Equine piroplasmosis is a severe disease of horses caused by the intra-erythrocyte protozoan, Theileria equi and Babesia caballi. The aim of this study was to identify equine piroplasmosis based on molecular and morphometrical features in horses in suburb of Urmia, West Azerbaijan province, Iran. From April to September 2011, a total number of 240 blood samples were collected ...

In this paper, we develop a method to efficiently estimate dynamic discrete choice models with AR(n) type serial correlation of the errors. First, to approximate the expected value function of the underlying dynamic problem, we use Gaussian quadrature, interpolation over an adaptively refined grid, and solve a potentially large non-linear system of equations. Second, to evaluate the likelihood ...

Equine piroplasmoses are enzootic parasitic diseases distributed worldwide with high incidence in tropical and subtropical regions. In Spain, there is insufficient epidemiological data about equine piroplasmoses. The main aim of the present study was therefore to estimate the prevalence of Theileria equi and Babesia caballi in five regions and obtain information about the risk factors. This stu...

Equine piroplasmosis is an acute, subacute or chronic tick-borne disease due to Babesia caballi and/or Theileria equi, affecting Equidae and causing economic losses horse breeders poor performances during tournaments. The objectives were fourfold: first determine the seroprevalence of in horses via cELISA, second establish haematological profile different Algerian areas through optical microsco...

This paper examines the hedging effectiveness of gold futures for the stock market in minimizing variance and downside risks, including value at risk and expected shortfall using data from the Iran emerging capital market during four different sub-periods from December 2008 to August 2018. We employ dynamic conditional correlation models including VARMA-BGARCH (DCC, ADCC, BEKK, and ABEKK) and c...

Shear wave velocity (Vs) is known as one of the fundamental material parameters which is useful in dynamic analysis. It is especially used to determine the dynamic shear modulus of the soil layers. Nowadays, several empirical equations have been presented to estimate the shear wave velocity based on the results from Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and soil type. Most of these equations result i...

the current paper examines intertemporal capital asset pricing model in iran’s stock market. dynamic conditional correlation was used to estimate conditional variance and covariance portfolios with market returns. time varying beta is estimated by kalman filter method. based on the obtained results, risk aversion coefficients were between 0.013 and 0.28 and the average was 0.20. significance of...
