The present day seismic activity from a region reflects the active tectonics and can confirm the seismic potential of the seismogenic sources as they are modelled using the historical seismicity. This paper makes a comparative analysis of the last decade seismicity recorded in the Banat Seismic Region (western part of Romania) and the historical seismicity of the region (Mw≥4.0). Four significa...

The purpose of this work is to identify the positive and negative aspects of parties’ participation in the country’s modernization, which in turn, will help a country to determine the necessary steps to improve the social-economic development.

Different conclusions about quark nature of f0(980) based on the analysis of data on the reaction φ(1020) → γf0(980) make it necessary to perform detailed comparison of formulae used by various groups for the calculation of partial widths of radiative decays. We carry out a comparative analysis of methods of calculation of radiative decays like φ → γf0 and φ → γη performed by F.E. Close et al.,...

What is the future of comparative economics? This question has been with us since the collapse of the former communist regimes associated with “socialist centrally planned economies”. Various responses have been suggested in the literature during the postcommunist period of economic transformation and I will briefly sketch a few of them below (see section 1). But no one could imagine that a pos...

This research article reports the findings of a survey-based comparative study on current IT utilization by 3PL firms in the United States (US) and the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The findings reveal that in general the level of IT utilization and IT focus of 3PL firms in the PRC are lower than that of their counterparts in the US. This may result in a bigger gap between customer expectat...
