Software development is becoming more and more collaborative, emphasizing the role of end-users in the development process to make sure the final product will satisfy customer needs.This is especially relevant when developing Domain-Specific Modeling Languages (DSMLs), which are modeling languages specifically designed to carry out the tasks of a p
Disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW) deep underground is one of the most challenging research subjects in rock engineering.In China, Beishan granite is usually chosen as host rock for the construction of the HLW repository.In this study, mechanical tests are conducted on Beishan granite and the stress-strain state during the complete fail
Abstract Many studies of fertility have reported a wide range of factors to be important determinants.These determinants include proximate factors and male and female background variables.However, most of the research has been based on an analysis of cross-sectional fertility elasticities.Therefore, there are limited attempts to examine the tempora
Vietnam is a significant consumer of wildlife, particularly wild meat, in urban restaurant settings.To meet this demand, poaching of wildlife is widespread, threatening regional and international biodiversity.Previous interventions to tackle illegal and potentially unsustainable consumption of wild meat in Vietnam have generally focused on limiting
This paper derives the statistical properties of a two-step approach to estimating multivariate rotated GARCH-BEKK (RBEKK) models.From the definition of RBEKK, the unconditional covariance matrix is estimated in the first step to rotate the observed variables in order to have the identity matrix for its sample covariance matrix.In the second step,
