The efficient market hypothesis explains the random walk hypothesis suggesting that stock prices are independent of each other, hence, it is impossible to earn abnormal profits. The positive effect of a well-functioning and highly efficient stock market on the performance of an economy motivated the Philippine Stock Exchange to pursue massive modernization initiatives. This research provides evidence of the existence of random walk in the Philippine stock market employing the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (1981) and Phillips-Perron (1988) unit root tests, the Lo-MacKinlay's (1988) conventional variance ratio test, and Chow-Denning's (1993) simple multiple variance ratio test. Results of the ADF and PP unit root tests confirm the necessary condition for a random walk. The Chow-Denning (1993) maximum /z/ statistic and the Wald test statistic as in Richardson and Smith (1991) for the joint hypotheses and the Lo and MacKinlay (1988) individual statistics variance ratio test generally accepted the null hypothesis of a random walk. That is, the unit root and variance ratio tests consistently indicate that the null hypothesis of random walk cannot be rejected. The existence of a random walk in weak-form efficiency can be attributed to market liquidity as a result of continuous development and modernization of the Philippine equity market.

Recently, because of increasing in downpour and typhoon, which are caused by climate changes, those sedimentation disasters, such as landslide and debris flow, have become frequent. Those sedimentation disasters take place in natural slope. In order to predict debris flow damage range within wide area, the response model is more appropriate than numerical analysis. However, to make a prediction using Random Walk Model, the regional parameters is needed to be decided, since the regional environments conditions are not always same. This random Walk Model is a probability model with easy calculation method, and simplified slope factor. The objective of this study is to calculate the optimal parameters of Random Walk Model for Umyeon mountain in Seoul, where the large debris flow has occurred in 2011. Debris flow initiation zones and sedimentation zones were extracted through field survey, aerial photograph and visual reading of debris flow before and after its occurrence via LiDAR DEM.

An animated ink diffusion on paper is simulated through making a multiple sessions of random walks. The simulated random walk is built and validated against the diffusion model, then animated by varying the intensity thresholds of the accumulated visit counts on each pixels on an image. Two different random walk models are built one of which is a free random walk in that the walker has exactly same probability to move in any four or eight directions in each step. The other is a biased random walk that has a higher chance to go to a pixel that has more similar intensity value. The latter can be used to simulate an ink diffusion radiating through different texture of paper.

The two-dimensional Random-Walk model in which fluid and pollutant particles are tracked using statistical concept was developed to simulate dispersion processes in natural streams. The calibration of the model shows that the error decreases as the number of grid increases, and/or the number of particles in each grid increases. The proposed model is tested against the dispersion data collected in the Grand River, Canada. The simulation results show that the 2-D Random-Walk model describes two-dimensional mixing phenomena occurred in the irregular meandering stream very accurately.

A study is made on the determination of the total head distribution using the random walk theory within a confined flow system with complicated boundary conditions. Both nonhomogeniety and anisotropy of the aquifer are considered. The overlying on the aquifer may have sheet piles and the impervious boundary may be inclined. Use is made of the Monte Carlo simulation based on the random walk theory to determine the total head at a given Point. A computer program is developed for practical use. The proposed method was evaluated by comparing the results with those obtained by other method, i.e., the conventional flow net, the finite difference method, and the method of fragment. It is found that all the values are in reasonable agreement and the method is sufficiently accurate for practical use.

In this paper we propose a new visualization technique to characterize qualitative information of a large DNA sequence. While a long DNA sequence has huge information, it is not easy to obtain genetic information from the DNA sequence. We transform DNA sequences into a polygon to compute their homology in image domain rather than text domain. Our program visualizes DNA sequences with colored random walk plots and simplify them k-convex hulls. A random walk plot represents DNA sequence as a curve in a plane. A k-convex hull simplifies a random work plot by removing some parts of its insignificant information. This technique gives a biologist an insight to detect and classify DNA sequences with easy. Experiments with real genome data proves our approach gives a good visual forms for long DNA sequences for homology analysis.

Using a simple random walk model, this study simulated the growth of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) pattern generated by dip-pen nanolithography (DPN). In this model, the SAM pattern grew mainly via the serial pushing of molecules deposited from the tip. This study examined various SAM patterns, such as lines, crosses and letters, by changing the tip scan speed.
