hysteresis has been widely recognized in the soil water relationship. in this paper, a detailed review of hysteresis was performed in relation to its models. so far, different models have been suggested to describe hysteresis in the water retention curve (wrc) that could be categorized into two main groups: conceptual and empirical models. the models in the first group are based on the domain t...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the dynamic dividend policy of the firms in Korea. In particular, this study empirically tests whether Korean firms follow stable dividend policies as in developed markets where dividend smoothing is a stylized fact. The paper also identifies firm-level factors that influence the degree of dividend smoothing. For this purpose, 299 firms listed on Kore...

in the present work a two dimensional numerical investigation of steam flows in a turbine blade passage is performed. a finite volume approach has been used and the pressure–velocity coupling is resolved using the simple algorithm. the purpose of this paper is to find that one of the used turbulent models is better for this kind of studies. a structured mesh arrangement with boundary layer mesh...

This paper explores a model based on agents with heterogenous beliefs facing short sales restrictions, and its explanation for the rise, persistence, and eventual fall of Internet stock prices. First, we document substantial short sale restrictions for Internet stocks. Second, using data on Internet holdings and block trades, we show a link between heterogeneity and price e¡ects for Internet st...

in this research between 3-dimensional and axisymmetric modeling for movement of nano-particles in passing through a aerodynamic lens, and also between these models and famous model of wang & liu was compared. for this purpose, output of nano-particles penetration, divergence angel, and nano-particle velocity with wang & liu model was compared. geometrical model used for aerodynamic lens compar...
