T he study seeks to investigate both linear and nonlinear effects of oil price movement on critical macroeconomic variables (output, price and exchange rate) in Nigeria using ARDL modeling approach. Previous studies substantially relied on linear methods using VAR approach to unravel this links without a clear conclusion. In an attempt to seek better results in this study, we employ both l...

A micrometer-sized oil droplet of 4-octylaniline containing 5 mol % of an amphiphilic catalyst exhibited a self-propelled motion, producing tiny oil droplets, in an aqueous dispersion of an amphiphilic precursor of 4-octylaniline. The tiny droplets on the surface of the self-propelled droplet were conveyed to the posterior surface and released to the aqueous solution. Thus the persistent moveme...

Reciprocal inhibition between neuron pairs is a long-standing model for the mechanism by which circuits generate rhythmic animal movement patterns. This review shows that this model mechanism can explain the origins of cyclic movements in six different preparations for which the neuronal circuits are available. The overall function of reciprocal inhibition, when combined with a variety of dynam...

DEMANDS FOR POLITICAL ORTHODOXY seem to appear, at least in the twentieth century, in thirty-year cycles. Thus, in the 1930s, we witnessed the rise of Hitlerism and Stalinism, both of which were aimed as much on purging their respective parties of differences as providing the “masses” with ideological guidance. In the 1960s, politics shifted its ground from parties to movements, and hence the d...

this paper tries to survey the effective factors in creating an appropriate environment for improving advanced technologies in iranian national oil company and it offers some solutions for applying these technologies. in the beginning, the paper mentions the growing demand for oil more than its global supply in the years to come as well as the need to increase the oil reservoirs and recycling c...

PURPOSE To establish a social network of epilepsy lay organization in Brazil to provide advocacy for people with epilepsy and eventually form a powerful National Epilepsy movement. METHOD We actively searched for any associations, support groups or organizations related to epilepsy in the country by personal contacts, internet search and by telephone search. Contact was then established with ...
