We present a T E X macro package for generating the arabic writing from a standardized ASCII input notation. It can handle partial or full vocalization, and generates automatically most of the common ligatures. There is limited support for Farsi, Urdu, and Pashto. ArabT E X is compatible with Plain T E X and also most L a T E X environments; arabic and other material can be mixed freely. For sp...

We introduce the technique of worst case search to macro stress testing. Among the macroeconomic scenarios satisfying some plausibility constraint we determine the worst case scenario which causes the most harmful loss in loan portfolios. This method has three advantages over traditional macro stress testing: First, it ensures that no harmful scenarios are missed and therefore prevents a false ...

This paper, based on the average monthly data (January, 2001 to May, 2013) of 12 macroeconomic variables, uses the data reduction technique-factor analysis to derive the factors which determine the performance of stock market in India. The Principal Component Technique after using orthogonal rotation extracted three factors labeled intuitively as Macro Environment, Industrial Performance and Po...

macroH2A is an H2A variant with a highly unusual structural organization. It has a C-terminal domain connected to the N-terminal histone domain by a linker. Crystallographic and biochemical studies show that changes in the L1 loop in the histone fold region of macroH2A impact the structure and potentially the function of nucleosomes. The 1.6-A X-ray structure of the nonhistone region reveals an...

The following propositions are true: (1) Let X be a set, p be a permutation of X, and x, y be elements of X. Then p +· (x, p(y)) +· (y, p(x)) is a permutation of X. (2) Let f be a function and x, y be sets. Suppose x ∈ dom f and y ∈ dom f. Then there exists a permutation p of dom f such that f +· (x, f(y)) +· (y, f(x)) = f · p. Let X be a finite non empty subset of R. The functor minX yielding ...

MzScheme’s continuation marks provide a flexible mechanism for implementing a number of useful language features and tools. We demonstrate the simplicity and utility of continuation marks by adapting them for JavaScript as frame-based stack marks using the Rhino implementation, showing a simple model of their behavior, and using them to build a toy debugger. Along the way, we discover a few int...

in the present-day world, the concept of internationalization plays a significant role in organizational achievements. therefore, it is crucial to identify the factors affecting the readiness of small and medium-sized enterprises to enter international markets. based on the conceptual model, environmental factors have been divided into external (macro and micro environment) and internal factors...

This paper explores the transmission of credit conditions into the real economy. Specifically, I examine the forecasting power of the term structure of credit spreads for future GDP growth. I find that the whole term structure of credit spreads has predictive power, even though the term structure of Treasury yields has none. Using a parsimonious macro-finance term structure model that captures ...

OBJECTIVES There are close associations among raised white blood cell (WBC) count, coronary heart disease, and metabolic syndrome in the general population. The association between WBC count and vascular complications of diabetes has not been explored. We carried out a cross-sectional cohort study to determine the association between WBC count and the presence of macro- and microvascular compli...

The vision shows the path to achieve the goals of the organization. Without vision, the direction, the tasks of organization’s units, and their contribution in each of the functions will not be clear. The reason of ineffectiveness in Construction Engineers Organization of Zanjan may be the lack of appropriate vision. In this case, the non-aligned and heterogonous efforts may cause the organizat...
