We exploit exogenous variation in local government revenues and new data on democratic Nigeria to study these questions. find strong link between conflict. Conflicts are highly organized concentrated districts time-periods with unelected governments. Once governments ele...

This paper employs one-dimensional numerical ground response analysis models to investigate seismic response of shallow cohesive and non-cohesive soil deposits on vertical propagation of horizontal shear waves. Soil response is modelled by traditional equivalent-linear (EL) frequency-domain analysis using DEEPSOIL software and nonlinear (NL) time-domain analysis using OPENSEES software. The ana...

In this study, the effects of cohesiveness soil in area where foundation will be built, and earthquake risk region were examined on construction costs diaphragm wall by well method. Within scope not only is cohesive or non-cohesive, but also relative density 0%, 50% 100%, are discussed. addition, different conditions such as low, medium high taken into consideration. Thus, cost analyses carried...

Despite the body of research on textbook evaluation from the discourse analysis perspective, cohesive devices have rarely been analyzed in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) textbooks. The acquisition and use of cohesive devices is inherent to naturalistic communication, including business interactions. Hence, L2 learners of business English should be exposed to these devices through cohesion-...
