In cointegrating regressions, available estimators and test statistics are nuisance parameter dependent. This paper addresses this problem as an identi…cation failure. We focus on set estimation of long-run coe¢ cients (denoted ). We check whether and to what degree popular estimation methods, speci…cally the Maximum Likelihood of Johansen (1995), Fully Modi…ed OLS [Phillips and Hansen (1990); ...

Pathway- or disease-associated genes may participate in more than one transcriptional co-regulation network. Such gene groups can be readily obtained by literature analysis or by high-throughput techniques such as microarrays or protein-interaction mapping. We developed a strategy that defines regulatory networks by in silico promoter analysis, finding potentially co-regulated subgroups without...

Purpose This paper seeks to provide empirical insight into how industrialization and technology affect environmental quality in Ghana. Design/methodology/approach Using Ecological Footprint (ECF) as a measure of degradation, the authors employ annual data from World Development Indicators Bank Global Network spanning 1970 2017 apply fully modified least squares (FMOLS) technique. Findings The r...

The current study aims to explore the role of environmental taxes and regulations for renewable energy consumption, focusing on reporting policy suggestions overcome climate change issues achieve sustainability. main objective this paper is examine relation between energy, taxes, technologies, in 29 OECD countries during 1996–2018. More precisely, we inspect impact technologies consumption. aut...

The current paper assesses the drivers of health care expenditure such as urbanization, natural resources, economic expansion, and CO 2 utilizing quarterly data from 2000Q1 to 2018Q4. research applied novel dual adjustment approach identify long run association between healthcare growth, resource emissions. main novelty is that offers another way cointegration analysis by relaxing implicit assu...

Purpose The present study aimed to examine the relationship between information and communication technologies (ICT) diffusion, financial development economic growth in panel of developing countries for 2005–2019. Design/methodology/approach employed principal component analysis (PCA) extract index ICT diffusion. First-generation unit root tests such as Levine Lin Chu (LLC), Im Pesaran Shin (IP...

An “ideal” upper limb prosthesis should be perceived as part of the natural body by the amputee and should replicate sensory-motor capabilities of the amputated limb. However, such an ideal “cybernetic” prosthesis is still far from reality: current prosthetic hands are simple grippers with one or two degrees of freedom, which barely restore the capability of the thumb-index pinch. This paper de...

This paper proposes, a hybrid approach employing texture and colour feature is investigated. A modified approach for performing texture based feature extraction by gray level co-occurrence matrix and colour based feature extraction by colour cooccurrence vector. The Euclidean distance classifier is used for finding the similarity measures between the query image and the database image. In our p...
