Economists recognize that results from simulation models are dependent, sometimes highly dependent, on values employed for critical exogenous variables. To account for this, analysts sometimes conduct sensitivity analysis with respect to key exogenous variables. This paper presents a practical approach for conducting systematic sensitivity analysis, called Gaussian quadrature. The approach view...

objective: this study aimed to provide a normative study documenting how 114 five-seven year-old non-‎patient iranian children respond to the rorschach test. we compared this especial sample to ‎international normative reference values for the comprehensive system (cs).‎ method: one hundred fourteen 5- 7- year-old non-patient iranian children were recruited from public ‎schools. using five chil...

a complexometric method for the determination of titanium in the presence of other metal ions based on the selective masking ability of 5-sulphosalicylic acid towards titanium is described. titanium (iv) present in a given sample solution is complexed with a known excess of edta and surplus edta is titrated against zinc sulphate solution at ph 5-6 using xylenol orange as the indicator. a known ...

I give an overview of the ability of a high energy μμ collider to discover new particles and interactions. I start with heavy fermions which will be the most straightforward to produce and observe. I then discuss single leptoquark production which is produced via the quark content of the photon and the discovery potential for extra gauge bosons which will manifest themselves via deviations of o...

A method for the determination of pesticide residues in water and sediment was developed using the QuEChERS method followed by gas chromatography--mass spectrometry. The method was validated in terms of accuracy, specificity, linearity, detection and quantification limits. The recovery percentages obtained for the pesticides in water at different concentrations ranged from 63 to 116%, with rela...

It is often possible to construct unidimensional scales of multidimensional stimuli. Thurstonian scaling theory predicts that the standard deviations of differences in unidimensional paired-comparisons scaling of such stimuli should covary with the qualitative similarity between the stimuli being compared. In a test of this prediction, 78 5s judged 11 facial expressions from the Lightfoot serie...

We study the deformed kinematics of point particles in the Hořava theory of gravity. This is achieved by considering particles as the optical limit of fields with a generalized Klein-Gordon action. We derive the deformed geodesic equation and study in detail the cases of flat and spherically symmetric (Schwarzschild-like) spacetimes. As the theory is not invariant under local Lorenz transformat...
