the present research aims to evaluate impacts of crude oil price return index, bloomberg petroleum index and bloomberg energy index on stock market returns of 121 companies listed in tehran stock exchange in a 10 years' period from early 2006 to april 2016. first, explanatory variables were aligned with petroleum products index mostly due to application of dollar data. subsequently, to che...

purpose the purpose of this investigation was to compare a practical measurement of fat free mass index (ffmi) from bioelectrical impedance analysis (bia) to the dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (dexa) value in collegiate athletes. methods thirty-three male baseball players and 16 female gymnasts volunteered to participate in this study during their respective pre-season. subjects visited the l...

A simple relation between the optical electronegativity, energy gap, refractive index and electronic polarizability is given for ternary chalcopyrite semiconductors. Energy gap has been evaluated from the optical electronegativity whereas refractive index and electronic polarizability values have been evaluated from the energy gap by proposing a linear relation between them. The calculated valu...

Abstract: Energy intensity is a measure of the energy efficiency of a nation’s economy. Many factors influence a country’s energy intensity. In this paper, however, we note the effective factors of energy intensity and decompose it by applying Logistic Smooth Transition Regression (LSTR) in Iran during the period 1980- 2013. The main factors are the ratio of the added value of se...
