The study is an empirical test of the effects of different categories of government expenditure, revenue and deficits on economic growth in developing countries. It is based on panel data of annual series over the last three decades for 103 countries, which are further classified into low-income, high-income, mineral exports dependent, and foreign aid dependent groups. Our findings suggest that...

the present study surveys the effect of bank-specific, industry-specific and macroeconomic conditions on bank performance to examine the structure-conduct-performance (scp) hypothesis in iranian banking industry. to achieve this goal, we drew upon the panel data technique to analyze the data of eleven public and private iranian banks during 2001-2006. firstly, productivity was calculated by usi...

Solar-cell panels use sunlight as a source of energy to generate electricity. However, the performances solar decline when they degrade, owing defects. Some common defects in solar-cell include hot spots, cracking, and dust. Hence, it is important efficiently detect repair them. In this study, we propose lightweight inception residual convolutional network (LIRNet) panels. LIRNet neural model t...

BACKGROUND Detection of lung cancer at an early stage by sensitive screening tests could be an important strategy to improving prognosis. Our objective was to identify a panel of circulating microRNAs in plasma that will contribute to early detection of lung cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS Plasma samples from 100 early stage (I to IIIA) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and 100 non-can...

This paper evaluates the impact of the positive terms of trade (TOT) Shock on macroeconomic variables, using panel data for the six OPEC major oil exporting countries during 1989-2005. The findings indicate that the positive TOT shocks have the small and negative impact on savings and on the trade balance. Nevertheless, it has a positive impact on investment (specifically private investment) an...

This paper reexamines the issue of long-run PPP using multiple panel tests in the framework of confirmatory analysis. Application of six panel tests under competing null hypotheses to the real exchange rates of 21 industrial countries yields seemingly contradictory evidence on the parity during the post-Bretton Woods period. Regardless of numeraire currency, four I(1) panel tests unanimously re...

Despite recent advances in molecular profiling of colorectal cancer (CRC), as of yet this has not translated into an unbiased molecular liquid biopsy profile which can accurately screen for early CRC. In this study we depict the profile of early stage CRC as well as for advanced adenomas (AA) by combination of current molecular knowledge with microarray technology, using efficient circulating f...
