Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAre There Smaller Leverage Effects in Less-Developed Markets? Evidence from an Oil Exporting CountryMosayeb Phalavani, Parinaz EzzatiProblem statement: This study uses daily data from the Tehran Stock Market (TSM) to illustrate the nature of stock market volatility in an undeveloped and young stock market. Although most studies suggest that a negative shock to stock prices will generate more volatility than a positive shock of equal magnitude but there is no evidence of asymmetric effect in TSM. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship between Affordances in the Home Environment and Motor Development in Children Age 18-42 MonthsAlireza Haydari, Parviz Askari, Maryam Zarra NezhadProblem statement: Environmental stimulation plays a critical role in optimal human development during the early stages of life and an optimal level (of development) occurs with strong contextual support. It is well accepted among develop mentalists that motor-perceptual-and cognitive development are fundamentally interrelated. This suggests that status of motor development is an important factor in overall child well-being. The objectives … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 9,631 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIndoor Navigation and Localization for Visually impaired people Using Weighted Topological MapMd Jan Nordin, Abbas M. AliProblem Statement: Image base methods are a new approach for solving problems of navigations for visually impaired people. Approach: The study introduced a new approach of an electronic cane for blind people using the environment represented as a weighted topological graph instead, each node contains images taken at some poses in the work space, instead of building a metric (3D) … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 7,423 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Effective Location-Based Power Conservation Scheme for Mobile Ad Hoc NetworksKhalid Kaabneh, Azmi Halasa, Hussein Al-BahadiliProblem statement: One of the major issues in current reactive routing protocols for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) is the high bandwidth and power consumptions during the routing process. In this study, we proposed and evaluated the performance of an efficient Location-Based Power Conservation (LBPC) scheme for MANETs. Approach: In this scheme, the transmitting node utilized the location-information of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 6,839 accessesView PDFCite
