Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurobehavioral disorder of childhood onset that is characterized by inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. All clinical criteria are behavioural. Inattentiveness, overactivity, and impulsiveness are presently regarded as the main clinical symptoms. The dynamic developmental behavioural theory (DDT) is based on the hypothesis that...

By applying inverse statistics to financial data it has recently been found from empirical studies that indices exhibit a pronounced gain-loss asymmetry [M.H. Jensen, Phys. Rev. Lett. 83 (1999) 76; I. Simonsen, M.H. Jensen, A. Johansen, Eur. Phys. J. B 27 (2002) 583; M.H. Jensen, A. Johansen, I. Simonsen, Physica A 324 (2003) 338]. This gain-loss asymmetry appears to have some similarities with...

s This paper investigates the long run relationship between education and economic growth in Nigeria between 1970 and 2003 through the application of Johansen Cointegration technique and Vector Error Correction Methodology. It examines two different channels through which human capital can affect long run economic growth in Nigeria. The first channel is when human capital is a direct input in t...

Erickson and Kruschke (1998) provided a demonstration that in certain situations people will classify novel stimuli according to an extrapolated rule, even when the most similar training exemplar is an exception to the rule. This result challenged exemplar models. Nosofsky and Johansen (2000) have called this finding into question by offering an exemplar-based explanation for those data based o...

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 1988, Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, Washington, D.C., 2006, pp. 63–66. The analytical procedures for all-way stop-controlled intersections in the 2000 edition of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) lack a model to estimate the 95th percentile queue length. This is considered a major shortc...

In this paper we will present a numerical method for computing incompressible free surface ows in irregular ge ometries in three dimensions The approach we are taking is based on three ideas The rst is the second order ac curate projection method of Bell Colella and Glaz Bell et al for computing nite di erence approximations to the incompressible ow equations on rectangular grids The second is ...

The octopus circulatory system is atypical of the molluscs, with a medially situated ventricle generating high arterial blood pressures (Johansen & Martin, 1962; Wells, 1979). Using free-moving Octopus dofleini, Johansen & Martin (1962) demonstrated the presence of an accessory branchial pump, boosting the venous blood pressure, between the anterior vena cava and the afferent branchial vessel. ...

This paper considers the importance of moving average errors for the Johansen trace test of cointegrating rank based upon approximating vector autoregressions (VARs). Two cases are emphasized and explored, both taking as their starting point the Wold decomposition. Though each case defined satisfies the same cointegrating vector, one is a case of multicointegration while the other, based on res...

The Indian stock market is one of the earliest in Asia being in operation since 1875, but remained largely outside the global integration process until the late 1980s. A number of developing countries in concert with the International Finance Corporation and the World Bank took steps in the 1980s to establish and revitalize their stock markets as an effective way of mobilizing and allocation of...
