The 1905 Einstein Equation In A General Mathematical Analysis Model Of Quasars, Byron E. Bell May 2010

The 1905 Einstein Equation In A General Mathematical Analysis Model Of Quasars, Byron E. Bell

Byron E. Bell

The 1905 wave equation of Albert Einstein is a model that can be used in many areas, such as physics, applied mathematics, statistics, quantum chaos and financial mathematics, etc. I will give a proof from the equation of A. Einstein’s paper “Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Körper” it will be done by removing the variable time (t) and the constant (c) the speed of light from the above equation and look at the factors that affect the model in a real analysis framework. Testing the model with SDSS-DR5 Quasar Catalog (Schneider +, 2007). Keywords: direction cosine, apparent magnitudes of optical light; ultraviolet …

Monopoly, Regulation, And Innovation, Matt Bogard Mar 2010

Monopoly, Regulation, And Innovation, Matt Bogard

Economics Faculty Publications

Recently the Justice department has started investigations into alleged anti-trust violations by Monsanto. This has helped fuel a lot of already hyped discontent with one of the world’s leaders in innovative solutions for sustainable agriculture. This article discusses how the regulatory environment could possibly have contributed to more concentration and power in the biotech industry. Increasing regulation would likely have the opposite effect of creating a level playing field in the agriculture industry.

Participation And Engagement In Sport: A Double Hurdle Approach For The United Kingdom, Babatunde Buraimo, Brad Humphreys, Rob Simmons Jan 2010

Participation And Engagement In Sport: A Double Hurdle Approach For The United Kingdom, Babatunde Buraimo, Brad Humphreys, Rob Simmons

Dr Babatunde Buraimo

This paper uses pooled cross-section data from four waves of the United Kingdom’s Taking Part Survey, 2005 to 2009, in order to investigate determinants of probability of participation and levels of engagement in sports. The two rival modelling approaches considered here are the double-hurdle approach and the Heckman sample selection model. The Heckman model proves to be deficient in several key respects. The double-hurdle approach offers more reliable estimates than the Heckman sample selection model, at least for this particular survey. The distinction is more than just statistical nuance as there are substantive differences in qualitative results from the two …
