Banking and Stock Markets in Iran: Are They Complements or Substitutes

In this study, the quarterly data from 1991:4 to 2011:3 have been used to investigate the effect of the relation between banking sector and stock market on economic growth in Iran. The break point obtained by Gregory and Hansen (1996) appears in the first quarter of 2005, which coincides with the period of the remarkable increase in oil and gas revenues. The results of Johansen test shows that higher export income in Iran decreases the substitution of banking and stock market. On the other hand, the relation between turnover and real output decreases after the break point. In addition, the relation between real output and the volatility is negative which reveals that the stock market volatility is a destructive factor for the economic growth. After the break point, considering bonds in the model does not change the results. However, it is a complementary relation between banking sectors and stock markets before the break point.
Plastic number and possible optimal solutions for an Euclidean 2-matching in one dimension

In this work we consider the problem of finding the minimum-weight loop cover of an undirected graph. This combinatorial optimization problem is called 2-matching and can be seen as a relaxation of the traveling salesman problem since one does not have a unique loop condition. We consider this problem both on the complete bipartite and complete graph embedded in a one dimensional (1D) interval, the weights are chosen as a convex function of the Euclidean distance between each couple of points. Randomness is introduced throwing the points in space independently and uniformly. We derive the average optimal cost in the limit of a large number of points. We prove that the possible solutions are characterized by the presence of ‘shoelace’ loops containing two or three points of each type in the complete bipartite case, and three, four or five points in the complete one. This gives rise to an exponential number of possible solutions scaling as , where is the plastic constant. This is at variance to what happens in the previously studied 1D models, such as the matching and the traveling salesman problem, where for every instance of the disorder there is only one possible solution.
Should trastuzumab be administered concomitantly with anthracycline in women with early, HER2-positive breast cancer?

Clinical targeting of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) has dramatically improved the outlook of a subset of about 15% of breast cancers carrying HER2 gene amplification and/ or HER2 protein overexpression. Since the initial experiences with the anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody trastuzumab, it was clear that combination with conventional chemotherapy was required to exploit the full potential of HER2-targeting. However, prohibitive rates of cardiac toxicity were observed when trastuzumab was given concurrently with anthracyclines, which are compounds that have played a pivotal role in the treatment of breast cancer for decades. While most of the anti-HER2 programs have been designed as to avoid concomitance with anthracyclines, high rates of pathological complete remission were obtained in carefully selected patients with operable breasts cancer receiving concomitant trastuzumab and anthracycline in the preoperative setting. A recently published randomized study compared directly the current standard of sequential anthracycline followed by concomitant taxane and trastuzumab with a reversed sequence of taxanes followed by anthracyclines with trastuzumab administered concurrently with the whole program as neoadjuvant treatment for patients with early, operable breast cancer. The practical question asked by this study was whether a potential increase in the efficacy of trastuzumab based regimens could be worth the risk of giving it in concomitance with anthracyclines. This editorial will review the background of this study and discuss the impact of its results on the current clinical practice and on future research in the field.
Energetics of horizontal convection

Abstract Three-dimensional direct numerical simulation of horizontal convection is reported for a large Rayleigh number, $\mathit{Ra}\sim O(1{0}^{12} )$ , and boundary conditions that allow comparison with previous laboratory experiments. The convection is forced by heating over half of the horizontal base of a long channel and cooling over the other half of the base. The solutions are consistent with the experiments, including small-scale streamwise roll instability developing into a convectively mixed layer within the bottom thermal boundary layer, and a turbulent endwall plume. The mechanical energy budget is shown to be dominated by conversions of available potential energy to kinetic energy by buoyancy flux in the plume and the reverse in the interior of the circulation. These local conversions are three orders of magnitude greater than the total rate of viscous dissipation. The total irreversible mixing is exactly equal to the generation of available potential energy by buoyancy forcing, and one order of magnitude larger than the viscous dissipation. This confirms that dissipation rate is not an indicator of the strength of the circulation and explains why horizontal convection is more energetic than might be expected.
Relationship between Organizational Culture Identity and Job Performance of Enterprise Employees

Organizational culture identity is a key factor of enterprise culture construction and a hot topic in studies conducted nowadays.

