In this article we solve four special cases of the truncated Hamburger moment problem (THMP) degree $2k$ with one or two missing moments in sequence. As corollaries obtain, by using appropriate substitutions, solutions to bivariate problems for curves. Namely, curves $y=x^3$ (first solved Fialkow), $y^2=x^3$, $y=x^4$ where a certain $2k+1$ is known and $y^3=x^4$ given. The main technique comple...

Business goals often conflict. Conflicting goals can come from within an organisation, or may appear as external threats: goals may be friendly or hostile. Relationships between goals therefore need to go beyond conventional and/or inclusion. This paper suggests an economical set of four relationships: threatens, mitigates, aggravates, conflicts with. It gives examples of three general types of...

This paper studies whether pro-environmental consumption choices are consistent with utility maximization and what role the consumption behavior of reference persons and one’s own past behavior play in this context. By combining data on individuals’ pro-environmental consumption from a unique data set with data on subjective well-being, we find that people could attain higher well-being (utilit...

In this paper, an image search tool that combines keyword and image content feature querying and search is presented. The developed search tool tries to bridge the gap between commercial search engines, which are based on keyword search, and CBIR (Content Based Image Retrieval) systems developed mostly in the academic field, designed to search based on image content. The tool is implemented by ...

A new method was introduced for frothing characterization of flotation frothers. Method uses water recovery to develop a new frothability index named water recovery index (WRI). New index was determined for some commercial frothers and results were compared with dynamic frothability index (DFI). Results showed that water recovery index values follow the order of A-65 13016 s/mol > DF-250 6292.4...

a green low-cost and reproducible yeast mediated synthesis of silver nanoparticles is reported. the synthesis is performed at room temperature. x-ray and transmission electron microscopy analyses are performed to ascertain the formation of ag nanoparticles. nanoparticles almost spherical in shape having a size of 6-20 nm are found.
