In recent years investors evaluate their portfolio using modern portfolio theory developed by Markowitz while in the past they evaluated portfolio types according to the traditional portfolio theory based on simple diversification. In modern portfolio theory, it has been defended that the relationships among financial assets included in the portfolio should be taken into account. In addition, the return and risk of the portfolio can be calculated by the mean-variance model. Investors always expect the maximum return and the minimum risk. Therefore they want to choose the optimum one. In Economics literature there are some measurements to evaluate the performances of the different portfolios. In this study, it is aimed at the portfolio analysis to do for the data of the BIST 30 index. For portfolio optimization, some Artificial Intelligence techniques such as the Genetic Algorithm and Particular Swarm Optimization were used for the data belonging to the year 2018. In these algorithms...

A series of compounds possessing an N-substituted indoline-5-sulfonamide pharmacophore was prepared and evaluated for their human [53 adrenergic receptor agonist activity. The SAR of a wide range of urea and heterocyclic substituents is discussed. 4-Octyl thiazole compound 8c was the most potent and selective compound in the series, with 2800-fold selectivity over 131 binding and 1400-fold selectivity over 132 binding.
This workbook is intended as a survey of a wide range of issues that arise in the screening and admission of candidates into a Religious Life. It covers areas that may arise with candidates who significant life experience. It is a screening instrument, intended to identify those areas of a candidate's background that will need more attention and discussion. It is not a substitute for good discernment, but an aid to it. Each institute will supplement it with questions and conversations that are particular to its particular life, spirituality and mission, expanding the initial inquiry. This is a workbook – it is not intended to be completed in one sitting. It can be used in a variety of ways. • Give one or a few sections at a time to the applicant. When meeting with the applicant, take some time to go over those sections he/she has completed. Discuss any questions, comments, etc. • Give the applicant the whole workbook – explaining that it is an instrument to guide discernment and explore issues that may arise as the process unfolds. Again, when meeting with the applicant, take some time to go over those sections that have been completed and discuss any questions, comments, etc. • The Inventory of Legal and Financial Matters can be given to the candidate to fill in preliminary answers. This will identify any areas that may need further discussion. Preliminary answers can be discussed with the vocation director after which more documentation may be obtained if needed. This workbook is help for those discerning a call to religious life with applicants. It does not replace the discernment process. Instead it is intended to help communities and inquirers to explore important areas that may need attention in the discernment process. The workbook is most valuable when it stimulates reflection by the candidate and subsequent discussion with the vocation director. The workbook may raise civil and canonical issues that may need further discussion in the vocation discernment process. Advice of an attorney and/or canonist familiar with vocation discernment may be helpful. The brief introduction for Applicants on the next page may be given to them when you give or send parts of this workbook to them. The checklist on the previous page is intended to help you keep track of which sections have been given to the applicant, completed and reviewed within the community. Blessings on your ministry, Sister Amy Hereford
Over the past twenty years applications designed to shape building elements and systems have been used in the field of Architecture 3D computer have improved considerably the visualization and understanding of architecture, with the addition that we can explore the interacting model virtually and in real time. What is widely sought nowadays is the implementation of a new concept of work based on a data model represented, focusing on incorporating new factors such as management and information transmission, and as internationally established lately with the completion of BIM technology. In the dynamic environment in which we currently operate, where we are required to work more coordinately, productively and fully effectively, the BIM technology can help us develop more vigorously in a technological field that requires constant evolution and well-systematized multidisciplinary teams. The Information Model or BIM for Construction has now become a collaborative system that greatly benefits the industries involved in the AEC sector. The essence of BIM is to be a core container with graphic and alphanumeric information, where each part-taking discipline dumps knowledge to meet the peculiarities of the building in coordination with the other agents involved. Applying the same principles to the field of Heritage, we see that archaeologists, architects, historians, restorers or engineers find themselves at the same crossroads when communicating their assumptions and submitting them to discussion before reaching a meditated acknowledgement. Moreover, the latest lifting techniques and digital image manipulation that are within our reach make us adopt a methodology different from the present work. It is imperative to use the latest advances in data acquisition techniques, essential for the correct representation of the built heritage and for analysis and diagnosis in subsequent interventions. Society is gaining interest in these cultural values inherited from our ancestors, what is forcing researchers to be more efficient in technical knowledge, conservation, and heritage protection. And this is where we must emphasize the importance of good documentation, especially graph, which is constantly updated and never to leave false data in the interventions, be them current or future. But we must add another consideration, which is the requirement in recent years by some entities and agencies of an efficient and productive work in the field of construction, which in the case of architectural and historical heritage in general means using systems knowledge, conservation and more effective protection. These first steps involve establishing a new pattern that places the BIM system at the bottom of these objectives and to govern the future of the building in all its facets at the turn of the XXIst century. Given the above, the work of the present thesis will focus on creating an information model intended for Heritage, using existing innovative technologies for the acquisition of geometric information from the historic building, its external aspects and physical properties of the materials used. The goal is to put all the information gathered in the survey and auscultation phases in a single graphical model, operative from different disciplines and which allows inter-operationalization, avoiding unnecessary and sometimes contradictory data duplication. Therefore, an intervention project supported by a model Information Historic Building, that we can call HBIM Project (Historic Building Information Modelling) is established. The project HBIM consists of an integrated information system, with a virtual model of the historical building and a database linked to it. We will facilitate effective management of surveying constantly updating their views, and an inventory of all constituent elements, structured by listing categories and interactive diagrams.

A few specimens of the exotic fish, Nile Perch, (Lates niloticus, Linnaeus 1758) were transferred into Lake Victoria in early 1950’s. In early 1980’s this fish occupied the Lake Victoria ecosystem eliminating the local endemic Haplochromines (app. 400 species). As a result of this change, together with intensification of pollution constrains from the catchment and dust deposition the ecology of Victoria’s ecosystem was modified: cyanobacteria replaced diatoms, anoxia enhanced, secchi depth became shallower, euphotic zone became thinner, fishery enhanced fully comprised of Nile Perch and Rastrineobola. The ecological significances are discussed and future propositions are presented.
The aim of the study was to examine the improvementof deaf and hard of hearing students' understanding of Disaster Mitigation material using Tsunami museum as learning resources and to investigate the students' characters after exposed to Disaster Mitigation material. The population of the study was 15 BUKESRASecondary Special Need School students year X-B. The data was collected through written test consists of 20 disaster mitigation questions and questionnaire about students' characteristics delivered twice during the study. The data was analyzed using percentage formula. The result of the study indicated that there was 30 % of improvement of the students' understanding toward disaster mitigation materials. It is also found that the students' characters were also increased in term of self-confidence, independent, logical thinking, responsibility, and care. It is concluded that there was an improvement of students' understanding in learning disaster mitigation in Tsunami museum. Moreover, the students' characters are found better in term of self-confidence, independent, logical thinking, responsibility, and care after exposed to the materials.

The brochs of the Atlantic Scottish Iron Age have long been regarded as the products of invasion from the south. The present paper seeks to review the significance of architectural innovation in the light of recent excavations and the emerging extended chronology. To enable a wider perspective a new terminology is proposed for the structures of the Atlantic Scottish Iron Age. Architectural developments are placed in the context of parallel developments in other spheres of material culture and of non-architectural settlement change. Regional trajectories of development can be defined and form the basis for a review of interpretations for the period.
