T he main purpose of this article is to analyze exchange rate behavior based on monetary fundamentals in the context of Iranian economy over the period 1990:2 to 2014:3. To do so, two monetary exchange rate models is investigated, the first by regarding interest rate differential as a monetary variable, and the second one regardless of interest rate differential as a monetary variabl...

WiMAX is the worldwide interoperability for microwave access, to provide business and consumer world wireless broad band services in metropolitan area networks. It has a target range of 31 miles and a target transmission rate exceeding 100 Mbps. Mobile WiMAX is an OFDM based technology for deployment which allows multiple-antenna operations to be performed on vector-flat sub carrier. Fixed WiMA...

This paper investigates the asymmetric effects of monetary policy on economic growth over business cycles in Iran. Estimating the models using the Hamilton (1989) Markov-switching model and by employing the data for 1960-2012, the results well identify two regimes characterized as expansion and recession. Moreover, the results show that an expansionary monetary policy has a positive and statist...

Internetware system are widely used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, effective acquisition of transition probability matrix is directly related to internetware reliability computation based on Markov chain model. The construction of Markov chain and the acquisition of transition probability of internetware are studied; the Markov chain of internetware reliability is constructed. Tra...

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)-Measurement and Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrenia (MATRICS) clinical trial guidelines for cognitive-enhancing drugs in schizophrenia and the MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) were designed to facilitate novel compound development in the treatment of cognitive impairments. Several st...

Background Failure of procognitive drug trials in schizophrenia may reflect the clinical heterogeneity of schizophrenia, underscoring the need to identify biomarkers of treatment sensitivity. We used an experimental medicine design to test the procognitive effects of a putative procognitive agent, tolcapone, using an electroencephalogram-based cognitive control task in healthy subjects. Metho...

Transition phenomena between thermal noise state and turbulent state observed in a submarginal turbulent plasma are analyzed with statistical theory. Time-development of turbulent fluctuation is obtained by numerical simulations of Langevin equation which contains hysteresis characteristics. Transition rates between two states are analyzed. Transition from turbulent state to thermal noise state...
