The study investigates the association between board independence, directors' ownership, and organisational profitability. To illustrate links, case of listed nonfinancial enterprises on Dhaka Stock Exchange 2015 2019 is examined. effectively manage concern endogeneity, generalized method moments (GMM) used as econometric techniquein this research. reveals that independence has a negative signi...

Abstract We assess the differential impact of geopolitical risk on Islamic and conventional gold backed cryptocurrencies using a multivariate Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (M-GARCH) modeling. unveil that gold-backed behave differently from their counterparts. Sharia compliant are positively correlated to yellow metal, while ones weakly negatively associated gold. fin...

Data visualization environments help users understand and analyze their data by permitting interactive browsing of graphical representations of the data. To further facilitate understanding and analysis, many visualization environments have special features known as portals, which are sub-windows of a data canvas. Portals provide a way to display multiple graphical representations simultaneousl...

Our previous work introduced a methodology for synthesizing and analyzing basic behaviors which served as a substrate for generating a large repertoire of higher{level group interactions (Matari c 1992, Matari c 1993). In this paper we describe how, given the substrate, agents can learn to behave socially, i.e. to maximize average individual by maximizing collective beneet. While this is a well...

It also requires examination of various processor and architecture design decisions. SMT processors may exhibit different cache, branch-prediction, and utilization patterns than conventional processors [10, 9]. While studies of several of these factors have been undertaken, there are many more variables to be examined; each component found on a conventional chip may behave differently when seve...

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), major targets of drug discovery, are organized in dimeric and/or oligomeric clusters. The minimal oligomeric unit, the dimer, is composed of two protomers, which can behave differently within the dimer. Several examples of GPCR asymmetry within dimers at the level of ligand binding, ligandpromoted conformational changes, conformational changes within transme...

In this study, two methods are proposed to modify the normalized covariance metric (NCM) measure to reduce the effects of gain-induced nonlinear distortions introduced by most noise-suppression algorithms. Considering that the gain-induced distortions behave differently dependent on the signal-to-noise ratio between the noise-reduced speech and the noise, the first approach introduces a penalty...
