This paper proposes a new feature extraction technique for paper currency recognition. In this technique, the texture characteristic is used in the recognition. The Markov chain concept has been employed to model the texture of paper currencies as a random process. The method proposed in this paper can be used for recognizing paper currencies from different countries. In this method only intact...

This paper implements a reduced form credit default swap (CDS) pricing model. Theoretical prices found are compared with market prices to evaluate the goodness of fit. Theoretical prices and pricing errors are inspected by rating classes, sectors of economic activity and currency denomination of CDS. Pricing errors are analyzed through panel data estimation techniques, to find determinants of p...

BACKGROUND Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid, a new denomination of cicatricial pemphigoid, encompasses a group of chronic subepithelial autoimmune blistering diseases that predominantly affect the oral cavity and the eyes (conjunctivitis and symblepharon). CASE DETAILS A rare case of Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid (MMP) in a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive patient is discussed with clinicoh...

This work aims at exploring different approaches to online learning that can be grouped under the common denomination of passiveaggressive techniques. In particular, we comparatively explore the original passive-aggressive formulation along with a recently proposed leastsquares extension and a new proposal in which aggregate updates corresponding to small groups of labelled examples are conside...

Abstract Little evidence is available for the effect of competition on educational quality as only a few countries allow large-scale competition. In the Netherlands, free parental choice has been present since the beginning of the twentieth century and can be characterized as a full voucher program with 100 % funding. Based on micro panel data for the Netherlands, we show that there is a relati...
