Welfare programs are often implemented in-kind to promote outcomes that might not be realized under cash transfers. I use a randomized controlled trial of the Mexican government’s Food Assistance Program (‘PAL’) to test whether this form of paternalism is necessary, comparing precisely measured consumption and health outcomes under both inkind food and cash transfers. Importantly, I …nd that ho...

In this paper we obtain  exact solutions of the generalized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, which describes manyphysical processes in motion of turbulence and other unstable process systems.    The methods used  to determine the exact solutions of the underlying equation are the Lie group analysis  and the simplest equation method. The solutions obtained are  then plotted.

this paper describes the applicability of 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin, as a cheap, stable and commercially available catalyst, in the promotion of the synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydro-xanthenes (doxos) via the one-pot condensation of aldehydes and cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. this novel synthetic method has the advantages of high yields, short reaction times, low cost and availabilit...

climate change impacts are seen within growing numbers of cities in low- and middle-income countries, so there is growing interest in the adaptation and mitigation plans and programs put forward by city authorities. this paper aims to provide a better understanding of the constraints which cities face them in this subject by analyzing the case of tehran. city has a commitment to decentralizatio...

This paper describes the rainfall data generation processes, which were used to simplify the recharge model developed by Khazai and Spink. The principles of techniques used for single and two sites generation are discussed. The application of the techniques for extending the rainfall records at the existing stations and increasing arbitrarily the numbers of rain gauges within the catchment are ...

In this paper Lie’s formalism is applied to deduce classes of solutions of a nonlinear partial differential equation (nPDE) of second order with quadratic nonlinearity. The equation has the meaning of a field equation appearing in the formulation of kinetic models. Similarity solutions and transformations are given in a most general form derived to the first time in terms of reciprocal Jacobian...

This paper extends to the pro-$p$ Iwahori subgroup of $GL(2)$ over an unramified finite extension of $mathbb{Q}_p$ the presentation of the Iwasawa algebra obtained earlier by the author for the congruence subgroup of level one of $SL(2‎, ‎mathbb{Z}_p)$‎. ‎It then describes a natural base change map between the Iwasawa algebras or more correctly‎, ‎as it turns out‎, ‎between the global distribut...