Main results are as follows: (1) there is extremely significant positive correlation between four dimensions of organizational culture identity and two dimensions of job performance; (2) organizational culture identity has significant positive predict to job performance; in particular, culture identity degree in cognitive and behavioral aspects has significant positive predict to task performance, and culture identity degree in cognitive, behavioral, affective and social aspects has significant positive predict to contextual performance.
Juvenile Skulls and Other Postcranial Bones of Coelodonta nihowanensis from Shanshenmiaozui, Nihewan Basin, China

ABSTRACT Shanshenmiaozui in the Nihewan Basin of China is the locality that has produced the richest sample of Coelodonta nihowanensis material, including a nearly complete juvenile skull and mandible as well as various other cranial, mandibular, and postcranial bones. All of the cranial and mandibular specimens belong to individuals around 1.5 years old. On the basis of both qualitative morphological characters and Osteometric measurements, the new specimens can be provisionally referred to the species Coelodonta nihowanensis. They also fall within the range of variation seen in late Pleistocene Coelodonta antiquitatis, but are distinct from this species in having developed cingula, relatively low-crowned teeth either with or without very thin cement on the surface, vestigial lower incisors, less backward-curved protolophs, and more slender limb bones. The newly discovered juvenile skull of Coelodonta nihowanensis from Shanshenmiaozui represents the only known complete juvenile skull of an early member of Coelodonta, and therefore has great significance for understanding the development and evolution of the genus. Extensive comparisons with all other Coelodonta species, and with extant rhinoceroses, indicate that the new specimens are much more similar to the true woolly rhino Coelodonta antiquitatis than to any other taxon.
An Experimental Study on the Generation and Growth of Wind Waves

Physical processes on wind waves were studied in our windflume experiments. It was found that there are at least three regimes in the course of the generation and growth of wind waves. We call them initial tremor, initial wavelet, and sea wave in order of their appearance. The initial wavelet which is generated at w*H/va=1'0.3 is recognized as a roughness element on the water surface, and turns into the sea wave at w*H/va2=200 which has a character similar to that of what is called 'sea' An empirical universal law of initial wavelet which was found in our experiments and some discussions on physical mechanism of the generation and development of wind waves are presented. The numerical value of 'friction factor' is also shown.
STRATEGIC ALLIANCE GOVERNANCE FORMS

This article presents the results of bibliographical research with a view to identifying the principal factors that should be considered by firms when choosing the most appropriate governance form for a new strategic alliance. It contributes to the body of knowledge regarding factors that influence the choice of governance form in strategic alliances, by seeking to incorporate concepts and proposals available in the internationalization and corporate governance literature to the alliance governance field. It thus also intends to provide guidance on recommended governance forms and practices for executives of firms that operate in strategic alliances at domestic and international levels.
Dynamic relationships of capital flight and macroeconomic fundamentals in Malaysia

Understanding the very factors that influence massive capital outflow from an economy is vitally important as it may assist decision makers in formulating effective strategies which can not only mitigate such capital flight but also slow down the deterioration of the economy and even re-generate it. This paper analyzed the dynamic interaction between macroeconomic fundamentals and capital flight using co-integration and vector auto-regression. The macroeconomic fundamentals considered were exchange rates, consumer price index, gross domestic products and interest rates. The results show that macroeconomic fundamentals and capital flight are associated in the long run. In terms of short-run dynamics and interactions between capital flight and macroeconomic fundamentals, variations in capital flight are predominantly attributed to its own variations and exchange rate variations. Innovations in capital flight explain substantial fractions of the GDP, exchange rate, interest rate and CPI variations. Keywords: capital flight, CPI variations, exchange rate variations, interest rate, international finance, macroeconomic fundamentals
Discovery of Four New Massive and Dense Cold Cores

