the main purpose of this paper is to present methods and recent development in the literature of intra industry trade (iit) measuring. the case study also is carried out for iranian manufacturing industries during time period 1997-2003. for this, iran's foreign trade data was collected, processed, and then used to estimate iit indices with respect to recent literature developments in iit m...

information asymmetry is a negative event that gives manager incentives to use his private information to attempt transferring wealth from investors by overstating financial performance and consequently, stock prices during his tenure at the firm. the manipulations generate agency costs. conservative reporting is a mechanism that reduces the managers’ ability to manipulate and overstate financi...

We consider a complete Riemannian manifold, which consists of compact interior and one or more $\varphi$-cusps: infinitely long ends type that includes cylindrical hyperbolic cusps. Here $\varphi$ is function the radial coordinate describes shape such an end. Given action by Lie group on we obtain equivariant index theorem for Dirac operators, under conditions $\varphi$. These hold in cases In ...

The asymmetry in heart rate variability is a visibly obvious phenomenon in the Poincaré plot of normal sinus rhythm. It shows the unevenness in the distribution of points above and below the line of identity, which indicates instantaneous changes in the beat to beat heart rate. The major limitation of the existing asymmetry definition is that it considers only the instantaneous changes in the b...

The aim of the study was to assess the instantaneous spectral components of heart rate variability (HRV) and systolic blood pressure variability (SBPV) and determine the low-frequency (LF) and high-frequency baroreflex sensitivity (HF-BRS) during a graded maximal exercise test. The first hypothesis was that the hyperpnea elicited by heavy exercise could entail a significant increase in HF-SBPV ...

This paper evaluates the effects of bandwidth asymmetry introduced in a geostationary DVB-RCS satellite architecture on the Round Trip Time of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). In particular, it shows the analytical analysis of the round trip time (RTT) of a TCP connection and defines a bandwidth asymmetry index, which is the key point of the work. The final goal is the provision of anal...
