Section II presents the empirical results of this study. While the underlying econometric model follows the standard ‘new growth’ literature procedure of regression analysis in a cross-section of countries, it goes beyond the existing studies in drawing on a data set including proxies for technical progress and educational attainment as well as devoting special attention to different levels of ...

Pror.*^ ? ns' interposition operation for prolapse ?aentia. The principle of the Watkins' operation is based on separating the bladder from the anterior wall of the nterus and transposing its attachment to the posterior wall, so that the uterus is left in a position to support the entire bladder. Watkins performed his first operation in 1898. Several modifications, notably that of Wertheim, hav...

This paper describes one department's attempt to deal with one of the most salient aspect of the secondary-tertiary interface, namely, students' lack of previous experience with mathematical discourse, notion of proof, and proof-techniques. A proactive approach is taken by devoting a one-semester course speci cally for discussing proofs. Examples of the approach taken as well as of some of the ...

As a kind of mode and stage, Eco-Industrial Parks (EIPs) is of great importance in developing circular economy. Therefore, inquiring deeply into the theory of EIPs and devoting great efforts into its practice constitute primary projects of developing circular economy. This paper analyzes the interrelationship between circular economy and eco-industry, i.e. the intrinsic quality of circular econ...

We develop a decision-theoretic method that yields approximate, low cost troubleshooting plans by making more relevant observations and devoting more time to generate a plan. The method is tested against other methods on three different problems in an experimental setting. Sensitivity analysis of the parameters is also carried out. The method yields low cost troubleshooting plans by spending su...

"As [Chris] Scaturro has suggested for years, the name Ulysses S. Grant indeed belongs in Pantheon with other greatest of American heroes. What had been written his so long is a historical disgrace and sad commentary that bygone community. His 'reputational renaissance' overdue, this piece literature just one more recent convincing development will allow to earn do."
