abstract geopedology is a systematic approach of geomorphic analysis for soil mapping which focuses the field operation mainly on sample area. the purpose of this study is to determine the credibility of generalization of the results of geopedological approach for similar landforms in the borujen region, using diversity and similarity indices in a soil taxonomic hierarchical structure. after a ...

Economic evaluations are essential for assessing the desirability of biodiversity conservation. This article highlights significant advances in theories and methods of economic evaluation and their relevance and limitations as a guide to biodiversity conservation; considers the implications of the phylogenetic similarity principle for the survival of species; discusses consequences of the Noah'...

Contrary to traditional biological arguments, the differential susceptibility model suggests genotype may moderate rather than mediate parent-child economic similarity. Using family fixed effects models of Add Health sibling data, I investigate the relationship between an index of sensitive genotypes and intergenerational mobility. Full, same sex sibling comparisons hold constant parental chara...

Rural development means as overall development of rural areas social, economic, political and cultural so that the people are to lead a pleasant life. Agriculture plays the most important and decisive role in rural development. Infect, nobody can deny this fact that most of the population in India is still living in villages and their livelihood is depending on agriculture. Therefore, we rightl...

Since the industrial revolution ushered in the economic benefits of similarity, standardization has become a hybrid of technical design and political processes with major impact on markets, social welfare, and economic activity. Standards increasingly develop outside government regulatory venues in consortia and other forms of voluntary consensus bodies involving collaboration among private sec...

Uncertainty has an almost negligible impact on project value in the standard economic model. I show that a comprehensive evaluation of uncertainty and uncertainty attitude changes this picture fundamentally. The illustration of this result relies on the discount rate, which is the crucial determinant in balancing immediate costs against future benefits, and the single most important determinant...

Air pollution has become one of the key environmental concerns in the urban sustainable development. It is important to evaluate the impact of air pollution on socioeconomic development since it is the prerequisite to enforce an effective prevention policy of air pollution. In this paper, we model the impact of air pollution on the urban economic development as a Multiple Criteria Decision Maki...

The main result of this paper is a representation theorem for time preferences (on the prize-time space) that cover a variety of time preference models considered in the experimental and theoretical literature on intertemporal choice. In particular, along with many models induced by similarity relations on time and outcomes, exponential, quasi-hyperbolic, hyperbolic, subadditive, and intransiti...

We measure the “information content” of online economic networks – sets of connected entities where links are created by realizations of shared prior outcomes. We conjecture that such electronic networks contain information about similarity in latent preferences across actors that are not captured by observable product or consumer features. We provide a methodology for measuring this informatio...

‎this paper obtains the exact solutions of the wave equation as a second-order partial differential equation (pde)‎. ‎we are going to calculate polynomial and non-polynomial exact solutions by using lie point symmetry‎. ‎we demonstrate the generation of such polynomial through the medium of the group theoretical properties of the equation‎. ‎a generalized procedure for polynomial solution is pr...
