T   he completed MCI includes three main channels of interest rate, exchange rate and credit rate. In developing countries such as Iran, this indicator, which contains a credit channel, could be better used to illustrate the country’s monetary condition. This study has been done to calculate this index for the period of 1978–2012. For this purpose, the function of the total economy demand ...

While the relationship between stock market return and oil price is of great interest to researchers, previous studies do not investigate stock market return with petrochemical products market. In this paper, we analyzed the relationship between prices of main petrochemical products and stock returns of petrochemical companies in Tehran stock exchange. Using a panel data model and GLS estimatio...

The pinoresinol unit is one of the principal interunit linkages in lignin. As such, its chemistry and properties are of major importance in understanding the behavior or the polymer. This work examines the homolytic cleavage of the pinoresinol system, representing the initial step in thermal degradation. The bond dissociation enthalpy of this reaction has been evaluated using M06-2X density fun...

Therapy for mild hemophilia A consists of desmopressin acetate (1-deamino[8-D-arginine]-vasopressin; desmopressin; DDAVP), which increases factor VIII and von Willebrand factor antigen (VWF:Ag) levels two-fold to six-fold through endogenous release from endothelial cells [1]. The effect of desmopressin varies between patients, and has been suggested to depend on the hemophilia-causing mutation ...

The marine surveying is one of the branches of geomatics, and the sea navigational affairs project construction belongs to the marine surveying application category. The advent of GPS technology creates a new hightech avenue for marine surveying. This paper mainly discussed the application of GPS-RTK technologies in marine surveying. Taking the project of Yangkou manmade island in Nantong city ...

Addition of benzyne to C70 results in four isomeric monoadducts (compounds 1a-d) in a 42:35: 13:10 ratio as determined by 1H NMR. These compounds were separated by repeated passes through HPLC columns. The major isomer (1a) resulted from addition to the highly pyramidalized C1-C2 bond as shown by 13C NMR and UV/vis spectroscopy. The structure of the C1-C2 adduct (1a) was confirmed by X-ray crys...

Electrochemical machining is based on the anodic dissolution of most metals and generates high quality polished surfaces. However, ferrite-perlite 42CrMo4 steel reveals local optical changes at surface after electrochemical finishing, such as a widely variable finish from shiny (reflective) to rough (dark) surfaces even one processing step. The different areas (AISI 4140) are studied by electro...
