abstract:this study examines the significant impact of exchange rate shock on prices of malaysian importsand exports. in methodology, the study adopts vector error correction (vecm) model using monthlydata of nominal exchange rates, money supply, prices of imports and prices of exports covering theperiod of m1:1999 to m12:2006. for further analysis, we adopt an innovation accounting bysimulatin...

A rock failure criterion is very important for prediction of the ultimate strength in rock mechanics and geotechnics; it is determined for rock mechanics studies in mining, civil, and oil wellborn drilling operations. Also shales are among the most difficult to treat formations. Therefore, in this research work, using the artificial neural network (ANN), a model was built to predict the ultimat...

We calculate the error threshold for the linear optics quantum computing proposal by Knill, Laflamme and Milburn [Nature 409, pp. 46–52 (2001)] under an error model where photon detectors have efficiency < 100% but all other components – such as single photon sources, beam splitters and phase shifters – are perfect and introduce no errors. We make use of the fact that the error model induced by...

This study aimed to discover the insight of error correction by implementing two correction systems on three Iranian university students. The three students were invited to write four in-class essays throughout the semester, in which their verb errors and individual-selected errors were corrected using the Code Correction System and the Individual Correction System. At the end of the study, the...

Abstract In this study, wavelet support vector machine (WSWM) model is proposed for daily suspended sediment (SS) prediction. The WSVM model is achieved by combination of two methods; discrete wavelet analysis and support vector machine (SVM). The developed model was compared with single SVM. Daily discharge (Q) and SS data from Yadkin River at Yadkin College, NC station in the USA were used. I...

Qudit toric codes are a natural higher-dimensional generalization of the wellstudied qubit toric code. However, standard methods for error correction of the qubit toric code are not applicable to them. Novel decoders are needed. In this paper we introduce two renormalization group decoders for qudit codes and analyse their error correction thresholds and efficiency. The first decoder is a gener...
