This paper provides an original study into how democratization and globalization in‡uence transnational terrorism — examining the motives of terrorists and how democratic institutions and international integration in‡uence non-state economic actors. We employ a gravity model to investigate the relative importance of globalization and democratization on transnational terrorism and external con‡i...

We consider solutions of the field equations for the large N dilaton gravity model in 1 + 1 dimensions of Callan, Giddings, Harvey, and Strominger (CGHS). We find time dependant solutions in the weak coupling region with finite mass and vanishing flux, as well as solutions with lie entirely in the Liouville region.

We show that a canonical transformation converts, up to a boundary term, a generic 2D dilaton gravity model into a bosonic string theory with a Minkowskian target space.

in this study, the incomplete gamma function, an exponential function, a mixed-log function and a polynomial function were evaluated to describe the lactation curve in moroccan holstein-friesian dairy cows. data from 1990 to 1999, comprising 77130 monthly milk yields of 6029 dairy cows in 280 dairy herds, were used. edits were carried out by considering the lactation length (5 d and

determining landslide size could be a difficult and expensive task. in this research, size parameters of 142 landslides recognized in tajan river basin, northern iran, have been assessed. the dataset was prepared through the extensive field surveys and using the satellite imagery available via google earth. dependence between landslides area (a-m2), volume (v-m3), and depth (d-m) was appointed ...

Present paper is an attempt to estimate the impact of Economic and Geographic indicators in trade among Islamic countries according to a bilateral trade model as Gravity model, and study the relationship between Economy, Geography and Trade in this way. Fixed effect version of the panel data estimation producer with OIC member country data spanning over the 2007–2012. The result of this researc...

intra-industry trade (iit) comprises of instantaneous imports and exports of goods and services which are handled in a same industry. the importance of iit between trading partners refers to those tradable products that provide them with diversity and high technology. to expand its foreign trade relations, iran indeed requires such trade patterns that include diversification of goods and servic...
