This paper outlines a bootstrapping approach to the estimation and analysis of macroeconometric models. It integrates for dynamic, nonlinear, simultaneous equation models the bootstrapping approach to evaluating estimators initiated by Efron (1979) and the stochastic simulation approach to evaluating models’ properties initiated by Adelman and Adelman (1959). It also estimates for a particular ...

the interactive effects of adjacent buildings on their seismic performance are not frequently considered in seismic design. the adjacent buildings, however, are interrelated through the soil during seismic ground motions. the seismic energy is redistributed in the neighboring buildings through multiple structure-soil-structure interactions (sssi). for example, in an area congested with many nea...

We consider the lepton-flavor violating(LFV) processes li → ljγ in the framework of topcolor assisted technicolor(TC2) models. We find that the new gauge boson Z ′ predicted by TC2 models can give significantly contributions to these processes via the flavor changing couplings. The present experimental bound on the LFV process μ → eγ gives severe constraints on the TC2 models. In the case that ...

Introduction: Students observe role models and learn from themin a variety of educational settings. Although it is known thatrole models impact the professional and character developmentof students, some clinical teachers are poor role models. Weconducted a review to summarize the evidence that could helpclinical teachers promote their role modeling.Methods: ...

A GREAT DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY exists regarding the effectiveness of safety incentive programs in construction. Most research on incentives involves case studies and theoretical analyses of their advantages and disadvantages. Using primary survey data from construction firms and craftworkers, this article examines the impact of incentives on the safety performance of U.S. construction firms. The s...

post failure analysis of massive structure infers that soil-structure interaction (ssi) is a crucial phenomena influencing seismic response of massive structures. cable-stayed bridge’s popularity and numbers are increasing now-a-days because of economical longer span & aesthetic good look. the current paper examines the effect of depth of foundation on seismic response of cable-stayed bridg...
