Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImpact of Information Asymmetry on Municipal Bond Yields: An Empirical AnalysisKenneth Daniels, Demissew Diro EjaraProblem statement: There is a significant difference between the interest rates on the GO and the RV municipal bonds. We sought explanation for this difference in differences in information asymmetry between the two types of municipal bonds. GO bonds finance general municipality expenditures and repayment is from general tax revenues. RV bonds finance special projects and repayment is from cash … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,033 accessesView PDFCite

Approach: Inflation uncertainty is the major cost of high inflation that can influence the decision making of economic agents. Results: This study constructed a time series of seasonally inflation uncertainty in Iran from 1959-2009 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,679 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Bacterial Chromosomal Sequence and Related IssuesThi Huyen Phan, Duc Luong NguyenThere has been a rapid increasing in the number of bacterial genomes that are completely sequenced recently. However, nucleotide arrangement in bacterial chromosome is still not clear, though it is known that the chromosomal strand is symmetric as a whole but asymmetric locally. The unequal distribution of adenine and thymine as well as cytosine and guanine in the local genomic … …Current Research in Virology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 29 Jul 2013 · 13,208 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Bipolar Cockcroft-Walton Voltage Multiplier for Gas LasersShahid Iqbal, Rosli BesarA bipolar Cockcroft-Walton voltage multiplier (CWVM) is proposed as an attractive alternative to the symmetrical Cockcroft-Walton voltage multiplier for continuous wave gas lasers (e.g. carbon dioxide gas laser). The proposed CWVM formed by combining positive and negative voltage multipliers consisting of equal number of stages and driving in parallel by an ac voltage source. The proposed voltage multiplier needs only … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 8,270 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOpportunistic Behavior as Behavior ManipulationsElena Yakovleva, Natalia Grigoryeva, Olga GrigoryevaThe study of opportunistic behavior in relation with manipulation techniques is important because it directly affects the efficiency of agent's relationship. We identified two forms of opportunistic behavior that depend on the subject composition of the contractual relationship. In the article we attempt to identify significant techniques of manipulation of information. It is important to understand real nature of opportunism … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 9 · 27 Sep 2016 · 7,995 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Dependence of Opportunistic Behavior from Economic GrowthNatalia Grigoryeva, Olga GrigoryevaThe study of opportunistic behavior is important because it directly affects the efficiency of economic systems. We conducted qualitative and correlation analysis. The dependence between the manifestations of opportunistic behavior and economic growth was proved. In the article we attempt to identify significant correlation between the rate of economic growth and opportunistic behavior. The study proved the high importance, because … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 26 May 2015 · 7,038 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsModeling and Forecasting Volatility of the Malaysian Stock MarketsAhmed Shamiri, Zaidi IsaProblem statement: One of the main purposes of modeling variance is forecasting, which is crucial in many areas of finance. Despite the burgeoning interest in and evaluation of volatility forecasts, a clear consensus on witch volatility model/or distribution specification to use has not yet been reached. Therefore, the out of-sample forecasting ability should be a natural model selection criterion for … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,900 accessesView PDFCite

However, fundamental biological studies, particularly on its phenological and cytogenetic characteristics, remain limited. This study aimed to characterize the vegetative morphology and karyotypic features of P. fel-terrae from Dairi Regency, North Sumatra, to provide a comprehensive cytogenetic database for future study and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 17 Jul 2026 · 745 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasure of Departure from Conditional Partial Symmetry for Square Contingency TablesYusuke Saigusa, Nobuki Fukumoto, Tomoyuki Nakagawa, Sadao TomizawaFor square contingency tables, asymmetry of conditional probability in part of the off-diagonal cells isconsidered with respect to the main diagonal. A measure is proposed torepresent the degree of departure from the symmetric structure and gives theapproximate confidence interval. Some numerical experiments are performed toillustrate the validity and usefulness of the proposed measure. Japaneseoccupational data are analyzed using the measure. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 4 Oct 2022 · 5,561 accessesView PDFCite
