Level Crossing Analysis of the Stock Markets

We investigate the average frequency of positive slope $\nu_{\alpha}^{+}$, crossing for the returns of market prices. The method is based on stochastic processes which no scaling feature is explicitly required. Using this method we define new quantity to quantify stage of development and activity of stocks exchange. We compare the Tehran and western stock markets and show that some stocks such as Tehran (TEPIX) and New Zealand (NZX) stocks exchange are emerge, and also TEPIX is a non-active market and financially motivated to absorb capital.Comment: 6 pages and 4 figure

One bath method dyeing of polyester/cotton blend fabric with sulphatoethylsulphonyl disperse/reactive dyes treatment by chitin biopolymer

In this research, the process of dyeing polyester/cotton fabrics using disperse/reactive dyestuffs in one method dyeing processes was investigated. In the order to improve the adhesion of chitin to the surface of polyester/cotton fibers, pre-treatment in NaOH solutions was performed. The colour and rubbing fastness properties of the chitin-deposited polyester/cotton fabrics were assessed. The colour difference between the dyed blank samples and samples dyed in NaOH and/or different viscosity chitin treatment was estimated. The data obtained shows that it is possible to dye polyester/cotton fabrics finished by chitin with only one disperses/reactive dyestuff. The dyed samples showed good rubbing andwashing colour fastness properties within the range of colour change. The colour strength of the dyed samples increased with the increased deposition of chitin on the fabric

Consistency of f(R)=R2−R02f(R)=\sqrt{R^{2}-R_{0}^2} Gravity with the Cosmological Observations in Palatini Formalism

In this work we study the dynamics of universe in $f(R)=\sqrt{R^2-R_{0}^2}$ modified gravity with Palatini formalism. We use data from recent observations as Supernova Type Ia (SNIa) Gold sample and Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS) data, size of baryonic acoustic peak from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), the position of the acoustic peak from the CMB observations and large scale structure formation (LSS) from the 2dFGRS survey to put constraint on the parameters of the model. To check the consistency of this action, we compare the age of old cosmological objects with the age of universe. In the combined analysis with the all the observations, we find the parameters of model as $R_0=6.192_{-0.177}^{+0.167}\times H_0^2$ and $\Omega_m=0.278_{-0.278}^{+0.273}$.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figure

Uncertainty in the Fluctuations of the Price of Stocks

We report on a study of the Tehran Price Index (TEPIX) from 2001 to 2006 as an emerging market that has been affected by several political crises during the recent years, and analyze the non-Gaussian probability density function (PDF) of the log returns of the stocks' prices. We show that while the average of the index did not fall very much over the time period of the study, its day-to-day fluctuations strongly increased due to the crises. Using an approach based on multiplicative processes with a detrending procedure, we study the scale-dependence of the non-Gaussian PDFs, and show that the temporal dependence of their tails indicates a gradual and systematic increase in the probability of the appearance of large increments in the returns on approaching distinct critical time scales over which the TEPIX has exhibited maximum uncertainty.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures.
