The causes of the Great Recession (beginning in 2008) and the solutions to prevent a recurrence have been argued over endlessly. The government has responded with various actions: e.g., the Dodd-Frank Act (2010); stronger oversight of the activities of commercial and investment b...

Presented is an analytic microeconomic model of the temporal price dispersion of homogeneous goods in polypoly markets. This new approach is based on the idea that the price dispersion has its origin in the dynamics of the purchase process. The price dispersion is determined by t...

Aims: Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by motor "parkinsonian" symptoms and non-motor symptoms related to autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction. The latter can be quantified with the analysis of Heart Ra...
A stratigraphic interpretation was carried out on the processed single-channel data. Four major sequence boundaries were interpreted; two are sub-horizontal erosional surfaces while the other two show permanent onlap. Four major sedimentary units were interpreted on the single-ch...

Motivated by the result of Fibonacci numbers for which the ratio of successive terms tends to a limit, which is commonly known as the Golden Ratio, we prove an immediate generalization for a wider class of recurrence sequences. We note that such limiting behavior for ratio of suc...

The aim of this paper is to show the recurrence method for obtaining the number of inversions In(k) in input sets with different sizes n, when the information about In-1(k) is given. The proposed method is based on a simple observation that the use of recursive approach gives an...

In this paper, we de_ne the band matrix T = (tnk) by where tn > 0 for all n ∈ N and (tn) ∈ c\c0. By using the matrix T, we introduce the sequence space `p(T) for 1 ≤ p≤ ∞. Also, we give some inclusion theorems related to this space and find the ∝-, B-, γ- duals of the space...
