This study examines the relationship between above-market price (or overpricing), along with various housing attributes, and time on the market (TOM). The study covers nearly 4,000 transactions of marketed domestic units of different living tenures, flat sizes, price ranges, and other physical characteristics in the Hong Kong residential property market. The results show that factors such as th...

[1] Each summer large amounts of mineral dust from the Sahara are transported across the Atlantic and arrive at the Caribbean with far-reaching implications for climate in this region. In this paper we analyze summer season interannual variability of North African mineral dust over the Caribbean using the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS)/Nimbus 7 (1979–1992) and TOMS/Earth Probe (1998–20...

Separan AP-273, a polydisperse, high molecular weight (10(5)-10(7) dalton range), anionic polyacrylamide, demonstrates polymer drag reduction (Toms effect) in the flows of several substances including blood. That is, under appropriate conditions, pipe flow can be increased markedly for a given pressure gradient, sometimes threefold or more, by nanomolar concentrations of linear macropolymers. T...

Near-to-real time as well as “archive quality” Brewer total ozone observations, which are performed with well maintained and calibrated instruments over the Northern Hemisphere have been used for the validation of the total ozone column product of the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) aboard the NASA EOS-Aura satellite. During the commissioning phase of OMI, the near-to-real time ground-based d...

A generalization of Newton’s formula for the shear stress in a fluid is carried out by giving it power-law form and corresponding rheological relation written tensor form. Depending on exponent this ratio, one can come to description either laminar or turbulent flow regime. In latter case, there system differential equations with no-slip boundary condition. The proposed motion be useful, at lea...
