This study examined print media coverage of tobacco farmers from the perspective of agenda setting, or the extent to which information is available to the public and perceived as important. A content analysis of 743 articles published between January 1, 1995 and June 30, 1997 was completed. The number of articles increased from 1995 to 1997. Of the topics analyzed, articles on tobacco settlemen...

the present research proposes and optimizes the performance of a novel solar-driven combined cooling, heating, and power (cchp) kalina system for two seasons—winter and summer—based on exergy, exergo-economic, and exergo-environmental concepts applying a non-dominated sort genetic algorithm-ii (nsga-ii) technique. three criteria, i.e. daily exergy efficiency, total product cost rate, and total ...

We use a unique rich newly built data set for German manufacturing enterprises to investigate the relationship between product diversification and the stability of sales and employment. We find that contrary to portfolio theoretic considerations more diversified firms exhibit a higher variability of sales and employment. However, the effects are negligibly small from an economics point of view.

A k-total edge product cordial labeling is a variant of the well-known cordial labeling. In this paper we characterize graphs admitting a 2total edge product cordial labeling. We also show that dense graphs and regular graphs of degree 2(k − 1) admit a k-total edge product cordial labeling.

Changes in credit risk may arise when either the value or the risk of corporate assets changes. Changes in the equity value associated with the changes in the asset value and changes in asset risk can be characterized into potentially countervailing direct and indirect effects. The indirect effect of risk on equity value is a function of factors that affect the debt value of including leverage,...

Let denote the Cartesian product of graphs and A total dominating set of with no isolated vertex is a set of vertices of such that every vertex is adjacent to a vertex in The total domination number of is the minimum cardinality of a total dominating set. In this paper, we give a new lower bound of total domination number of using parameters total domination, packing and -domination numbers of ...

The evolution of supply chain management and practice has had an integral and expanding role in contemporary global economic and socio-political change over the past 25 years or so. This role is moving closer to centre stage with the emergence of business models equating to ‘total product systems’. The impacts of advanced supply chain practice include driving fundamental changes in approach to ...
