The thesis discusses a myth of Kumari in relation to historical events and political tendencies in the Kathmandu valley.

This paper proposes an IV-based panel unit root test that is general enough to accommodate general error serial and cross-section dependence, and a potentially nonlinear deterministic trend function.

Indeed, the IV statistic is asymptotically invariant to not only to all nuisance parameters char

This article presents two learning processes in order to explain how children at an early age can transform a complex sensory input to concepts and categories. The first process constructs the perceptual structures that emerge in children’s cognitive development by detecting invariants in the sensory input. The invariant structures involve a reduction in dimensionality of the sensory information.
