Architectural qualities is often valuated based on a describable nature with a more personal interpretation, such as living space, size of ground plot, the number of sanitation rooms, or standard points according to the property taxation.Models with values of a more measurable qualitative nature, such monetary parameters,are less used. Within other research areas, for example the environmental ...

There is a fundamental shift in how the problems confronting a practicing coastal manager are being defined. Coastal management began as a form of “environmental protection” and has evolved into a promising vehicle for progressing towards more sustainable forms of development. The world view upon which ICM is founded is different from the one that prompted initial coastal management efforts thr...

Abstract In a horizontally differentiated duopoly, green attribute (environmental quality) can be added to the products. Average quality generates positive externality entering Government’s objective function (and possibly consumers’ utility). A tax on “dirtiest” product decreases its environmental but it increases that of cleaner rival enough imply an average increase, achieving protection. Th...

The study "Nexus between Environmental Qualities, Institutional Quality, and FDI Inflows in Lower-income Countries" explores the correlations among environmental qualities, institutional quality, foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows lower-income countries. By examining these factors, endeavors to augment our comprehension of determinants offer valuable perspectives for policymakers investors...

Circadian clocks are endogenous oscillators driving daily rhythms in physiology and behavior. Synchronization of these timers to environmental light-dark cycles ('entrainment') is crucial for an organism's fitness. Little is known about which oscillator qualities determine entrainment, i.e., entrainment range, phase and amplitude. In a systematic theoretical and experimental study, we uncovered...

The high degree of parasitic variability in Heterodera glycines and its distribution in a wide range of soybean production systems present multiple challenges for management, which necessitate increased understanding of the biology of H. glycines. Soil amendments are being considered either as stand-alone and/or as part of integrated management approaches. A recycled municipal biosolid with nut...

The heat retention qualities of five different models of football helmets were investigated under four work levels and three environmental conditions. Analysis of data t indicated that a significant difference existed among helmets. Further analysis revealed a significant helmet X environnental condition interaction.

The aim of this paper is to propose a model of decision-making for lotteries. Lottery qualities are the key concepts of the theory. Qualities allow the derivation of optimal decision-making processes and are taken explicitly into account for lottery evaluation. Our contribution explains the major violations of the expected utility theory for decisions on two-point lotteries and shows the necess...
