Abstract This study investigates the corruption formation process in Iranian football. Data was collected using library studies as well 18 in-depth and semi-structured interviews with football industry stakeholders. The research data were analyzed through coding three stages: open, pivotal selective. Grounded Theory used to determine initial list of causes. Then, interpretive structural modelin...

The formation mechanism of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) was studied with the molecular dynamics simulation. Starting from randomly distributed carbon and Ni atoms, random cage structures of carbon atoms with a few Ni atoms were obtained after 6 ns simulation. Ni atoms on the random cage prohibited the complete closure and anneal of the cage structure into the fullerene structure. In t...

This study proposes the dispersion in daily net initiated order flow across brokers as a proxy for the level of noise trading in a stock, and applies this proxy to test some basic implications of market microstructure theory. We use data from the Australian Stock Exchange, a computerized limit order market where price, quantity, and broker identity for each incoming order are shown on broker sc...

An air parcel model has been used to study dynamic influences on cirrus cloud microphysical processes. Representative data selected from a measurement campaign carried out over southern Germany during March 1994 were used for a base-case model run where a modeled air parcel moved in a wave trajectory with a period similar to the measured Brunt–Väisälä frequency and an amplitude of about 30 m. S...

We construct an asymptotic (in a weak sense) solution corresponding to the shock wave formation in a special situation.
