A resurgence of arguments for incorporating fairness considerations within domestic competition policies parallels the reemergence of free trade versus fair trade debates at the international level. Where the latter debate can be seen as the result of increasing discontent with globalization reflected in the rise of economic nationalism, the former is a response to a widespread decrease in the ...

It is widely believed that some puzzling and provocative remarks that Frege makes in his late writings indicate he rejected independence arguments in geometry, particularly arguments for the independence of the parallels axiom. I show that this is mistaken: Frege distinguished two approaches to independence arguments and his puzzling remarks apply only to one of them. Not only did Frege not rej...

The world is looking towards producing products which consume less power without compromising on quality of life. The increase in use of refrigeration and air conditioning appliances are contributing to global warming. The world wide temperatures are shooting up at an increasing rate. This paper presents a design of roll bond evaporator as the heat exchanger to provide cooling in room air condi...

Polio involvement and its relation to ability in terms of independence and perceived difficulty in activities in daily living (ADL) were studied in outpatients (median age 57 years) with poliomyelitis sequelae (n = 133). The use and need of assistive devices and housing conditions were recorded. The subjects had a high degree of independence in personal ADL, whereas more than 50% were dependent...

Testing (conditional) independence of multivariate random variables is a task central to statistical inference and modelling in general though unfortunately one for which to date there does not exist a practicable workflow. State-of-art workflows suffer from the need for heuristic or subjective manual choices, high computational complexity, or strong parametric assumptions. We address these pro...

for each country, national security in the most urgent and significant value and need, so each government tries to justify its policies and strategies in order to reach and preserve national security. acquiring national security is, people should share national interests by haying health, land integrity, independence, power, credits and all the values generally. they should be sure of this secu...

One of the most popular class of tests for independence between two random variables is the general class of rank statistics which are invariant under permutations. This class contains Spearman’s coefficient of rank correlation statistic, Fisher-Yates statistic, weighted Mann statistic and others. Under the null hypothesis of independence these test statistics have a permutation distribution th...
