in this paper we investigate the long memory of tehran securities price index and fit arfima model using 970 daily data since 1382/1/6 until 1386/4/17. furthermore, we compare the forecasting performance of arfima and arima models. the results show that the series is a long memory one and therefore it can become stationary by fractional differencing. we obtaine the fractional differencing param...

pavement design using mechanistic-empirical methods is often carried out based on the some assumptions for pavement layer's properties (thickness, elastic modulus, poisson's ratio and ….), loading properties(axial weight, tire coordinates, number of repetitions and …) and also the failure mechanism for different materials. fulfillment of these assumptions for evolution of pavement performance d...

Determination of attentional status is important because working performance and an unexpected accident is highly related with the attention. The autonomic nervous and the central nervous systems can reflect the changes in person’s attentional status. Reduced number of suitable pysiological parameters among autonomic and central nervous systems related signal parameters will be critical in opti...

kinetic modeling is an important issue, whose objective is the accurate determination of the rates of various reactions taking place in a reacting system. this issue is a pivotal element in the process design and development particularly for novel processes which are based on reactions taking place between various types of species. the fischer tropsch (ft) reactions have been used as the kineti...

The effects of input parameters on the square-cup deep-drawing process for a two-layer aluminum/steel laminated sheet were investigated. Each layer was 0.7 mm thick, and the input parameters covered in the investigation were punch nose radius (PR), die shoulder radius (DR), the clearance between a punch and die (CPD), blank holder force (BHF), and layer arrangement (LA). The effects of the inpu...

This work presents information on the patterns of yield determination by yield components as a function of the level of management of the crop. The data used for the analyses were obtained from 8 field experiments located across Poland in 2009 and 2010. 25 winter wheat cultivars were evaluated at two management levels, i.e., at a low input of nitrogen fertilisation and pesticides and at a h...
