We investigate the analytical and empirical linkages between cash flow, uncertainty and firms’ capital investment behavior. Our empirical approach constructs measures of ownand market-specific uncertainty from firms’ daily stock returns and S&P 500 index returns along with a CAPM-based risk measure. Our results indicate that even in the presence of important firm-specific variables, uncertainty...

Fat has an important role in creating texture, color and viscosity; but, it might be a source of many diseases in human. Mayonnaise is one of the most widely used sauces that contains fat in its formulation. There is an increase demand in reduction of the amount of fat in the diet or use of unsaturated fat. In the present study, mayonnaise samples containing various amounts of sesame oil were p...

The studies of the behavior of fluid on the nano-level has shown to be an important means of influencing the characteristic of fluid must especially in the area of thermal conductivity. Giving relevance in numerous fields such as biomedicine, manufacturing, fuel cells and soon on. This article considers flow and heat transfer of viscous fluid conveying Gold nanoparticles through expanding or co...

high speed wind tunnels are widely used in the study of fluid flow behavior around various objects. the air flow in the starting step of supersonic wind tunnels is transient including strong shock waves caused by the interaction of the tunnel main stream and the boundary layer at walls. to arrive in running step, the tunnel must be designed so as these waves leave immediately the test section. ...

in the present study, physicochemical, rheological and textural properties of beta-glucan (bg) extracted from four iranian hull-less barley lines (ehds4, ehds18, aleli, cam-b) were investigated. two different methods namely, hot water (hw) and acidic (a) were used for extraction of beta-glucan. results showed that the highest amount of beta-glucan belonged to ehds4.the purity of hw extracted be...
