Because consumers are able to buy products from the cheapest vendor, and workers are able to take jobs that offer the highest wages. But if trade is such a good idea, why do non-economists find the idea so puzzling, and even dangerous? The purpose of ...

Polarimetric studies of comet Halley

In the present work, the non-spherical grain characteristics of comet Halley are analysed using the T-matrix method at λ= 0.365,0.485 and 0.684μm respectively. In order to analyse the polarisation data of comet Halley, the dust size distribution function derived by Das et al. (2004) for comet Halley is used in the present work. The size range of the grains is taken to be 0.01μm≤ s ≤ 3μm. Using ...
