We will summarize results from recent observations of binary systems in near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), main belt asteroids (MBAs), and trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). Arecibo radar observations by Taylor et al. [1] showed that Apollo-type NEA 2004 DC is a binary asteroid. Range-Doppler data from Arecibo and Goldstone reveal a non-circular orbit (e ~ 0.2) despite a small orbital separation (a ~ 0....

background detergents and difficulties of their presence in the water and wastewater cause various problems such as foam production, anomalies in the growth of algae, and accumulation and dispersion in aqueous environments. objectives the aim of this study was to examine and compare the moving bed biofilm reactor with another reactor without media (carries) for anionic surfactants removal. mate...

Soil biofumigation is a widely used farming practice for soil-borne disease management in vegetable crops. the of incorporation fresh plant materials from members Brassicaceae family into soil which release antimicrobial volatile organic compounds (VOCs), namely glucosinolates and their hydrolysis products. However, VOCs may affect non-target beneficial biota including microbial biocontrol agen...

as quickly, in May 1637, tulip-bulb prices returned to their previous values. The causes of this dramatic rise and fall remain in dispute. The event occurred during the Dutch Golden Age, when stock exchanges, central banking, and many of the fundamental structures that govern contemporary capital markets and the approaches deployed by MBAs today were developed. One modern economic analysis sugg...

Feature Open access, freely available online " I didn't want to be just another MBA, " says Pascal Herzer, one of the fi rst recipients of a new graduate credential known as the professional science master's, or PSM. " Not many people have the ability to understand science and business, and [the PSM] program was designed for that very purpose. " PSMs are two-year American master's degrees fi na...

Using the S-band radar at Arecibo Observatory, we observed six new M-class main-belt asteroids (MBAs), and re-observed one, bringing the total number of Tholen M-class asteroids observed with radar to 19. The mean radar albedo for all our targets is r̂OC 1⁄4 0:28 0:13, significantly higher than the mean radar albedo of every other class (Magri, C., Nolan, M.C., Ostro, S.J., Giorgini, J.D. [2007]...

This paper experimentally investigates the determinants of the deviation between potential and realized value creation in strategic alliances. To better understand how decision making in alliances may influence success, we use an experimental design that juxtaposes two important factors that affect alliance members’ decisions: economic incentives and communication. The evidence derived from our...

In the framework of EuroNEAR network several databases around the world were datamined. The main scientifi c objective was the astrometry of Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) for both precovery and secure orbits of these objects. The article presents few aspects of data-mining and the developed procedures for accomplishing these objectives. Introduction EuroNEAR is a network composed by both astronom...
