Price Dispersion in the Lab and on the Internet: Theory and Evidence

Ab initio study of the structural, mechanical and thermal properties of (B, Al and Ga)-N nanotubes (4,0)

In this work we use density functional theory based on the ultra-soft pseudo-potential to calculate thestructural, mechanical and thermal properties of narrow single walled BN, AlN and GaN nanotubes.The electron-electron interactions were expressed within the local density approximation (LDA). Wehave also obtained the Phonon dispersion and elastic constants of these nanotubes using the densityf...

An analysis of factors affecting on customers’ adoption of internet-banking services using the graph theory

The rapid development of Internet and electronic businesses have stimulated the banking sector towards encouraging customers to internet banking (IB), However, the evidence indicates a lack of interest in the use of IB services. Therefore, this paper aims to identify affecting factors on customer adoption from IB and measure the influence of each factor on IB adoption. Based on an explorative l...

Inflation And Relative Price Dispersion: Evidence For Iran

Internet addiction and its risk factors based on the theory of planned behavior among boy students

The internet use and internet addiction is increasingly considerable among the students and university students. The current study aimed to determine the factors of internet addiction based on the planned behavior theory among boy students of the dormitories of Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 2012. In the descriptive-analytical study that was carried out by cluster sampling on 150 boy...

The Effects of Oil Price Movement on Nigerian Macroeconomic Variables: Evidence from Linear near and Nonlinear ARDL Modelling

T he study seeks to investigate both linear and nonlinear effects of oil price movement on critical macroeconomic variables (output, price and exchange rate) in Nigeria using ARDL modeling approach. Previous studies substantially relied on linear methods using VAR approach to unravel this links without a clear conclusion. In an attempt to seek better results in this study, we employ both l...
