Motivated by the need for effectively summarising, modelling, and forecasting distributional characteristics of intra-daily returns, as well recent work on histogram-valued time-series in area symbolic data analysis, we develop a model quantile-function-valued (QF-valued) daily summaries returns. We call this dynamic quantile function (DQF) model. Instead histogram, propose to use g-and-h summa...

Biological organisms use their sensory systems to detect changes in their environment. The ability of sensory systems to adapt to static inputs allows wide dynamic range as well as sensitivity to input changes including fold-change detection, a response that depends only on fold changes in input, and not on absolute changes. This input scale invariance underlies an important strategy for search...

Amyloid is a heterogeneous family of extracellular proteinaceous deposits characterized by apple-green birefringence on polarized light microscopy. There are rare case reports of these extracellular deposits accumulating in the upper and central airways. Progressive infiltration may impair glottic and airway function with some cases requiring intervention to improve flow. Bronchoscopy and lung ...

In recent years, green synthesis of nanoparticles has attracted a great attention because of medicine and biological applications. In this work, bismuth oxide nanoparticles (Bi2O3 NP) was prepared via green synthesis using mentha pulegium aqueous extract after 24 h at 90°C. The product was characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray ...

abstract today, the concept of a city without green spaces in any shape is not imaginable. by the results of a city development and their ecological complexity, the existence of green spaces and their development have been inevitable forever. in recent research, the condition of the green space in firoozabad city has been studied. the methodology in this research is descriptive-analytical and a...

This paper adopts the slacks-based measure-directional distance function (SBM-DDF, 2009) method for deriving the “Green Innovation Growth” rates of 28 manufacturing industries in China. The results indicate that the overall level of green innovation growth in China’s manufacturing is relatively low, with a declining trend. The tradeoffs among energy, environment and economy are rather sharp, an...
