In very general terms what we study is whether, in shaping justice beliefs, cultural factors are more important than social-structural ones, or vice versa. In view of transformation societies, country ...

in the present study, the effect of grain size on the austenite stability was studied by nanoindentationtests in a 304l stainless steel. thermomechanical processing based on cold rolling and annealing wasused to produce two different types of austenite: ultrafine grained (ufg) austenite with the averagegrain size of 0.65 μm and coarse grained (cg) austenite with the average grain size of 12 μm....

Although the word “autism” was first used by researchers in 1940s as an expressive term of children who are suffering from social and or emotional problems, definitive etiology of autism has not been figured out yet. Till now, no single factor could be claimed to be the cause of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) but rather, it is one of the disorders that result from the interplay between genetic ...

Relative to average earnings, median executive pay declined 0.34 log points from 1940 to 1949. We find that government regulation—including explicit salary restrictions and taxation—had, at best, a modest...
