The interrelationship between international stock markets has been a key study area among the financial market researchers for international portfolio management and risk measurement. The characteristics of security returns and their dynamics play a vital role in the financial market theory. This study is an attempt to find out the dynamic linkages among the equity market of USA and emerging ma...

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...

Cancer: Current Research Two prominent medical journals recently published epidemiologic studies [Inskip et al. (1) and Muscat et al. (2)] on cellular telephones and brain cancer. These papers were featured in a front-page story in The New York Times (3). The message of the story was essentially that these were definitive studies that put the question of handheld cell phone hazard to rest. The ...
