- The IT sector, income convergence hypothesis and the human development index
- ABSTRACT The income convergence hypothesis is reformulated in terms of the gap in Human Development Index values, rather than the per capita income gap, and seen to be applicable to a large sample of developing countries and emerging market nations. When stated as customary, in terms of the per...

- Diffusion-thermo and thermal-diffusion effects on free convective heat and mass transfer flow in a porous medium with time dependent temperature and concentration
- Abstract The diffusion-thermo and thermal-diffusion effects on unsteady free convection and mass transfer flow along an accelerated vertical porous plate embedded in a porous medium have been studied numerically taking the plate temperature and concentration to be functions of time. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into...

- 2 Majorization theory.(MIMO Transceiver Design via Majorization Theory)
- Many of the problems addressed in this text result in complicated nonconvex constrained optimization problems that involve matrix-valued variables. Majorization theory is a key tool that allows us to transform these problems into simple problems with scalar variables that can be easily solved. ...

- Do formula or competitive grant funds have greater impacts on state agricultural productivity?
- The federal government in 1887 established the State Agricultural Experiment Station SAES system to conduct original research and verify experiments bearing directly on the U.S. agricultural sector. Each State was entitled to an equal amount annually of federal funds to support this research (Knoblauch, Law, and Meyer 1962, p. 219)....

- The case for cross-media environmental policy
- I. INTRODUCTION Prevailing environmental regulations focus on only one environmental medium at a time, such as air pollution without addressing the potential for simultaneously occurring deleterious effects on other environmental media such as water and land. For example, the federal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 CAAA mandate the...

- Residual diagnostics for growth mixture models: examining the impact of a preventive intervention on multiple trajectories of aggressive behavior.
- Growth mixture modeling has become a prominent tool for studying the heterogeneity of developmental trajectories within a population. In this article we develop graphical diagnostics to detect misspecification in growth mixture models regarding the number of growth classes, growth trajectory means, and covariance structures. For each model misspecification, we propose...

- Cultures of illegality in the National Hockey League
- 1. Introduction The economic model of crime demonstrates how an individual might decide to engage in illegal activity. It demonstrates that such activity may be motivated by incentives associated with a person's human capital skills, the availability of legitimate activity, preferences for risk, the potential sanction, and the probability...

- Simulation optimization: a comprehensive review on theory and applications
- 1. Introduction With the continuing developments in computer technology, simulation is receiving increasing attention as a decision-making tool. Most real-world systems are so complex that computing values of performance measures and finding optimal decision variables analytically is very hard and sometimes impossible. Therefore, computer simulation is frequently used in...

- Optical diffraction in close proximity to plane apertures. III. Modified, self-consistent theory
- The classical theory of diffraction at plane apertures illuminated by normally incident light is modified so that diffraction on the source side of the screen is taken into consideration and the energy transport across the aperture plane is described by continuous functions. The modified field expressions involve the sums and...

- Uncertainty propagation for NIST visible spectral standards
- Uncertainties in the NIST spectral standards for detectors and sources in the visible wavelength range are propagated from the high accuracy cryogenic radiometer measurements, taking correlations into account at every stage. Partial correlations between spectral values at different wavelengths, important for subsequent radiometric calculations, are estimated. Uncertainty propagation through fitting...
