Signals with finite time support are frequently used in active sonar and radar processing. In these applications, for efficient computations, it is necessary to have a compact description of the signals’ shape and time evolution. For this purpose, the Hermite series expansions are used in this paper to approximate an arbitrary enveloped linear fr

Asymmetry is a key feature to understand the different behavior of expansions and recessions, and it provides a stylized fact that business cycle models should help to explain. Furthermore, the types of asymmetries provide guidance about underlying economic mechanism. In this paper, we test for three types of asymmetry of business cycle: steepness,

In the title compound, C11H14N2O5, the molecular structure is stabilized by an intramolecular N—H� � �O hydrogen bond, which generates an S(6) ring motif. The nitro group is twisted slightly from the attached benzene ring, forming a dihedral angle of 5.2 (2)�. In the crystal packing, intermolecular O—H� � �O and C—H� � �O

This study examines the changes in the way the information services are delivered to the faculty. One of the delivery methods for the faculty adopted by most academic libraries in Malaysia is putting in place a liaison programme. Generally, online resources have made faculty less reliant on the partnership under the programme for help with teaching

This paper looks at the state of education in digital libraries in Asian countries. Academic programs offered at the post graduate level by the Department of Library and Information Science or other Departments which can be categorized as similar or equivalent to the Department of Library and Information Science were surveyed in all the countries o

The advances in multimedia and communication technology nowadays have provided new ways to store, access and distribute medical data in a digital format. Hence, by identifying best location on the mammogram to embed the patient's information without affecting the quality of the image will be studied. The development of authentication techniques

This study examines the changes in the way the information services are delivered to faculty. One of the delivery methods for faculty adopted by most academic libraries in Malaysia is a liaison programme. In this programme, a reference librarian is appointed as a liaison librarian to one or more teaching departments. Online resources have made facu

The reference function has undergone changes in the variety of services offered and in the service itself. One area of change is in the deployment of the technologies used to meet the demands of users. Remote access by library users is a serious challenge to reference services. They must develop strategies to cope with the demands of the user for r

A laboratory-scale study was carried out to produce lignin peroxidase (ligninase) by white rot fungus (Phanerochaete chrysosporium) using sewage-treatmentplant (STP) sludge as the major substrate. The optimization was done using full-factorial design (FFD) with agitation and aeration as the two parameters. Nine experiments indicated by the FFD were

The objective of this paper is to examine the impact of corporate governance on the risk of banks. A sample of twelve listed bank holding companies is examined over a ten year period (1996-2005). Based on the panel data analysis, separate board leadership structure, higher proportion of independent directors, smaller board size, lower director owne
