in this paper, an exchange of letters between the philosopher jacques derrida and architect peter eisenman is used as a catalyst to discuss the material qualities of glass and its relationship with the concept of transparency in architecture. in his criticism of an architecture devoid of human qualities, derrida uses glass, defined through walter benjamin’s writings, as a hard and cold material...

This paper investigates the stability analysis of fuzzy relational dynamic systems. A new approach is introduced and a set of sufficient conditions is derived which sustains the unique globally asymptotically stable equilibrium point in a first-order fuzzy relational dynamic system with sumproduct fuzzy composition. This approach is also investigated for other types of fuzzy relational composit...

information asymmetry in stock market can increase the risk of investment which in turn increases the capital cost of firms. bhattacharya (1979) proposed a hypothesis that states dividend can act as a powerful signal in order to solve information asymmetry problem. we measured information asymmetry by lack of earnings transparency. therefore we examine the effect of earnings transparency on cap...

This study focused on the optimization of Al—Mg to CuZn34 friction stir lap welding (FSLW) process for optimal combination of rotational and traverse speeds in order to yield favorable fracture load using Grey relational analysis (GRA). First, the degree of freedom was calculated for the system. Then, the experiments based on the target values and number of considered levels, corresponding orth...

Despite the vital role of information in relational-oriented firms, there are limited studies on the impact of information quality on relationship marketing. To address this gap, this study develops a conceptual model to examine the impact of information quality on the successful implementation of relationship marketing by assessing the mediating role of salespeople's relational competency. The...

nowadays, in order to reach minimum production cost in machining operations, various optimization methods have been proposed. since turning operation has different parameters affecting the workpiece quality, it was selected as a complicated manufacturing method in this paper. to reach sufficient quality, all influencing parameters such as cutting speed, federate, depth of cut and tool rake angl...

Economic transparency will lead to economic stability and corruption decline. Thus the shortage of transparency mechanisms, laws and procedures will raise corruption and make it tough to cutout corruption. Also, loss of transparency in financial and economic system creates to instability, inappropriate allocation of resources, the boom of injustice and inequality and as a result paves the way f...

organizational transparency has been considered by many experts in the past two decades. in the previous studies more attention has been taken to disclosure of the information; and the relations between the concepts of organizational transparency, organizational culture and performance has not been considered in this article as set forth. therefore, current research has been studied the effect ...

In a quantum world, reference frames are ultimately systems too -- but what does it mean to "jump into the perspective of particle"? this work, we show that frame (QRF) transformations appear naturally as symmetries simple physical systems. This allows us rederive and generalize known QRF within an alternative, operationally transparent framework, shed new light on their structure interpretatio...
