One is the LSCE approach which is the time domain counterpart of the LSCF estimator (Brown, D.L. & R.J. Allemang, R. Zimmerman & M. Mergeay: Parameter estimation techniques for modal analysis, SAE Paper, No. 790221, 1979).. This is two-stage method consisting of estimation of the correlation function in time domain following by…

1.1 anatomy of the cornea 1.1.1 Anatomy of the Cornea The cornea is important visual part of the eye, it’s a thin dome-shaped oval from the front and circular from behind and covers the front part of the eye which include iris, pupil and anterior chamber. It forms anterior 1\6 of the outer coat of the globe.[1] The sclera and the conjunctiva overlap the cornea more vertically than horizontally. Together with the lens, the cornea refract light, and it is approximately 43 diopters of the total…

It is hard to imagine what it is like to live with next to nothing until you sit down and pull it apart piece by piece. I spent countless hours making a budget, and then rewriting the budget, until I finally got to the point where I could make a family of four successfully live off of a yearly income of $24,251. I visited websites I never thought I’d visit and budgeted things I unconsciously assumed everyone already had. The experience was both stressful and rewarding all in one. In the end, it…

In the article “CEO Narcissism and the Takeover Process”, the authors noticed that the narcissism could explain the CEOs’ reactions on the takeover process better. Since narcissism is a complete personality trait that could describe the CEOs cognitive skills and behavior better. And the characteristics of narcissists, manipulative and lacking in empathy, could affect the merger negotiations (Nihat Aktas, Eric de Bodt, Helen Bollaert, Richard Roll, 2012). The authors first examined the…

Primarily the manager has to interpret the policy of TQM and then show his/her belief and dedication through his daily practice. It is paramount for management to assure that his/her philosophy values, strategies…

Introduction. Serial correlation can be defined as a relationship between elements within a time series. It can affect the variance of our estimators, and cause us to incorrectly estimate our true mean, Y ̅. To properly study and analyze a covariance stationary time series, we need to know something about the correlation/covariance structure. Several methods exist for dealing with serial correlation. Here, we will deal exclusively with batch means, replication/deletion, and the Mean Squared…

Eyewitness identification relies upon the eyewitness memory and the ability for him or her to retain that information and reporting it straight to the police. Memory is considered as evidence because information is being gathered and encoded in memory. Over time the storage holds in the encoded information in the brain until retrieval occurs so the brain can have access to the information. Although memory is not accurate, errors can occur throughout the process of encoding, storage, or retrieval…

INTRODUCTION Both alcohol use and depressive symptoms are prevalent in adolescents and young adults (1–3). Additionally, several studies report the co-occurrence of alcohol use and depressive symptoms (4–6). For example, of young depressive adolescents under grade 10, 39% female vs. 14.8% male have ever used alcohol (7). Given co-occurrence of underage alcohol use and early depressive symptoms, disentangling the sequence of alcohol initiation (AI) and depressive symptom onset (DSO) will provide…

reduces the ability of the host economy to take advantage of the potential spillover effects of FDI. This suggests an inevitable roles institutions or intermediaries play to lure foreign capital flows and for that matter economic growth as Shaw (1973) recognized the importance of institutions in enhancing capital accumulation and economic growth. Taking cues from Alfaro, et al (2004) and Shaw’s (1973) emphasis on the role of institutions in the growth literature, the general assertion remains…

My motivation to study machine perception is my long-term passion for mathematics, programming, and the human brain. Before knowing much about machine perception, my main motivation was to participate and securing the first prize in Bangladesh Mathematical Olympiad for three times. Following this achievement, I graduated in Electrical Engineering taking major classes on theoretical signal processing and accomplishing a bachelor thesis on the modeling of brain hemodynamics. This made me…
