It a crime satisfy sinners. Humans have power feel others. Therefore, primary task Vallalaar fellow human beings. Also insists on eating me...

We consider a class of adaptive multilevel domain decomposition-like algorithms, built from a combination of adaptive multilevel finite element, domain decomposition, and partition of unity methods. These algorithms have several interesting features such as very low communication requirements, and they inherit a simple and elegant approximation theory framework from partition of unity methods. ...

This research aims to create a model for acculturation dialogue between representatives of religion, local wisdom, and power. The study uses socially defined paradigm as an approach cultural adopts the theory institutional development Islam (almuhaafadhatu ala al-qadiimi al-shaalih wa al-akhdu bi al-jadiidi al-ashlah). found five models wisdom power, namely, 1) taggayyur /deculturating /changin...

Once a niche part of the cyber community, video games today represent one major industries and “the combination technology spiritualist narratives”. In cyberspace dedicated to game trivia, we can find intimate reports players who claim that impacted them spiritually or they felt unity with spirit universe. By analyzing three (Everybody’s Gone Rapture, Cyberpunk 2077, Death Stranding), author ai...

This paper is dedicated to the memory of Amos de-Shalit, with deep sadness at the loss, not only of a very distinguished and important scientific colleague, but also of a very close personal friend whose gentleness was matched only by his wisdom. In his tragically brief life he persistently strove to bridge the growing gulfs between different scientific disciplines as also between different cul...
