Examples of real-time in the following topics:

  • Multiplex and Real-Time PCR

    • Multiplex and real-time PCR are molecular techniques designed to amplify nucleic acid sequences in a quantitative manner.
    • Real-time polymerase chain (RT-PCR) reaction, also called quantitative real-time PCR (qRt-PCR) is used to amplify and quantify targeted DNA molecules.
    • Real-time PCR can used to amplify low-abundance DNA templates.
    • During real-time PCR with oligoprobes, there is a change in signal following direct interaction with the amplicon.
    • Real-time PCR assays have been extremely useful for studying microbial agents of infectious disease and have proven valuable for basic microbiological research.
  • Calculating Real GDP

    • Roughly, we can say that real GDP rises to only $102 as the inflation rate accounted for.
    • The Gross domestic Product (GDP) is the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time.
    • Real values measure the purchasing power net of any price changes over time.
    • Real GDP accounts for inflation and deflation.
    • This graph shows the real GDP growth over a specific period of time.
  • Discrete Fourier Transform Examples

    • What we will do is construct an unknown time series' DFT by hand and inverse transform to see what the resulting time series looks like.
    • In all cases the time series $h_k$ is 64 samples long.
    • Next, in Figure 4.12, we show at the top an input time series consisting of a pure sinusoid (left) and the real part of its DFT.
    • On the left in the middle plot is the real part of the noisy signals DFT.
    • The real (left) and imaginary (right) parts of three length 64 time series, each associated with a Kronecker delta frequency spectrum.
  • Addition and Subtraction of Complex Numbers

    • This is done by adding the corresponding real parts and the corresponding imaginary parts.
    • Note that this is always possible since the real and imaginary parts are real numbers, and real number addition is defined and understood.
    • The key again is to combine the real parts together and the imaginary parts together, this time by subtracting them.
    • Note that it is possible for two non-real complex numbers to add to a real number.
    • However, two real numbers can never add to be a non-real complex number.
  • Convergence Theorems

    • For more details, consult a book on analysis such as The Elements of Real Analysis by Bartle or Real Analysis by Haaser and Sullivan.
    • Figure 4.11: The real (left) and imaginary (right) parts of three time series of length 64, each associated with a Kronecker delta frequency spectrum.
    • These time series are reconstructed from the spectra by inverse DFT.
    • In the top right we see the real part of its DFT.
    • At the bottom left, we show a Gaussian time series that we will use to smooth the noisy time series by convolving it with the DFT of the noisy signal.
  • Other Considerations in Capital Budgeting

    • The real option creates economic value by generating future decision rights for management.
    • For this reason, the timing of an investment can be crucial in determining its profitability.
    • In other words, the option to defer an investment creates value because exogenous uncertainty can be reduced with the passage of time.
    • Another value-creating aspect of real options can be found in abandonment.
    • Projects with real options can be evaluated using a range of possible profits.
  • Real Versus Nominal Rates

    • However, since these assumptions are almost never met in the real world, the real exchange rate will never equal 1.
    • The real exchange rate is the nominal exchange rate times the relative prices of a market basket of goods in the two countries.
    • The real exchange rate would be the nominal rate of A/B (2) times the price of the basket of goods in B (15), and divide all that by the price of the basket of goods expressed in A (10).
    • In this case, the real A/B exchange rate is 3.
    • PPP is then used to help determine real exchange rates.
  • Multiplication of Complex Numbers

    • It is best to not let this fact confuse you, but to just remember it as a fact -- any time an $i^2$ appears in a calculation, it can be replaced by the real number $-1.$
    • Note that this last multiplication yields a real number, since $bi\cdot di = bd \cdot i^2=bd\cdot (-1) =-bd.$ 
    • Note that the FOIL algorithm produces two real terms (from the First and Last multiplications) and two imaginary terms (from the Outer and Inner multiplications).
    • Note that if a number has a real part of $0$, then the FOIL method is not necessary.
    • Note that it is possible for two nonreal complex numbers to multiply together to be a real number.
  • Economic Growth as a Measuring Stick

    • It is important to note that real GDP adjusts for inflation, rather than looking at output in nominal dollars.
    • If inflation is calculated to be 3% between 1900 and 1901, real economic growth will equate to 2%.
    • An outline of the perspectives of economic growth over time include:
    • As a result, an economy will continuously decrease price and thus increase demand, minimizing marginal utility over time and saturating markets.
    • A more educated workforce will result in increases in real output, as will advances in technology and innovation.
  • Reasons for and Consequences of Shift in Aggregate Demand

    • In economics, aggregate demand is the total demand for final goods and services at a given time and price level.
    • The slope of the aggregate demand curve shows the extent to which the real balances change the equilibrium level of spending.
    • In an economy, when the nominal money stock in increased, it leads to higher real money stock at each level of prices.
    • The interest rates decrease which causes the public to hold higher real balances.
    • The model is also used to show real and potential output.
