Silicon-based photonic components are especially attractive for realizing low-cost photonic integrated circuits (PICs) using high-volume manufacturing processes (Heck et al., 2013). Due to its transparency in the telecommunications wavelength bands near 1310 and 1550 nm, silicon is an excellent material for realizing low-loss passive optical components. For the same reason, it is not a strong c...

The identification of temporal protein complexes would make great contribution to our knowledge of the dynamic organization characteristics in protein interaction networks (PINs). Recent studies have focused on integrating gene expression data into static PIN to construct dynamic PIN which reveals the dynamic evolutionary procedure of protein interactions, but they fail in practice for recogniz...

" Cluster PIN: A new estimation method for the probability of informed trading " Abstract We present a new method for estimating the probability of informed trading (PIN). This method, called Cluster PIN (CPIN), is based on cluster analysis used in machine learning. CPIN does not require maximum likelihood estimation and thus avoids the computational issues that have been associated with some p...

Organic thin film photoconductors (OTFPs) are expected to have wide applications in the field of optical communications, artificial vision and biomedical sensing due to their great advantages of high flexibility and low-cost large-area fabrication. However, their performances are not satisfactory at present: the value of responsivity (R), the parameter that measures the sensitivity of a photoco...

In this paper, we present a system towards Indian postal automation based on pin-code and city name recognition. Here, at first, using Run Length Smoothing Approach (RLSA), non-text blocks (postal stamp, postal seal, etc.) are detected and using positional information Destination Address Block (DAB) is identified from postal documents. Next, lines and words of the DAB are segmented. In India, t...

Developing economic relations with the countries of the world is necessary for any country, and the nations of the world are always looking to build their business. The expansion of the phenomenon of economic globalization has led states to engage in countries' engagement in pursuing their interests in the form of regional cooperation and the formation of monetary :union:s. Therefore, according...

according to the literature, economic liberalization is an important factor affecting the intra industry trade (iit). present paper is trying to examine the positive effect of economic liberalization on iran’s iit as well as to review the effectiveness of important components of economic liberalization including privatization, trade liberalization, exchange rate liberalization and financial lib...

We study the possibility of trade for purely informational reasons. We depart from previous analyses (notably Grossman and Stiglitz 1980 and Milgrom and Stokey 1982) by allowing the final payoff of the asset being traded to depend on an action taken by its eventual owner. A leading example is the trade of a controlling stake in a corporation. We characterize conditions under which equilibria wi...

We study the possibility of trade for purely informational reasons. We depart from previous analyses (e.g. Grossman and Stiglitz (1980) [22] and Milgrom and Stokey (1982) [32]) by allowing the final payoff of the asset being traded to depend on an action taken by its eventual owner. We characterize conditions under which equilibria with trade exist. © 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. JEL...
