The inconclusiveness of findings from various studies on Nigeria the effect crude oil price fluctuation stock market has led to an argument in literature, thus necessitating further exploration subject. This study examines variations selected performance variables using monthly frequency data covering January 1997 December 2016. Variance decomposition, impulse response analysis, and VAR estimat...

In a previous study, it has been shown that adult, non-reproductive female mice from a line Ž . Ž . selected for high litter size at birth S-line have higher residual feed intake RFI than females of Ž . a non-selected control line C-line . Several studies have indicated that a higher RFI is related to a higher activity level. Differences in activity may suggest underlying differences in coping ...

Ž . Apparent digestibility coefficients ADCs of macronutrients and energy, and apparent absorpŽ . tion coefficients AACs of amino acids and elements were assessed in an experiment with 0.9 kg Atlantic salmon reared in saltwater tanks. Duplicate groups of fish were fed five diets, where 0, Ž . Ž . 6.25, 12.5, 25 and 50% of crude protein CP from fish meal FM was replaced with CP from Ž . wheat gl...

The loss rates of protein and lipids were determined for enriched Artemia franciscana starved Ž y1. at different temperatures after enrichment. Following 12-h enrichment with DHA Selco 0.2 g l Ž at 288C, the nauplii were temperature acclimated and transferred to starving condition 0–96 h; . 58C to 308C . y1 Ž .

This study examines the relationship between renewable energy consumption, poverty alleviation and economic growth in South Africa. The paper applies Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model to examine long run Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) determine direction of causality variables. Quarterly data is used for period 1990 – 2018. findings established a presence poverty, growth, financ...

This paper applied the ARDL bounds test approach and VECM technique to examine long run relationship direction of causality between renewable energy consumption economic growth in Argentina. Quarterly time series data was employed this study covering a period 1990 2018. Trade openness, capital employment were included form multivariate framework. The results established that there is variables....

In this paper we intend to examine the application of Kullback-Leibler, Hellinger and LINEX loss function in Dynamic Linear Model using the real price of oil for 106 years of data from 1913 to 2018 concerning the asymmetric problem in filtering and forecasting. We use DLM form of the basic Hoteling Model under Quadratic loss function, Kullback-Leibler, Hellinger and LINEX trying to address the ...

Germany’s energy transition has been accompanied by a near doubling of power prices for private households since the outset of the new millennium. Millions of poor households and those that are close to the poverty threshold are likely to suff er from these increases in electricity cost. Focusing on low-income households, this paper illustrates the distributional implications of Germany’s energ...

â â â â â â â  this paper proposes a new forecasting model for investigating relationship between the price of crude oil, as an important energy source and gdp of the us, as the largest oil consumer, and the uk, as the oil producer. gmdh neural network and mlff neural network approaches, which are both non-linear models, are employed to forecast gdp responses to the oil price changes. the resul...
