We consider semiparametric log periodogram regression estimation of memory parameter for the latent process in long memory stochastic volatility models. It is known that though widely used among researchers, the Geweke and Porter-Hudak (1983; GPH) LP estimator violates the Gaussian or Martingale assumption, which results in significant negative bias due to the existence of the spectrum of non-G...

We describe PARADISE (PARAllel DIstribution Simulator for Eden) a simulator developed to proole the execution of programs written in the parallel functional programming language Eden BLOMP96], BLOMP97]. Eden extends the lazy functional language Haskell by syntactic constructs to explicitly deene processes. Paradise is a substantial modiication of GranSim HLP94], Loi96], Loi98], a tool to study ...

We propose a new semiparametric estimator of the degree of persistence in volatility for long memory stochastic volatility (LMSV) models. The estimator uses the periodogram of the log squared returns in a local Whittle criterion which explicitly accounts for the noise term in the LMSV model. Finite-sample and asymptotic standard errors for the estimator are provided. An extensive simulation stu...

This article reviews the progress made in the field of glycoprotein hormones (GPH) and their receptors (GPHR) by several groups of structural biologists including ourselves aiming to gain insight into GPH signaling mechanisms. The GPH family consists of four members, with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) being the prototypic member. GPH members belong to the cystine-knot growth factor superfa...

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common conditions experienced by aging males and a frequent cause bladder outlet obstruction macroscopic haematuria. “Giant hyperplasia” (GPH) term that describes rare cases extremely enlarged prostate glands, weighing up to 500g. Typically, patients with GPH have severe symptoms seek medical care treat their voiding complaints. an uncommon ...

Bioactive peptides have been broadly studied for their contribution to human health. This study aimed identify bioactive generated by in vitro gastrointestinal digestion of yam proteins. Yam protein concentrate (YPC) was submitted simulated digestion. Gastric phase hydrolysate (GPH) and total (GIPH) had identified nanoLC-ESI-MS/MS. Peptide sequences were subjected a database-driven (BIOPEP) bio...

Abstract Background Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) serves as a direct measure individuals’ health, expectancy and the impact that utilization health care has on life. The purpose this study is to assess HRQoL people living with HIV (PLHIV), ascertain its association social inequalities clinical determinants among in Benishangul Gumuz Regional State, Ethiopia. Methods A cross-sectional w...

In fact, civil society has a huge chance to have an impact on each of these goals as conflict transformation agent. Including Muhammadiyah, organization that works resolve the between Philippine government and MILF by acting locomotive for peace This study seeks provide light Muhammadiyah's role in bringing about Mindanao. utilizing qualitative techniques, including in-depth interviews, on-the-...

We consider the model checking problem for FLC, a modal fixpoint logic capable of defining non-regular properties. This paper presents a refinement of a symbolic model checker and discusses how to parallelise this algorithm. It reports on a prototype implementation of the algorithm in Glasgow Parallel Haskell (GpH) and its performance on a cluster of workstations.
