Corrosion of metal surfaces amongst other problems is one major disaster militating against proper functioning of the oil and gas and other manufacturing industries. To therefore lessen the risk, organic corrosion inhibitors have been applied to lessen the rate of corrosion and its effects. However, materials with optimal properties, better than content that allow corrosion are used for this em...

This research note draws the attention to the harmful consequence of a serious lack of empirical research in the field of International Human Resource Management: myth-building on the basis of one or two publications. The apparent myth of high expatriate failure rates is shortly discussed. To prevent another myth from appearing, this time in the field of staffing policies, this research note pr...

The re-evaluation of the scientific method at the 20th marked the inductive method as the scientific reasoning. In the contemporary science, the falsifiability plays an important role. Particularly, the science is considered to be a collection of proposition which describe the observational realities which can be falsify throughout the empirical experiments. Economics as a contemporary science ...

The diversity of life on Earth raises the question of whether it is possible to have a single theoretical description of the quantitative aspects of the organization of metabolism for all organisms. However, similarities between organisms, such as von Bertalanffy's growth curve and Kleiber's law on metabolic rate, suggest that mechanisms that control the uptake and use of metabolites are common...

Purpose – This article examines the notion of value propositions (promises of reciprocal value between service providers and their customers), value-in-exchange and value-in-use, all within the conceptual context of service-dominant (S-D) logic. Design/methodology/approach – Responding to calls in the recent literature for an academic critique of S-D logic, its key constructs, and its applicati...

Empirical studies into the governance of Information Technology (IT) have advanced our understanding of the mechanisms used to control the management of IT. However, there has been relatively little research into the formulation of a theoretical model of IT governance that explains and organises the growing collection of mechanisms into a coherent whole. To further advance the concept of the co...

In this paper a correlation between performance of corrosion inhibitors and quantum chemical, thermodynamic parameters has been made. The Quantum chemical calculations were done using semi-empirical method (PM3). The Inhibition efficiency (IE) is predicted for some Nitrogen Sulfur compounds. The electronic parameters entering our model are the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital EH...

Abstract I propose the ‘Propositional Account’ of effective quantum field theories. According to Propositional Account, each theory expresses propositions about various physical items: fields, interactions, and more. In addition, two theories are physically equivalent just in case they express same propositions. As explain, Account is scientifically naturalistic, since it invokes terms principl...

Most of us have at one point speculated about why one individual grew up to be honest and fair while another became wicked and untrustworthy. In the current review, we present the case that new directions in the empirical study of moral personality development are needed. We set the stage for this future work by presenting six propositions that should serve as the foundation for future research...
