The determination of halides is of interest in many chemical investigations. For example, in a recent determination of the atomic weight of chlorine[l] * it was necessary to determine the chloride content of dilute solutions with high precision. For such applications, coulometric titration is particularly advantageous because it involves a minimum of manipulation. A further advantage is that th...

There is no single schedule of legal fees and the way they are calculated; a rational model of fee determination is acutely needed. This paper presents a decision support system called Rho that allows the user to enter the internal and external data into a set of decision models to determine the strategic pricing for law ®rms. The paper describes the main features of the system, the optimizatio...

The proposition that trade causes economic growth is a rich in international economic theory. Even so, how best to estimate and test for the effects of trade on economic growth remains a challenge to-date, mainly because of the joint determination of the empirical measures of both trade and economic growth. Professors Jeffrey Frankel and David Romer have offered and employed an insightful metho...

We determine the primordial helium mass fraction Yp using 93 spectra of 86 low-metallicity extragalactic H ii regions. This sample constitutes the largest and most homogeneous high-quality data sets in existence for the determination of Yp. For comparison and to improve the statistics in our investigation of systematic effects affecting the Yp determination, we have also considered a sample of ...

This article analyzes an asymmetric rent-seeking contest with free riding where valuation on the prize (rent) and effectiveness of rent-seeking effort may differ among agents and the victory of an agent may not exclude some agents other than the winner of the contest to consume the prize of the contest. After proving the unique existence of pure-strategy Nash equilibrium, this article examines ...

The Self-Determination Theory Motivation theorists study why people behave as they do. Motivation itself can derive from external factors like pressure from another person or fear of consequences, internal factors like a feeling of accomplishment, or both. When motivation is intrinsic, an individual does something because he or she wants to. People on dialysis who want to limit their fluids to ...

Employees' failures to follow information security policy can be costly to organizations, causing organizations to implement security controls to motivate secure behavior. Information security research has explored many control-related motivations (e.g., self-efficacy, response efficacy, and behavioral control) in the context of ISP compliance; however, the behavioral effects of perceptions of ...
