It is important to see efficiency of accounting education in order to fully understand the operational environment of companies. In this study, the 45 public universities in Turkey was investigated by using Data Envelopment Analysis [DEA]. In order, some definitions for the outputs and inputs are required for the model. The criteria developed by American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Busine...

Selenoproteins such as glutathione peroxidases (GPx), thioredoxin reductases (TrxR), and selenoprotein P (SePP) contain molecular selenium in form of selenocysteines within their active center. They are involved in the defense of reactive oxygen species, which otherwise may cause DNA damage and alterations of protein function. Selenium intake has been linked to colon carcinogenesis in epidemiol...

El trabajo consistió colección mensual conteo larvas por fruto durante todo año, para ello muestreo tuvo a tres lugares colección, tomando como muestra representativa 5 plantas g...

We extend previous studies on “explaining” a nonnegative integer vector by sums of few homogeneous segments, that is, vectors where all nonzero entries are equal and consecutive. We study two NP-complete variants which are motivated by radiation therapy and database applications. In Vector Positive Explanation, the segments may have only positive integer entries; in Vector Explanation, the segm...

We use a forward characteristic function approach to price variance and volatility swaps and options on swaps. The swaps are defined via contingent claims whose payoffs depend on the terminal level of a discretely monitored version of the quadratic variation of some observable reference process. As such a process we consider a class of Lévy models with stochastic time change. Our analysis revea...

Peptide Optimization is a highly complex problem and it takes very long time of computation. This optimization process uses many software applications in a cluster running GNU/Linux Operating System that perform special tasks. The application to organize the whole optimization process had been already developed, namely SEPP (System for Evolutionary Pareto Optimization of Peptides/Polymers). A s...

A persistent problem with program execution, despite numerous mitigation attempts, is its inherent vulnerability to the injection of malicious code. Equally unsolved is the susceptibility of firmware to reverse engineering, which undermines the manufacturer’s code confidentiality. We propose an approach that solves both kinds of security problems employing instruction-level code encryption comb...

This paper presents new tests of the permanent income hypothesis and other widely used models of household behavior using data from the labor market. We estimate the “excess sensitivity”of job search behavior to cash-on-hand using sharp discontinuities in eligibility for severance pay and extended unemployment insurance (UI) bene…ts in Austria. Analyzing data for over one-half million job loser...
