دانشکدة هنرهای زیبا از زمان تأسیسْ تحولات مختلفی را به لحاظ ساختار آموزشی و جریان‌های فکری تجربه کرده است. نگارنده در این مقاله مقایسة تطبیقی دو دورة ابتدایی (بدو تأسیس تا سال 1348 آن انقلاب فرهنگی) می‌پردازد. سؤالات تحقیق موارد هستند: بنیاد اولیة آموزش معماری هر دوره بر چه اصولی نهاده شده است؟ شیوه‌ای برای وجود داشته ویژگی‌های اصلی بوده روش به‌کاررفته مطالعة اولیه نوع تفسیری‌ـ تاریخی است پی به‌...

Vector autoregressions (VAR) are extensively used to model economic time series. The large number of parameters is the main diicult with VAR models, however. To overcome this, Litterman (1986) suggests to use a Bayesian strategy to estimate the VAR, equation by equation, where, a priori, the lags have decreasing importance (known as Litterman Prior). In this paper, a VAR model is analyzed throu...

This paper will try to look into the two important methods for the calculation of Value at Risk (VaR) for non linear portfolio using Monte Carlo Simulation method. The two techniques Closed form VaR and Multilevel Monte Carlo VaR for valuing the derivative portfolio are explained in details. In case of multilevel Monte Carlo simulation, it has been found that with decrease in the number of inne...

Antigenic variation of Plasmodium falciparum is mediated by a mutually exclusive expression mechanism that limits expression to an individual member of the multicopy var gene family. This process determines the antigenic and adhesive phenotype of the infected red blood cell. Previously, we showed that var gene switching is influenced by chromosomal position. Here, we address whether var gene tr...

Superelastic wires and diamond-shaped stent surrogates were manufactured from Nitinol rods and tubing, respectively, from five different mill product suppliers - Standard VAR, Standard VIM, Standard VIM+VAR, Process-Optimized VIM+VAR, and High-Purity VAR. High-cycle fatigue tests up to 10(7) cycles were conducted under tension-tension conditions for wires and bending conditions for diamonds. Th...

BACKGROUND and Aims The four cultivated Erythroxylum taxa (E. coca var. coca, E. novogranatense var. novogranatense, E. coca var. ipadu and E. novogranatense var. truxillense) are indigenous to the Andean region of South America and have been cultivated for folk-medicine and, within the last century, for illicit cocaine production. The objective of this research was to assess the structure of g...

Members of the Plasmodium falciparum var gene family encode clonally variant adhesins, which play an important role in the pathogenicity of tropical malaria. Here we employ a selective panning protocol to generate isogenic P.falciparum populations with defined adhesive phenotypes for CD36, ICAM-1 and CSA, expressing single and distinct var gene variants. This technique has established the frame...

The one-seeded, serrate leaf margined junipers of Southwestern United States and northern Mexico consist of J. angosturana, J. californica, J. coahuilensis var. arizonica, J. c. var. coahuilensis, J. monosperma, J. pinchotii, J. occidentalis var. australis, J. o. var. occidentalis and J. osteosperma. Recent nrDNA and trnC-trnD sequence data were compared with RAPDs analysis and two of the taxa ...

Some Angelica species are used for medicinal purposes. In particular, the roots of Angelica acutiloba var. acutiloba and A. acutiloba var. sugiyamae, known as “Toki” and “Hokkai Toki”, respectively, are used as important medicinal materials in traditional Japanese medicine. However, since these varieties have recently outcrossed with each other, it is difficult to determine whether the Japanese...

Event risk is the risk that a portfolio’s value can be affected by large jumps in market prices. Event risk is synonymous with “fat tails” or “jump risk”. Event risk is one component of “specific risk,” defined by bank supervisors as the component of market risk not driven by market-wide shocks. Standard Value-at-Risk (VaR) models used by banks to measure market risk do not do a good job of cap...
