The aerial oxidation of hydroquinone in a freshly prepared developer solution at 20°C has been studied through the measurement of concentration changes by a spectrophotometric method. The concentration of consumed hydroquinone is directly proportional to time, and the equation tIl2 = C, / 0.0786 was obtained to calculate the half-life of the developer. In this equation, the half-life is in ...

in this study, the notions of homelessness and unhomeliness are studied in 2 novels by naipaul: half a life (2001) and magic seeds (2004). naipaul has been viewed by many postcolonial critics as an imperially complicit writer, for his controversial views of places and societies, particularly his disdain for non-western societies. this study examines whether the imperatives of the postcolonial c...

IT IS OBVIOUS FROM his review of my book that J.H. Huebert holds me in genuine high esteem. This saddens him all the more for, in his view, I have squandered my talents on so unworthy a topic as Restoring the Lost Constitution: The Presumption of Liberty, which he characterizes as “an unfortunate waste of talent for a powerful mind such as Randy Barnett’s” (p. 108). While there is much that I d...

A study of half-rhymes (HR's) in Romanian poetry reveals that poets systematically prefer HR's corresponding to certain common phonological processes: final devoicing, post-nasal voicing, nasalplace neutralization, stressless vowel reduction, coda cluster simplification, nasalized vowel centralization, liquid metathesis. The striking observation is that none of these processes operates in Roman...

In the immediate aftermath of a disaster routine processes, even if specifically designed for such a situation, are not enacted blindly. Actions and processes rather adapt their behavior based on observations and available information. Attempts to support these processes by technology rely on process models that faithfully capture process execution and adaptation. Based on experiences from actu...

The outbreak of the Panic of 1907 occurred following a series of scandalous revelations about the investments of some prominent New York financiers, resulting in widespread runs on trust companies throughout New York City. The connections between the trust companies that came under severe strain during the crisis, and their client firms, may have transmitted the financial crisis to nonfinancial...

Learning curves are used extensively in business, science, technology, engineering, and industry to predict system performance over time. Although most of the early development and applications were in the area of production engineering, contemporary applications can be found in all areas of applications. Information technology project management, in particular, offers a fertile area for the ap...
