We introduce classes of utility functions and production sets, called Leontief-free, which are applicable when goods are substitutes and utilities/production are sub-additive (to model intergood satiation). When goods are complements, the well studied Leontief utility functions do an adequate job; however, to the best of our knowledge, a similar concept for the case of goods that are substitute...

Accompanying myriad definitions of critical literacy is an absence of pedagogical models for implementing critical literacy in teacher education contexts. This action research explores critical literacy with pre-service and in-service teachers in teacher education courses offered in the United States. The primary data sources include online weekly discussions on course readings in the TESOL met...

The conventional functional form of the Constant-Elasticity-of-Substitution (CES) production function is a general nesting number other forms functions. Examples such functions include Leontief, Cobb–Douglas, and linear Nevertheless, CES specification still restrictive in multiple aspects. One example fact that marginal effect increasing input use always has to be increase variability output qu...

The authors develop a conceptual framework of the factors that motivate a retailer’s decision to rely on demand conditions and past prices in setting current and future prices. Specifically, they examine the circumstances under which retailers choose demand-based pricing versus past-price dependence for different brands and categories. Given scarce resources and costs of price adjustments, dema...

Torque control strategy is a common strategy to control robotic manipulators. However, it becomes complex duo to manipulator dynamics. In addition, position control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) is a complicated control. Therefore, tracking control of robots driven by PMSMs is a challenging problem. This article presents a novel tracking control of electrically driven robots wh...
