In the context of the maximizing behaviour assumption (Becker, 1976), an individual usually maximizes the utility function, minimizes the cost or, finally, can also maximizes the profit function in consumption, with each of these three optimization problems providing a type of demand function: the Marshallian, the Hicksian, and the Frischian. In all three cases, an important concept for both th...

In analogy to 4-b-substituted benzoyl)-N-methylpyridinium cations (1 -X's), the title species (2-X's, -X = -0CH3, -CH3, -H, -Br, -COCH3, -N02) undergo two reversible, well-separated (E1122650 mV) one-electron reductions. The effect of substitution on the reduction potentials of 2-X's is much weaker than the effect of the same substituents on 1-X's: the Hammett p-values are 0.80 and 0.93 for the...

Methotrexate (MTX) is widely used in the treatment of a number of oncological and hematological diseases. Due to its known limitations, MTX is often conjugated with different carriers to obtain amended forms of the drug. In this study, the potential influence of the substitution level (loading ratio) of the dextran T10- and T40-based MTX conjugates (D-MTX) on their properties were investigated ...

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-...

We studied the dilute substitution effect on magnetic and transport properties in an unstable ferromagnet CeFe2 with a C15 cubic Laves-phase structure. In the Co substitution system Ce(Fe12xCox)2 with x<0.10, while the Curie temperature TC decreases with increasing the Co concentration, an antiferromagnetic ordering appears in the low temperature region for x^0.05, and the transition temperatur...

The paper reports on the effect of substituting Mn for Fe on the magnetostrictive and related properties of Fe81−xMnxGa19 alloys. Samples of composition were prepared in polycrystalline form and were all single phase BCC. It is shown that the magnetostriction observed in Fe81Ga19 can be enhanced up to about 11% by Mn substitution with a maximum effect at x = 8. The change in the magnetostrictiv...

Rotationally resolved resonance enhanced multiphoton ionisation spectra of the B̃(1)E'' state of NH2D are presented and analysed. The analysis indicates a small (34.9 cm(-1)) lifting of the vibronic degeneracy of the zero point level, approximately equal in sign but opposite in magnitude to the splitting observed in NHD2 in previous work. This observation is consistent with previous measurements...

In part A, the effect of varying short-chain alkyl substitution on the spectroscopic properties of cyanine dyes was examined. Molar absorptivities and quantum yields were determined for groups of pentamethine and heptamethine dyes for which the substitution of the indole nitrogen was varied. For both sets of dyes, increasing alkyl chain length did not significantly change quantum yield or molar...