We report the identification, from a 1.2 mm dust continuum emission survey toward massive star-forming regions, of four strong 1.2 mm sources without counterparts at mid-infrared (Midcourse Space Experiment [MSX]) and far-infrared (IRAS) wavelengths. They have radii in the range 0.2-0.3 pc, dust temperatures ≤17 K, masses in the range 4 × 102-2 × 103 M☉, and densities of ~2 × 105 cm-3. We suggest that these objects are massive and dense cold cores that will eventually collapse to form high-mass stars.
Application of CE-QUAL-W2 Model to WaterQuality Simulation in Prespa Lakes

Prespa Lakes region is a good case study, as it is a wetland area of high biodiversity and long human history. The main features of this region are two lakes, which also give the name to the area: Macro Prespa and Micro Prespa, which lap the shores of the three countries (Albania, Macedonia and Greece) and connect them in this way symbolically. This region hosts unique habitats that are important from both regional and global conservation perspective, and populations of numerous rare, relict, endemic, endangered or threatened species. It is also remarkable for its cultural values, including Byzantine monuments and examples of traditional architecture. In Prespa, the coabidance between Man and Nature over the centuries has shaped and preserved a wealth of natural and cultural values that account for the area’s international importance. However, current resource management practices including water and land-use planning, agriculture, forestry and fisheries are failing to maintain and restore the health of ecosystems. The main goal of this study was to use a calibrated water quality model capable of predicting future water quality conditions resulting from potential changes in lakes operations and/or environmental conditions in Prespa Park region. In this study, CE-QUAL-W2, the two dimensional hydrodynamic and water quality model, was used to simulate water quality in Prespa Lakes, for the years 2010 through 2013. The simulation of main water quality constituents: dissolved oxygen, total phosphorous and orthophosphate, ammonia and nitrate, algal biomass and chlorophyll a, and organic carbon cycle, was performed. The sample data for each water quality parameter was statistically analyzed. The CEQUAL- W2 model was able to accurately simulate water quality, with relative error of the mean less than 10%. Model results revealed that model calculated concentrations of key water quality indexes matched well with the measured values. The modeling results presented here provide a starting point for simulating the water quality in the Praspa Lakes. The results and conclusions from this study are not intended for use on Prespa Lakes alone. The concepts of model development can potentially be applied and also broaden its usefulness to other systems.
The Multidimensional Mortality Awareness Measure & Model (MMAMM): Development and validation of a new self-report questionnaire & psychological framework

For each of eight literature-identified conceptual dimensions of mortality awareness, questionnaire items were generated, producing 89 in all. 359 participants responded to these items and to questionnaires measuring health attitudes, risk-taking, rebelliousness and demographic variables. Multivariate correlational analyses investigated the underlying structure of the item pool and the construct validity as well as the reliability of the emergent empirically derived subscales. Five components, rather than eight, were identified. Given the item content of each, the associated mortality awareness subscales were labelled as: legacy, fearfulness, acceptance, disempowerment, and disengagement. Each attained an acceptable level of internal reliability. Relationships with other variables supported the construct validity of these empirically derived subscales and more generally of this five-factor model. In conclusion, this new multidimensional measure and model of mortality awareness extends our understanding of this important aspect of human existence and supports a more integrative and optimistic approach to mortality awareness than previously available.

