We consider certain conditions for abstract lattices of commuting squares, that we prove are necessary and sufficient for them to arise as lattices of higher relative commutants of hyperfinite II1 inclusions of finite Jones index. In particular, we construct a one parameter family of inclusions of hyperfinite II1 factors N ⊂ M, with trivial relative commutant (Nλ)′∩Mλ = C with the Jones index [...

background: health status of children and adolescents is determined to a larger extent by their nutritional status. there are no published studies available on the influence of thinness on childhood morbidity using new world health organization‑body mass index (who‑bmi) for age criteria. methods: this cross‑sectional study was conducted in primary, high schools, pre‑university and degree colleg...

Dow Jones Index time series exhibit irregular or fractal fluctuations on all time scales from days, months to years. The apparently irregular (nonlinear) fluctuations are selfsimilar as exhibited in inverse power law form for power spectra of temporal fluctuations. Inverse power law form for power spectra of fractal fluctuations in space or time is generic to all dynamical systems in nature and...

We define alignment scores, the Hurst exponent and root mean square variation and use them along with Shannon entropy to analyze the Dow Jones index for the years 1985-2010. It is seen that the dynamical behavior of the US stock market is characterized by the temporal variations of the Hurst exponents, the Shannon entropy, the scores and the root mean square variation. We conclude that these me...

in this study we analyze the effects of environmental performance on the generation of firm value from dow jones sustainability index europe. we use a sample of 122 firms from different sectors, except financial one, which belong to this index for the years 2007 through 2009. the expected results, taking into account our hypotheses, should show a positive relationship between the generation of ...
