[1] In the early 1990s a cluster of extreme flood events occurred in the south Galway region of western Ireland, and this led to speculation of changing rainfall patterns in the area. In this paper we illustrate the use of generalized linear models (GLMs) to test for such changes and quantify their structure. GLMs, long established in the statistical literature, provide a flexible and rigorous ...

A common method to study the dynamic behavior of macroeconomic variables is using linear time series models; however, they are unable to explain nonlinear behavior of the series. Given the dependency between stock market and derivatives, the behavior of the underlying asset price can be modeled using Markov switching process properties and the economic regime significance. In this paper, a two-...

One of the major cipher symmetric algorithms is AES. Its main feature is to use S-BOX step, which is the only non-linear part of this standard possessing fixed structure. During the previous studies, it was shown that AES standard security was increased by changing the design concepts of S-BOX and production of dynamic S-BOX. In this paper, a change of AES standard security is studied by produc...

the consideration of tehran metropolis and its soundings areas has been the first one of recent challenges in iran’s spatial planning which made it possible to develop the concepts such metropolitan region and conurbation. however, it is obvious that there appears to be a much more proper structure due to neo-regionalism and globalization in order to understanding of dynamic nature of tehran an...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a technique used to compare efficiency in various sectors such as hospitals, chain stores, and dealerships. it represents a set of linear programming techniques and uses deter-ministic data (inputs and outputs), in stable conditions. the dea technique cannot be used when there is data with indeterministic nature, or when there is an environment with dynamic co...

A dynamic texture (DT) refers to a sequence of images that exhibit spatial and temporal regularities. The modeling of DTs plays an important role in many video-related vision tasks, where the main difficulty lies in fact how to simultaneously depict the spatial and temporal aspects of DTs. While unlike the modeling of DTs, tremendous achievements have been recently reported on static texture mo...
