according to the importance of careful review of crude oil market fluctuations on the iranian economy, in this paper a multivariate model of markov switching vector error correction model (have been used). variables such as real gross domestic product in industrial sector, real effective exchange rate, real governmental expenditure, real import, inflation rate and real crude oil price is used t...

on one hand, oil is the greatest energy resource in the world and, on the other hand, because of the role of oil revenue in the economic of oil producer countries, such as iran,it is vital for these countries. so it is necessary to recognize different affective parameters on oil market for these countries. in this research, we try to forecast oil price as an important variable in world wide oil...

Since environmental issues have become a priority for everyone on the planet, and fact that growing demand fossil fuels will soon lead to reduction in world reserves, except climate change due their use greenhouse gas emissions. The aim of this work was assess potential introduction biofuels find optimal conditions enzymatic hydrolysis Japonica Rice husk. In addition, evaluate positive negative...

In a split sample design, we examine how the number of choice sets, design of the first choice set (starting point), and the choice of attribute levels in the cost attribute affect the precision in the elicited preferences in otherwise completely identical choice experiment surveys. These issues are investigated for Swedish households’ marginal willingness to pay to reduce power outages. Our re...

Genetic influences on lipid traits have been suggested by numerous studies. In addition to heritability studies, over 50 genome scans have been performed to identify regions of linkage for quantitative lipid levels. Five of these scans have been performed in African Americans (four univariate and one bivariate linkage analysis), but with results that have been largely inconclusive. Linkage anal...

We present the PFix algorithm for the fixed point problem f ðxÞ 1⁄4 x on a nonempty domain 1⁄2a; b ; where dX1; a; bAR ; and f is a Lipschitz continuous function with respect to the infinity norm, with constant qp1: The computed approximation x̃ satisfies the residual criterion jj f ðx̃Þ x̃jjNpe; where e40: In general, the algorithm requires no more than Pd i1⁄41s i function component evaluations,...

The nucleotide sequence diversity present among hepatitis C virus (HCV) isolates allows rapid adjustment to exterior forces including host immunity and drug therapy. This viral response reflects a combination of a high rate of replication together with an error-prone RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, providing for the selection and proliferation of the viruses with the highest fitness. We examined ...

At present the USA is in per capita terms the top greenhouse gas polluter among the world’s major economies. This is mirrored by the high energy intensity of all sectors of the US economy including manufacturing industries. A potential explanation for the higher energy intensity are lower US energy price levels. However, common price elasticity estimates are not high enough to explain the obser...

FUS1 is a candidate tumor suppressor gene organized in a 370 kb region which contains a set of 19 genes. The human FUS1 genomic sequence spans 3.3 kb containing 3 exons (NM_007275; Lerman and Minna, 2000). Overexpression of the FUS1 gene leads to G1 arrest and growth inhibition of lung cancer cells (Kondo et al., 2001). The human and the murine FUS1 genes were assigned to chromosome HSA3p21.3 a...
