BACKGROUND The end-diastolic velocity (EDV) of thyroid arteries reflects peripheral blood flow resistance. OBJECTIVE The aim was to evaluate EDV correlations with other Doppler sonography parameters and with clinical and biochemical variables in a sample of patients with hypothyroidism caused by chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (CAT). METHODS A sample of 48 CAT hypothyroid patients receiving ...

Texturized vegetable protein (TVP) is one of the meat analogue products made by modifying structure come to be meat-like texture. Several advantages could obtained consuming analogue. It reduce risk disease and consumed someone who not consume meat, either because health problems or beliefs consumption will increase continually inline with increasing population, economic level, public awareness...

Endostatin (ES) is a fragment of collagen XVIII that possesses antiangiogenic activity. To gain insight into ES-mediated signaling, we studied the effects of ES RNA on Xenopus embryogenesis and observed developmental abnormalities consistent with impaired Wnt signaling. ES RNA blocked the axis duplication induced by beta-catenin, partially suppressed Wnt-dependent transcription, and stimulated ...

We introduce a new class of time-varying parameter vector autoregressions (TVP-VARs) where the identified structural innovations are allowed to influence dynamics coefficients in these models. An estimation algorithm and parametrization conducive model comparison also provided. apply our framework US economy. Scenario analysis suggests that, once accounting for shocks on autoregressive coeffici...

We investigated the connectedness of returns and volatility clean energy stock, technology crude oil, natural gas, investor sentiment based on time-varying parameter vector autoregressive (TVP-VAR) approach. The empirical results indicate that average total is higher in system than return system. has a weak impact stock. Our show dynamic across assets varies with time. Furthermore, increases si...

Price stability has been the foremost task of monetary policy. The information relating to the response of prices to monetary policy shocks is essential for conducting monetary policy in general and for inflation targeting of central banks in particular. Most of the published empirical studies analyze the response of an aggregate price index like CPI or a consumption deflator and their r...

This paper proposes a factor augmented autoregressive distributed lag (FADL) framework for analyzing the dynamic effects of common and idiosyncratic shocks. We first estimate the common shocks from a large panel of data with a strong factor structure. Impulse responses are then obtained from an autoregression, augmented with a distributed lag of the estimated common shocks. The approach has thr...

We apply multivariate statistical methods to a large dataset of Singapore’s macroeconomic variables and global economic indicators with the objective of forecasting business cycles in a small open economy. The empirical results suggest that three common factors are present in the time series at the quarterly frequency, which can be interpreted as world, regional and domestic economic cycles. Th...

This paper proposes an integrated TVP-VAR model to investigate the volatility spillover mechanisms among different financial markets as well their respective roles in global transmission system, including China’s carbon market, crude oil, new energy, energy automobile, coal and natural gas markets, which is named market. Utilizing time-varying indices (TVP-DY), we find that there are obvious dy...
