Regulatory policy in telecommunications is desperately in need of mid-level theory. There is widespread consensus that regulators should try to promote competition. There is also bitter contention about what this implies for particular industry battles. For example, an industry observer declared, “Competition should be the policy. And code that enables competition should be the rule.” He then w...

In recent years, electrochemical supercapacitors have received considerable attention from many researchers. Metal oxides such as chromium oxide with high redox activity, high specific capacity, and excellent reversibility are suitable alternatives to ruthenium oxide in supercapacitor applications. In this study, first, graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized by the modified Hummers method. The syn...

Psychophysical two-tone suppression and the growth of the (2f• --f2} and • --f•) distortion products were measured in four normal-hearing young adults using a forward-masking paradigm. The stimulus parameters investigated were: (1)f• = 750 and 3000 Hz; (2)f2/f• = 1.1 l, 1.26, and 1.41; (3) L• = 50, 65, 80, and 90 dB SPL; and (4) L2 -L• varied from -20 to + 20 dB in 10-dB increments. It appears ...

Crystallographic analyses of x-ray and neutron diffraction data have provided a definitive structural representation of fHRh[P(O-i-C3H7)3J2j2 and IHRhIP(OCH3)31213. These polynuclear hydrides are generated from square planar H2RhIP(OR)3J2 units by edge (hydrogen atom) sharing and by vertex (hydrogen atom) sharing to form the dimeric and trimeric structures, respectively. The square-planar units...

By 2050, half of the net increase in world’s population is expected to reside sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), driving high urbanization rates and drastic land cover changes. However, data-scarce environment SSA limits our understanding urban dynamics region. In this context, Earth Observation (EO) an opportunity gather accurate up-to-date spatial information on extents. During last decade, adoption o...
