Abstract This study investigates the symmetric and asymmetric effects of FDI-growth nexus amidst financial crises, economic crises COVID-19 pandemic s in Nigeria over period 1983–2020. Having confirmed long-run stable state among variables, estimates suggest that FDI inflow/outflow is significantly linked with growth both long short run, while model suggests parameter have on during crisis Nige...

disconnects and defects in care – such as duplication, poor integration between services or avoidable adverse events – are costly to the health system and potentially harmful to patients and families. for patients living with multiple chronic conditions, such disconnects can be particularly detrimental. lean is an approach to optimizing value by reducing waste (eg, duplication and defects) and ...

this study considers the price transmission mechanism between farm and retail levels of beef market in east azerbaijan with weekly prices over 1377:1 to 1390:52 periods. to this end, using advantages of multivariate models, hansen- seo (2002)'s two- regime threshold vector error correction model (tvecm) was estimated by the maximum likelihood approach for evaluate the price transmission me...

Most web structures are huge, intricate and users often miss the purpose of their inquest, or get uncertain results when they try to navigate through them. Internet is enormous compilation of multivariate data. Several problems prevent effective and efficient knowledge discovery for required better knowledge management techniques it is important to retrieve accurate and complete data. The hidde...

Co-movement between futures prices can arise when commodities are substitutes. Using Johansen’s co-integration procedure, we fail to find a significant long-run link between soybean and corn prices on the Dalian Commodity Exchange of China. This relationship is re-examined using Johansen’s co-integration procedure that permits structural breaks. Results show evidence of co-integration and...

This paper presents a novel model of co-reference knowledge, which is based on the distinction of (i) a model of a common reality, (ii) a model of an agent’s opinion about reality, and (iii) a model of agents’ opinions if they talk about the same object or not. Thereby it is for the first time possible to describe consistently the evolution of the agent’s knowledge and its relative consistency,...

An algorithm for the integration of meshes derived from range data is presented. All of the triangles from either mesh which have sampled the same surface patch of the object are identified as co-measurements and only the most confidently acquired one is kept. Co-measurement identification is based on the position and orientation of the range scanner when each triangle was sampled. Once the red...
