India is much more integrated with the world economy. Both current and capital accounts are complementing to each other. The economic slowdown that appears to have begun in the USA in September, 2008 has some negative impact on Indian economy. The most immediate and adverse effect of this global financial crisis on India is an out flow of Foreign Institutional Investment (FII) from the capital ...

It is widely agreed that the Nasdaq during dot-com era 20 years ago was a full-fledged stock market bubble. Recently, US according to many metrics has become significantly more speculative and overvalued than it at peak ago. In both instances, very broad subset of stocks became so highly valued speculation in them had be untethered from all fundamentals: essence what we call “pure price-chasing...

The Japanese economy changed its features in the 1990’s, compared with the 1980’s. It shifted down to an extremely lowered growth trend. Its continuous depression with economic difficulties has gathered international concern among the advanced countries. Among the major causes for such difficulties were clearly the swell of huge bubbles in speculative trading of shares and real estate in the la...

In this paper we present an interacting-agent model of speculative activity explaining bubbles and crashes in stock markets. We describe stock markets through an infinite-range Ising model to formulate the tendency of traders getting influenced by the investment attitude of other traders. Bubbles and crashes are understood and described qualitatively and quantitatively in terms of the classical...

Digital Image Analysis (DIA) has been employed to characterize the time evolution of a bubble injected from a single orifice into a pseudo 2-dimansional gas-solid fluidized bed. The injected bubble diameter increased with the square root of time before detachment. During bubble free flight in the bed, its diameter remains approximately constant. The center of mass of the bubble increases with t...

Control-flow mispredictions are a profound impediment to processor performance, because each misprediction introduces a pipeline bubble of many cycles’ duration. For example, the minimum bubble in the recently released Alpha 21264 is at least seven cycles, and often as much as twenty cycles. With such long penalties, even small misprediction rates harm performance substantially. Although a huge...

This paper proposes a novel asynchronous design template, Blade, that uses single-rail logic, a reconfigurable delay line, and error detecting latches to reliably detect and recover from timing violations due to process variations and delay faults of single event upsets. The template employs a novel speculative handshaking paradigm that improves average-case performance by taking advantage of t...

The continual and uninterrupted expansion of medical research funding is generally assumed to be a permanent feature of modern societies, but this expectation may turn out to be mistaken. Sciences tend to go through boom and bust phases. Twentieth century physics is an example where huge increases in funding followed an era of scientific breakthroughs. Speculative over-expansion led to diminish...
