This paper reviews the monetary approach to exchange rate determination and gives a brief historical review on the demand for money used in this approach. The monetary approach to exchange rate determination has come a long way. The basic models developed in the 1970s received initial support but did not hold up under further empirical research. With several advances in econometric analysis and...

Dapsone first came into medicine as an antibacterial agent but was found to be less effective than other sulfonamides. Likewise its activity against tuberculosis was disappointing. Nevertheless, it has been the main stay in the treatment of leprosy. It also has some action against malaria and other parasites.

Abstract The main objective of net pay determination, as an important step any reservoir study, is to exclude non-reservoir intervals so that better results are obtained from characterization, hydrocarbon in-place calculations, and dynamic flow simulation the reservoir. This study a comprehensive presentation most applicable methods available for highlighting their strengths, limitations, input...

Conformant planning is the problem of finding a sequence of actions that is guaranteed to achieve the goal for any possible initial state and nondeterministic behavior of the planning domain. In this paper we present a new algorithm for conformant planning, returning conformant plans of minimal length if the problem admits a solution, otherwise returning with failure. This work extends previous...
