Hence the model explains changes in asset prices in terms of'fundamentals', i.e. changes in expected future payoffs (̂ (+<) or discount rates {8). Most tests ofthe model have used data for stocks, where the payoffs are dividends, or bonds, where the payoffs are interest and principal payments. These tests have had mixed outcomes, due in part to statistical and data problems.^ This paper explores...

This paper presents an approach to forecast future locations of human hands and objects. Given an image frame, the goal is to predict presence and location of hands and objects in the future frame (e.g., 5 seconds later), even when they are not visible in the current frame. The key idea is that (1) an intermediate representation of a convolutional object recognition model abstracts scene inform...

â  performance and capacity of sulfur recovery unit (sru) are greatly affected by the h2s:co2 ratio of the acid gas stream. the acid gases in iran contain around 35 mol% h2s and 60 mol% co2. this low concentration of h2s calls for more complex sulfur plant, larger equipments, and higher costs. acid gas enrichment processes (age) is run to upgrade low quality acid gas collected from gas treating...

[1] The currently available theoretical and observational evidence for a latitudinal structure of thermocline vertical diffusivity is synthesized and included in a state of the art coupled climate model. Compared to the standard background value of 0.1 cm s , the simulations with the latitudinal structure show only little change in the meridional overturning circulation or northward heat transp...

An embedding attack based on constraint Lenvenshtein distance was proposed by Golić and Mihaljević to analyze a statistical model of a key stream generator which contains an additive noise of probability p, where any value of p < 1/2 is possible. This attack is significant only if the embedding error caused by the noise is less than that caused by an incorrect candidate initial state. We show t...

study area is located in the central kopehdagh north of bojnurd and shirvan cities, between kakli and raz villages. aim of this research is separating high activity area from low activity. in this study, in order to evaluate rate of tectonic activity, stream length-gradient index (sl), ratio of valley floor width to valley height (vf), transverse topographic system (t), hypsometric integral (hi...
