with considering a ‘triangle of three major currency pairs’, there is a tiny difference between multiplication of exchange rate for the first two currency pairs and the third. to discover whether this little difference can lead to a neutral arbitrage or not, i took portfolios of 35 baskets of three major currency pairs(combinations of all 7 major currencies). there are eight approaches (differe...

We study the differences in behavior of males and females in a two-player tournament with sabotage in a controlled lab experiment. Implementing a real-effort design and a principal who is paid based on the agent’s output, we find that males and females do not differ in their achievements in the real effort task but in their choice of sabotage. Males select significantly more sabotage leading to...

The peptide repertoire that is presented by the set of HLA class I molecules of an individual is formed by the different players of the antigen processing pathway and the stringent binding environment of the HLA class I molecules. Peptide elution studies have shown that only a subset of the human proteome is sampled by the antigen processing machinery and represented on the cell surface. In our...

Person re-identification (ReID) problem has lately received increasing attention especially due to its important role in surveillance systems, which should be able to keep track of people after they have left the field of view of one camera and entered the field of view of any overlapping or non-overlapping camera. ReID accuracy can be significantly improved given a training set that demonstrat...

the aim of this study is to introduce a parametric mixture model to analysis the competing-risks data with two types of failure. in mixture context, i t h type of failure is i th component. the baseline failure time for the first and second types of failure are modeled as proportional hazard models according to weibull and gompertz distributions, respectively. the covariates affect on both the ...

spinoza’s theory of mind posits identity of mind and body in opposition to the cartesian dualistic tradition. these dualistic and monistic views of the mind and body have caused many reactions in the contemporary philosophy. feminists have objected to the dualisms which were resulted from cartesian tradition and criticized them. in doing so, they have found spinoza’s philosophy as a resolution ...

In a recent paper, Henry Harpending and I (Rogers and Harpending 1992) interpret variation in human mitochondrial DNA by using a model by Li ( 1977 ) . The model is unrealistic in several respects, one of which is its use of the “infinite sites” model (Kimura 1969 ) of molecular evolution. This model assumes that no nucleotide (or restriction) site mutates more than once, an assumption that is ...
