sexual behavior in most moths is limited to a precise duration period of either the day or the night. these behaviors as well as the calling behavior are specific. information on reproductive behavior is important in the chemical ecology studies. experiments were conducted to determine the developmental biology, adult time emergence and calling behaviors of three populations of carob moth, ecto...

We analyze the problem of determining inventory and pricing decisions in a two-period retail setting when an opportunity to refine information about uncertain demand is available. The model extends the newsvendor problem with pricing by allowing for multiple suppliers, the pooling of procurement resources, and more general informational dynamics. One contribution is the solution procedure: we s...

( b ) H is maximal n i l p o t e n t and every subgroup of f i n i t e l a d e x . . i s of f i n i t e index i n i t s normalizer. Proof of Theorem 6: ( a ) Map Ga -> #, by x,: t -> x,(t) . This is a r a t i o n a l homomorphism. So s i n c e Ga i s a connected , ~ g e b r a i c group s o i s Xa . Hence G is a lgebra ic and connected.. Let R = r a d G . Since R is so lvable and normal it i s f...

in recent decades, foreign direct investment (fdi) has played a vital role in economic growth of developed and developing countries. fdi brings new capital and technology to the host country beside a possibility of spillover to local firms. hence, fdi is considered as an important channel of technology transfer. however, in empirical studies, the size and direction of effects of fdi on producti...
