1. Introduction Addressing the relationship between political order and development, Samuel Huntington (1968, p. 1) once stated, " the most important … distinction among countries concerns not their forms of government but their degree of government. " Events in Angola, Afghanistan, Sierra Leone and Zaire illustrate Huntington's point: Political order may not be sufficient, but, these cases sug...

objectives: mastectomy as a treatment for breast cancer can disturb marital satisfaction of many couples. in this way, existential anxieties stemming from this potentially deleterious event, and inefficient responses to them, could be mediating. the purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a rehabilitation method based on existential approach and olson's marital enrichm...

This short review re-explores the work of Mançur Olson. It takes a critical look at it by looking key aspects study on issues guild practices and monopoly. suggests that overall idea was explored author is not very different from Ibn Khaldun’s theory decadence (asabiyyah seeds decadence).

We study theoretically the bio-sensing capabilities of metal nanowire surface plasmons. As a specific example, we couple the nanowire to specific sites (bacteriochlorophyll) of the Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO) photosynthetic pigment protein complex. In this hybrid system, we find that when certain sites of the FMO complex are subject to either the suppression of inter-site transitions or are enti...

Mancur Olson’s institutional sclerosis hypothesis may be evident in the effects of interest groups on investment in physical capital. To test this proposition, we use cross sectional data on 42 countries for which information on the number of interest groups is available to estimate the effect of those groups on the share of GDP that goes into physical investment. The results indicate that inte...

Lymphoid tumors of the chicken have been shown to be readily transplantable by the use of viable cells. Pentimalli (29) and Olson (25, 27) have described the isolation of such strains from what was thought (28) were rare cases of neoplasia, but which had all the characteristics of the condition designated by Feldman and Olson (9) as lymphocytoma. Burmester and Prickett (7) reported the developm...

Abstract The high efficiency in excitation energy transfer observed the Fenna-Matthews-Olson light-harvesting complex green sulfur bacteria is due to its arrange of photo-pigments, called bacteriochlorophylls. They are central for photosynthetic process those being controversially associated long-lived coherence. study this protein and dynamics continues, trying understand environmental factors...
