Maximal Oxygen Consumption (VO2 max) is one of the most important predictors in cardio respiratory domain. The present work deals with the relationship between the six minute walk test to the maximal oxygen consumption. Pneumatologists and cardiologists are very interested in this relationship...

In this paper, a concept of approximate social Nash equilibria is considered and an existence result is given when the strategic spaces of the players are not compact. These have been obtained using an approximate fixed point theorem. As an application of the existence of such approximate social...

Le esigenze di connettivita' di un'organizzazione per l'erogazione di servizi strategici necessitano di una sempre maggiore ampiezza di banda per supportare le nuove richieste applicative, insieme ad un maggior livello di granularita': infatti, la necessita' di banda ad hoc comprende molto piu'...

An estimator of the correlation between Italian and U.S. Stock Returns is introduced. The properties of the estimator are invariant with respect to a wide class of GARCH models. The empirical evidence shows the existence of a positive correlation between Italian an U. S. stock returns.

We study a differential game, for the extraction of a renewable resource, in which players are overlapping generations of extractors. The framework of overlapping generation allows us to consider both intragenerational (players in the same generation) and intergenerational (players in different...

Nel corso degli anni l'enorme e sempre crescente disponibilita' di informazioni, soprattutto con l'avvento di Internet, e le innumerevo- li innovazioni nell'ambiente software hanno portato la produzione di applicazioni multimediali ad essere una strategia educativa efficiente ed efficace. Le...

The causal relationship between economic growth and energy consumption represents a widely studied topic in energy economics literature. Although it is very well known that there is a strong correlation between energy use and growth, the issue of causality still remains to be answered. This...

The definition of correlation is generalized to random vectors whose second moment may not exist. The properties of generalized correlation coefficient are investigated with respect to linear transformations and special families of distributions.
