the prime objective of the study is to identify the long-run and short-run relationship between indian stock price viz., bse sensex (hereafter named as bse) and gold price (gold) in india. the daily closing price data were collected for the period of ten years ranging from 1st april 2004 to 31st march 2014 with 2490 observations. the study employed two models: model one used gold as dependent v...

The possibility of using a nonlinear moving average (NMA) test as a test for ARCH is considered. A joint test of ARCH and NMA tests is derived. The asymptotic relative efficiency of the NMA test against ARCH is also computed, and is found to be equal to zero. The small sample properties of the tests are examined by some simulation experiments, along with the effects of additive outliers. Overal...

background: the purpose of this study was to determine changes in sole arch index and their effects on non-contact lower-extremity injury rates among male karateka. materials and methods: forty-five male karateka with knee or ankle injuries were chosen from 288 male athletes attending 6 athletic clubs in kerman-iran. injury-related data were collected via a data recording sheet and sole arch in...

  In this study two groups of dental study models were selected to evaluate the relationship between the tooth size, arch dimensions , and dental crowding. The first group consisting of 56 pairs of dental study models (28 males and 28 females) with normal occlusion ( without dental crowding) ranging in  age from 16 to 20 years, were selected among 4445 students from Kerman by multi stage rando...

background : the concepts of ‘intelligence’ and ‘intellectual performance’ though seem alike, but are different. intelligence assessment of an individual is technical, is done by the application of multiple, reliable and validated, iq (intelligence quotient) tests on the same individual in different settings (date, place and time). however, ‘intellectual performance’ (ip) has a reference only t...

BACKGROUND A study was conducted to determine the reliability and validity of a new foot mobility assessment method that utilizes digital images to measure the change in dorsal arch height measured at 50% of the length of the foot during the Sit-to-Stand test. METHODS Two hundred - seventy five healthy participants participated in the study. The medial aspect of each foot was photographed wit...

In recent years, the importance of economical considerations in the field of dam engineering has motivated many researchers to propose new methods for minimizing the cost of dames and in particular arch dams. This paper presents a method for shape optimization of double curvature arch dams corresponding to minimum construction cost while satisfying different constraints such as natural frequenc...

There has been an increasing interest in hypothesis testing with inequality restrictions. An important example in time series econometrics is hypotheses on autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH). We propose a one-sided test for ARCH using the wavelet method, a new analytic tool developed in the last decade or so. The test is based on a wavelet spectral density estimator at frequen...
