Does Market Potential Matter? Evidence on the Impact of Market Potential on Economic Growth in Iranian Provinces

T he market potential is an indicator showing the level of market access and national demand for products of a region. The aim of this study is to study the effect of market potential on regional economic growth in 28 Iranian provinces over the years 2001–2011. In order to do that, a model of regional growth was estimated by using Spatial Dynamic Panel Data technique. This technique ...

Quark Matter with a Chiral Chemical Potential

In this talk, we report the results discussed in [1], related to the phase structure of hot quark matter in presence of a background of chiral charge density, n5. The latter is introduced in the simplest way possible, namely by virtue of a chemical potential, μ5, conjugated to n5. In more detail, after a brief introduction and list of motivations of this kind of study, we discuss the interplay ...

A matter of potential concern: natural organic matter alters the electrical properties of fish gills.

Natural organic matter (NOM) is an important constituent of aquatic environments; however, its influence on aquatic biota remains poorly studied. In the current study, NOM was isolated from nine different sites in southern Ontario, Canada, by the on-site treatment of water by reverse osmosis, followed by cation exchange. NOM from each site was reconstituted to 10 mg of C/L and pH 7.0 and expose...

Mapping the 3-D Dark Matter Potential with Weak Shear

We investigate the practical implementation of Taylor’s (2002) 3-dimensional gravitational potential reconstruction method using weak gravitational lensing, together with the requisite reconstruction of the lensing potential. This methodology calculates the 3-D gravitational potential given a knowledge of shear estimates and redshifts for a set of galaxies. We analytically estimate the noise ex...
