The New World genus Lepidosina Marshall & Buck gen. n. is described including nine new and two previously described species: L. angusticercus Marshall & Buck sp. n. (Caribbean, Central and South America), L. argentinensis Marshall & Buck sp. n. (Argentina), L. cubensis Marshall & Buck sp. n. (Cuba), L. evanescens Marshall & Buck sp. n. (Central and South America), L. gibba (Spuler) comb. n. (Fl...

The fatigue cracks are observed in asphalt surfaces much more than ruts. This paper deals with the influence of carbon nano-tube on the fatigue life of asphalt mixtures. These samples are made up of the slabs cut by the asphalt cutting saw. Fatigue beams contain 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, and 1.5 percent of Carbon Nano-tube. The fatigue experiment was conducted using a 4-point semi-sinusoidal loadi...

This paper outlines and analyses the behaviours of small and medium enterprises with respect to the evaluation of electronic commerce investments, and the subsequent realisation of the anticipated benefits from those investments. The responses of executives who participated in the study suggested that on-going involvement in electronic commerce did not come cheaply. Nonetheless, our study sugge...

Marshall et al. [1] critique recent evolutionary explanation of decision-making biases, focusing on Johnson and Fow ler’s model of overconfidence [2] and Trivers’ model of self deception [3]. We agree with Marshall et al.’s central prem ise that a Bayesian decision-maker would also be able t optimize fitness in these settings (see their Box 2). Howev er, as their Figure 1 makes clear, the point...

Bivariate semi-logistic and Marshall-Olkin bivariate semi-logistic distributions are introduced. Some properties of these distributions are studied. First order autoregressive processes with bivariate semi-logistic and Marshall-Olkin bivariate semi-logistic distributions as marginals are introduced and studied.

For several years, the bituminous laboratory of the Joint High­ way Research Project has been concerned with the testing of bitu­ minous-aggregate mixtures and with the development of knowledge that would lead to an understanding of the properties of bituminous mixtures as satisfactory paving materials. At the Thirty-Eighth Annual Road School, a paper entitled, “Role of the Laboratory in the De...