Quasi-linear MHD modelling of H-mode plasma response to resonant magnetic perturbations

The plasma response to externally imposed resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) is investigated through quasi-linear MHD modelling in the case where the resonant surfaces are located in the pedestal of an H-mode plasma. The pedestal is a particular region regarding the question of plasma response to RMPs because of its strong E × B and electron diamagnetic rotations. It is found that a strong rotational screening takes place in most of the pedestal. The RMPs may, however, penetrate in a narrow layer at the very edge, where the plasma is cold and resistive. The possibility that one harmonic of the RMPs may also penetrate if its resonant surface is at a particular location, close to the top of the pedestal, where the E × B and electron diamagnetic rotations compensate each other, is discussed. Finally, the RMPs are found to produce some additional transport, even though they do not penetrate.
Late Pleistocene Climatic Changes in Central Brazil Indicated by Freshwater Sponges

The Cemiterio Palaeolake deposit in Catalao, Goias State, Brazil, comprises a single, complete lacustrine sequence, dated from less than 27,500 ± 4000 yr B.P. to more than 51,780 ± 400 14C yr B.P. The unprecedented presence of spongillite and diatomite layers in this deposit was investigated using spicules of continental sponges as proxy data for environmental and climate reconstruction, which was relatively extensive for the ages examined. From the analysis of the sedimentary features and the associations of spicules preserved in the deposit, it was possible to reconstruct the evolution of the limnic system. Five developmental stages were thus identified, corresponding to the installation (lotic and erosion phase), establishment and development of the lake and its colmatation, the latter correlating to the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Moreover, based on the ecological requirements of the sponge species identified in the deposit, it was possible to infer the likely weather patterns related to respective phases of the lake. The presence of the sponge species Corvoheteromeyenia australis, presently recorded only from southern South America, indicated that polar incursions originating from the Antarctic were frequent during the last glacial period and might have played a notable role in what is now central Brazil. However, for a short time, drier and hotter weather conditions might have predominated, as suggested by the presence of the species Corvomeyenia thumi.
Length-Weight Relationship of Brown Trout, Salmo trutta L., Inhabiting Kan Stream, Çoruh Basin, North-Eastern Turkey

Length-weight and length-length, fork (FL), standard (SL) and total (TL) lengths, relationships were derived for brown trout, Salmo trutta L. , inhabiting Kan Stream, Coruh Basin, eastern Turkey. Sampling was done between January–December of 2001 using electronic fishing gear. The relationships between lengths were all significantly linear (p<0.01), the b value in the length-weight relationship for males and females did not deviate from 3, and this value was significantly lower than 3 in the winter (p<0.01), when the temporal changes were taken into account, indicating that only the sampling time affected the growth pattern of Salmo trutta. Growth was isometric in the spring, summer and fall, but it was negative and allometric in the winter.
Isolation, identification and alkane hydroxylase genes detection of a marine diesel-degrading bacterial strain (F9)

A diesel-degrading bacterial strain (F9) was isolated and identified in this study. F9 strain was isolated from diesel polluted seawater. It was a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming bacterium and identified as a strain of Acinetobacter sp. according to its physiological and biochemical properties and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. It had efficient diesel-biodegradability and could grow very well with diesel as its sore carbon resource. At the 7th day, F9 could remove more than 90% diesel in culture. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) results showed that F9 could degrade all alkanes from C11-C21 in diesel. Using degenerate PCR primers, the alkane hydroxylase genes, including AlkB and CYP153A genes, were detected in F9. Products of PCR were sequenced and analyzed. The results showed that F9 had one CYP153A gene and two AlkB genes. The sequence of CYP153A gene in F9 had 99% identity to sequence of CYP153A gene of Acinetobactersp. EB104. The sequence of one AlkB gene had 99% identity to sequence of AlkM gene ofAcinetobacter venetianus strain VE-C3. While, the sequence of the other AlkB gene only had 84% identity to sequence of AlkB gene of bacterium alkW42. The presence of multiple alkane hydroxylase genes in F9 may be the reason why it had efficient diesel-degradability and wide substrate range. In conclusion, F9 strain containing multiple alkane hydroxylase genes belonged to genera Acinetobacter sp and could degrade diesel efficiently. It has potential to be applied in bioremediation of marine diesel pollution. Key words: Bacterial strain, diesel-degrading, Acinetobacter sp. , alkane hydroxylase gene, bioremediation
