Within the epidemic game literature, there is an inconsistency over whether increases in infection risk can discourage prevention practices. In one theory, investments in social distancing and prophylaxis increase monotonely with infection pressure, while in another, there is a turning-point beyond which investments drop off. To-date, the reasons for this difference have been unclear. This arti...

in this research, the effect of the first order magnetic field on the ground-state of a centered hydrogenic donor impurity in a gaas/alas spherical quantum dot has been calculated. the perturbation method has been used within the framework of effective mass approximation for these calculations. overall, the analysis shows that a proper choice of quantum dot radius and magnetic field can signifi...

after around a hundred years of being without any record of occurrence of paracobitis rhadinaea, a species of nemacheiline loach, in sistan basin, southeast of iran, the year 2012 was the turning point of wild life in this area. twenty-five specimens were caught from chahnimeh reservoir, a water body adjacent to the hamoun wetland in sistan basin. morphometric and meristic characteristics were ...

We determine the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) of binary neutron stars (BNSs) by performing dynamical simulations in full general relativity. Evolving quasiequilibrium (QE) binaries that begin at different separations, we bracket the location of the ISCO by distinguishing stable circular orbits from unstable plunges. We study Gamma=2 polytropes of varying compactions in both corotation...

Abstract This research has aimed to examine the feedback effects between economic growth and environmental degradation through health that is one of human capital elements and also the consequences of such these relationships on economic convergence process during the period 1990-2013 for 60 developing countries in framework of simultaneous equations model by using unbalanced panel data analysi...

the gaseous composition of the earth's atmosphere is changing at an accelerated rate because of the influence of human activities. different factors can cause increasing air contamination such as co2. understanding factors affecting atmosphere gaseous change is important for management and reducing air contaminants. the aim of this paper is to investigate factors affecting on co2 emission ...

This paper uses unique data from Lebanon to explore the factors affecting promotion in academia. We use Ordered Probit model answer research question empirically. The results indicate that number of publications is an essential factor decisions. Moreover, our findings a quadratic relationship between age and promotion, reaching peak at 62 years. After this turning point, become negatively corre...
