We provide some additional material pertaining to our paper Hu and Shum (2008). In section 1, we verify our assumptions for a dynamic discrete-choice model inspired by Rust’s (1987) bus engine replacement model. Section 2 contains a comparison of our framework with that in Kasahara and Shimotsu (2009). Section 3 contains supplemental discussion related to Example 2 in the main paper and additio...

Seed extraction and drying methods are important procedures employed after harvesting fruits of African eggplant as these affect the seed quality. This study sought to evaluate physiological quality two cultivars subjected various durations natural fermentation different methods. In first study, were fermented for 0, 6, 12, 24 48 h before extraction. second experiment, seeds extracted sun/24 h;...

This paper presents different techniques for reducing glitch power in digital circuits. The aim of this study is to minimize glitch power as glitch power comes under dynamic power, so that power dissipation will reduce up to some extent in digital circuits. Warren Shum et.al [2011] work shows glitch power in FPGA’s varies from 4 % to 73 % of total dynamic power having an average of 22.6 %. Warr...

A cross-sectional survey, using cluster sampling technique, of slum population, was done to explore the oral health status and the prevalence of common oral diseases. A close ended questionnaire comprising Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth (DMFT) Index, Gingival Index (Löe and Silness) and Plaque Index was applied to evaluate and record oral diseases, in both male and female population, coverin...

[1] We determine a regional spatiotemporal gravity field over northern South America including the Amazon region using GRACE inter-satellite range-rate measurements by application of a wavelet-based multiresolution technique. A major advantage of this method is that we are able to represent the Amazon hydrological signals in form of time series of detail signals with level-dependent temporal re...
