Financial progress and the stability of long-run money demand: Implications for the conduct of monetary policy in emerging economies
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2009 , Article)
This paper examines whether recent financial changes in three emerging market economies in the Gulf region (Bahrain, the UAE, and Qatar) have distorted the character and the stability of their underlying long-run money ...
Handling data uncertainties in event tree analysis
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
Event tree analysis (ETA) is an established risk analysis technique to assess likelihood (in a probabilistic context) of an accident. The objective data available to estimate the likelihood is often missing (or sparse), ...
Maternal and child health in the occupied Palestinian territory
(
Elsevier
, 2009 , Article)
The Countdown to 2015 intervention coverage indicators in the occupied Palestinian territory are similar to those
of other Arab countries, although there are gaps in continuity and quality of services across the continuum ...
A simple method for finding empirical likelihood type intervals for the ROC curve
(
Wayne State University
, 2007 , Article)
Interval estimation of the ROC curve is considered using the empirical likelihood techniques. Suggested is a procedure that is very simple computationally and avoids the constrained optimization problems usually faced with ...
Reduction kinetics of ceria surface by hydrogen
(
Elsevier
, 2004 , Article)
Sintered ceria pellets of porosity 16.4% and density 5.99gcm−3 were treated in a hydrogen flow at 1atm and various temperatures. The electrical conductivity was measured in situ while hydrogen gas was flowing over the CeO2. ...
Reduction kinetics of ceria surface by hydrogen
(
Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
, 2004 , Article)
Powdered cerium dioxide (ceria, CeO2) as compressed, sintered pellets, of porosity 16.4% and density 5.99 g cm−3, were treated in hydrogen flow at 1 atm and various temperatures to effect reduction. The electrical conductivity ...
Factors influencing determination of shale classification indices and their correlation to mechanical properties
(
Springer Verlag
, 2006 , Article)
The influence of sample preparation procedure on the measured classification indices such as clay-size fraction, liquid limit, and plastic limit of shales was investigated. Shale samples covering a wide range of composition ...
Comparative study on the behavior of square foundations resting on confined sand
(
Canadian Science Publishing
, 2009 , Article)
The behavior of shallow foundations resting on laterally and (or) vertically confined sand has been investigated using physical and numerical modeling. The models were designed to simulate the frequently constructed raft ...
Stability analysis and charts for slopes susceptible to translational failure
(
Canadian Science Publishing
, 2006 , Article)
The aim of this paper is to develop two- and three-dimensional stability charts for slopes susceptible to translational failure. An extensive parametric study was conducted using a slope model that is designed to simulate ...
A technique for estimating permeability of a randomly fractured rock mass
(
Springer Verlag
, 2007 , Article)
Extensive field and laboratory testing programs were performed to develop a relationship between the permeability of a fractured limestone and the core recovery values. The studied limestone does not encompass any jointing ...
