In particular, findings show that ...

We show that in the worst case, Q(nd) sidedness queries are required to determine whether a set of n points in Rd is affinely degenerate, i .e . , whether it contains d + 1 points on a common hyperplane. This matches known upper bounds. We give a straightforward adversary argument, based on the explicit construction of a point set containing Q(nd) “collapsible” simplices, any one of which can b...

The present corpus-driven study addresses the current situation of translation criticisms published in print or online in the Iranian media. A sample of 17 criticisms (roughly 68,000 words altogether) from a variety of valid media outlets was compiled. Having been categorized into those with, and those without an ex- plicit theoretical framework, the criticisms were examined on two levels...

No-arbitrage macro-finance models use variance decompositions to gauge the extent of association between the macro variables and yields. We show that results generated by this approach are sensitive to the order of variables in the recursive identification scheme. In a four-factor model, one may obtain 18 different sets of answers out of 24 possible. We propose an alternative measure that is ba...

background during the last three decades, the total fertility rate (tfr) in iran has fallen considerably; from 6.5 per woman in 1983 to 1.89 in 2010. this paper analyzes the extent to which economic determinants at the micro and macro levels are associated with the number of children in iranian households.   methods household data from the 2010 household expenditure and income survey (heis) is ...
