The focus of this study is the effect that portfolio composition has on the tracking performance
of indexed portfolios. Indexed portfolios from high-capitalization indices are shown to have …

Several methods have been proposed for constructing confidence intervals on measures of
variability in a classical repeatability and reproducibility study. These methods are compared …

Background: The mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ m ) controls the generation of
adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and reactive oxygen species, and sequesteration of intracellular …

Many agronomic models require the input of daily climatic data. Simulated climatic data may
be used when long series of historic data are not available or convenient, or when future …

Measles immunization campaigns are effective elements of a comprehensive strategy for
preventing measles cases and deaths. However, if immunizations are not properly …

In this study, the performance of cross-sectional stochastic dominance (SD), first proposed
by Falk and Levy (FL) (1989), is compared with three traditional event study methodologies: …

Various ex ante portfolio parameter estimation techniques and optimization/holding period
frequency intervals are tested for their ability to enhance managed portfolio returns relative to …

During cerebral ischemia neuronal injury is induced by a combination of hypoxia, hypoglycemia
and glutamate excitotoxicity. To evaluate the relative importance of these factors on the …

The KLL Auger electron production cross section has been measured for collisions between
Na+, Na 2+, Ne+, Ne 2+, and N+ ions and Ne and N 2 targets. Over a narrow velocity range (…

In this paper we consider two methods for comparing variability of two measurement
processes. The comparisons are based on statistics commonly computed in an R&R study. …
