Mineralized tissue is vital to many characteristic adaptive phenotypes in vertebrates. Three primary tissues, enamel (enameloid), dentin, and bone, are found in the body armor of ancient agnathans and mammalian teeth, suggesting that these two organs are homologous. Mammalian enamel forms on enamel-specific proteins such as amelogenin, whereas dentin and bone form on collagen and many acidic pr...

Before 1970s, IO predominantly follows the paradigm of “structure-conduct-performance”, or often called the Harvard tradition, after Professor Joe Bain. The basic idea is that market structure determines how ...rms behave, which in turn determines the performance of the market. The research methodology is mainly empirical: running regressions on variables of market structures to see their e¤ect...

This research employs the Structure-Conduct-Performance (SCP) paradigm to analyze structure, conduct, and performance of cocoa industry in Indonesia during 2012-2014 period. Concentration ratio four largest companies (CR4) minimum efficiency scale (MES) is used as an indicator market structure industry. The conduct explained by capital-labor (CLR). While seen from price-cost margin (PCM), inter...

Structure, Conduct and Performance (SCP) is used as an analytical framework, to make relations amongst market structure, market conduct and market performance. The objective of this study was to analyze the factors, which affect SCP of livestock markets in the Butana area, Sudan in 2011. A total sample of 222 livestock traders were surveyed using structured questionnaire in seven primary and se...

Methane (CH4) is the second largest contributor to global warming among all greenhouses gases. A solar chimney power plant integrated with a photocatalytic reactor (SCPP-PCR) promising large-scale method for removing CH4 from atmosphere. This study used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) investigate performance and factors influencing oxidation of methane by SCPP-PCR system. The geometry SCPP s...

This paper deals with the Set Covering with Pairs Problem (SCPP). This problem is a generalization of the Set Covering Problem (SCP), which is known to be NP-hard. The difference between both problems is that, in the SCPP, one element of the universe is admitted to be covered if there are at least two specific objects chosen to cover it. In this context, three constructive heuristics, one local...

This study presents a novel hybrid solar chimney power plant (HSCPP) design. The HSCPP preserves the typical (SCPP), with an additional seawater pool at base and water sprinklers top. new design configuration offers opportunity to run system during daytime as traditional SCPP downdraft cooling tower night. performance of was analyzed in 16 cities Kingdom Saudi Arabia (KSA) that span entire geog...

Several well-known neuropsychological tests of working memory performance, hitherto thought to be unrelated, in fact share a common structure termed here the self-ordered selection paradigm. Examples include the subject-ordered pointing task, variants of the Corsi blocks test, the multiple-location search task, and the letter-recitation task. The defining features of the paradigm are outlined. ...
