Money demand determinants vary in every economy. There are many studies about Iran money demand function, which employed different variables and estimation methods. In this study, broad money (M2) is dependent variable and GDP, interest rate, exchange rate and household religious costs are descriptive variables. Household religious costs (urban and rural) are included in Iran money demand funct...

the aim of this study was to determine the optimal cutting cycle in an uneven-aged beech forest in the north of iran. first of all, a logistic growth model was determined for an uneven aged forest. then, the stumpage price was predicted via an autoregressive model. the average stumpage price of beech was derived from actual timber, round wood, fire and pulpwood prices at road side minus the var...

this study presents a detailed analysis of cost management for intensive cultivation activity in terms of tomato production. the main objective was to provide qualitative and quantitative costs obtained in the intensive cultivation of tomato. this methodology was structured by activity costs (soil preparation and planting, crop monitoring, harvesting, selling, etc.) through a study in greenhous...

  Background: It has been suggested, although not proven, that presence of concomitant psychiatric disorders may increase the inpatient costs for patients undergoing elective surgery. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that elective lumbar fusion surgery is more costly in patients with under treatment for depression. Methods: This is a retrospective case-control study of 142 patient...

Today’s, a common problem in cities is increasing delay and reducing the speed of traffic. On the other wise increasing costs of acquisition in urban area are not allow new routes and highways. Also construction of new highway or street such as Imam Ali highway and Sadr highway in Tehran lead to develop new applications (such as BRT lane ,…) And become quickly saturate and less eff...

Industry analysts have indicated that there is a trend toward more value-added production in the Canadian forest industry. This suggests that the value of output has increased relative to the primary resource costs of production, leaving increased returns available for other production costs. If, however, these other costs out-pace value-added growth, the industry may be in jeopardy as profit l...

We study the multi-armed bandit problems with budget constraint and variable costs (MAB-BV). In this setting, pulling an arm will receive a random reward together with a random cost, and the objective of an algorithm is to pull a sequence of arms in order to maximize the expected total reward with the costs of pulling those arms complying with a budget constraint. This new setting models many I...

One of the hallmarks of the human species is our capacity for cumulative culture, in which beneficial knowledge and technology is accumulated over successive generations. Yet previous analyses of cumulative cultural change have failed to consider the possibility that as cultural complexity accumulates, it becomes increasingly costly for each new generation to acquire from the previous generatio...
