systemic risk is the risk of collapse in the financial system. due to the financial crisis that hit the world economy in 2008, the study of systemic risk in the banking sector became more attractive for researchers. in this research we study systemic risk in the iranian banking sector by using a famous systemic risk measure, the ∆covar. to compute the measure, we employ dynamic conditional corr...

Ezetimibe is a cholesterol uptake inhibitor that targets the Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 cholesterol transporter. Ezetimibe treatment has been shown to cause significant decreases in plasma cholesterol levels in patients with hypercholesterolemia and familial hypercholesterolemia. A recent study in humans has shown that ezetimibe can decrease the release of atherogenic postprandial intestinal lipopr...

The performance of FFC-NMR power supplies is evaluated not only considering the technique requirements but also comparing efficiencies and consumption. Since characteristics depend on circuit topology control solutions, design a core aspect for development new FFC systems. A hybrid solution described that allows controlling semiconductors by switches (ON/OFF mode) or as linear device. approach ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the value of extensive transurethral resection (TUR) in the diagnosis and treatment of nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and its further impact on the recurrence rate at the first follow-up cystoscopy (RR-FFC). PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective review of consecutive series of 523 patients with NMIBCs who underwent TUR from June 2009 to July 2015 at the Second ...

present paper intends to measure the determinants of performance of indian financial sector. the performance variables of banking sector and microfinance institutions in india are studied over a study period of six years i.e. 2006-07 to 2011-12. the financial sector of india is gaining strength over the years and its contribution to growth is overwhelming. banks are considered the main componen...

The ability to quantify in vivo femoro-tibial relations in the knee holds great advantage to further patient care. There is little consensus on the optimal weight-bearing environment and measurement method for MRI assessment of in vivo knee kinematics. This study set out to establish the optimal method of measuring femoro-tibial relations in an upright, weight-bearing environment in normal indi...

Abstract This study examines the associations between top management’s interactive and diagnostic use of financial non-financial performance measures with individual manager’s (i.e. middle lower level managers) creativity, mediating role perceived fairness their appraisal on such associations. Using data from a survey 220 managers manufacturing organisations in Australia, structural equation mo...

In this paper, a grid connected microgrid with multiple inverter-based distributed generators (DGs) is considered. DG in FFC mode regulates the microgrid as a controllable load from the utility point of view as long as its output is within the capacity limit. The transition mode causes a change in frequency of microgrid due to the loss of power transferred between main grid and microgrid. Frequ...

This randomized, controlled trial assessed the effectiveness of comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) and subsequent intervention in pre-frail and frail community-dwelling elderly based on the Fried Frailty Criteria (FFC) and the Barthel Index (BI) A total of 310 pre-frail or frail elderly from a single community were identified using the FFC. Of these, 152 were randomly assigned to the inte...

We consider the optimal design of pilot-symbolassisted modulation (PSAM) in time-varying flat-fading channels (FFC). The FFC is modeled as an autoregressive Gauss-Markov random process, whose realization is unknown at the transmitter or at the receiver. Our measure of optimality for channel estimation is the rate of information transfer through the channel. The parameters that are available for...
