Our principal objective is to implement a conditional CAPM that, in addition the global market risk, specifies level of integration, evaluates exchange rate and accounts for local risk. To investigate potential portfolio diversification foreign investors this region by examining impact financial crises on evolution national markets MENA region's integration with as well three selected developed...

To support the integration of existing programs into multidisciplinary applications, we have constructed the Multidisciplinary Application Runtime System (MARS). MARS supports legacy code integration, heterogeneous execution environments, conditional execution ows, dynamic module invocation and realignment, and dynamic binding of I/O paths. It also provides a simple speci cation language to scr...

We propose a novel integration of compression and sensing in order to enhance performance of the image sensor. By integrating compression function on the sensor plane, the image signal that has to be readout from the sensor is significantly reduced. Thus, the integration can consequently increase the pixel rate of the sensor. The compression scheme we make use of is conditional replenishment th...

Probabilistic DNA sequence models have been intensively applied to genome research. Within the evolutionary biology framework, this article investigates the feasibility for rigorously estimating the probability of a set of orthologous DNA sequences which evolve from a common progenitor. We propose Monte Carlo integration algorithms to sample the unknown ancestral and/or root sequences a posteri...

Many acoustic approaches to prosodic labeling in English have employed only local classifiers, although text-based classification has employed some sequential models. In this paper we employ linear chain and factorial conditional random fields (CRFs) in conjunction with rich, contextually-based prosodic features, to exploit sequential dependencies and to facilitate integration with lexical feat...

In non-additive measure and integration (or fuzzy measure and integral) one tries to generalise the issues of product measure and conditional expectation from the additive theory. In the discrete case successful attempts have been made via the max-min additive representation of the monotone measure and the corresponding integrals. The present paper intends to find, for arbitrary monotone measur...
