An econometric exercise shows that financial determinants have a stronger impact on recorded credit and debt periods for larger firms, able to use trade credit to ...

‎Rough extreme learning machines (RELMs) are rough-neural networks with one hidden layer where the parameters between the inputs and hidden neurons are arbitrarily chosen and never updated‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we propose RELMs with a stable online learning algorithm for the identification of continuous-time nonlinear systems in the presence of noises and uncertainties‎, ‎and we prove the global ...

The drop jump (DJ) is commonly utilised to assess athletes. criterion two force platform (2FP) method of assessing DJ performance involves adjacent platforms, one for the box and athlete rebound from. Most researchers practitioners only have access (1FP) they rarely account often considerable discrepancy between height (DH). Therefore, this study aimed determine validity evaluating with 1FP. Tw...
