In this study, we analyze the effect of property taxes on changes between agricultural, forestry, Conservation Reserve Program, and developed land uses in Louisiana. We estimate a random parameters logit model of land-use conversion from the National Resources Inventory plot data. Our results indicate that land-use changes are inelastic with respect to property taxes. Simulation shows that curr...

An assessment of the intellectual property requirements for data used in machine-aided translation is provided based on a recent EC-funded legal review. This is compared against the capabilities offered by current linked open data standards from the W3C for publishing and sharing translation memories from translation projects, and proposals for adequately addressing the intellectual property ne...

Condominium ownership is an important content of real property right. Based on the theory of information asymmetry, the author discussed the information asymmetry of exclusive parts and common parts in the process of transaction of real property right, and then took Uniform Condominium Act of America as a reference in order to provide solution ways for eliminating the information asymmetry of e...

An efficient second-order stable numerical method is presented to solve the model partial differential equations of thermal glass fiber processing. The physical process and structure of the model equations are described first. The numerical issues are then clarified. The heart of our method is a MacCormack scheme with flux limiting. The numerical method is validated on a linearized isothermal m...

let $g$ be a group and $h$ a subgroup of $g$‎. ‎ $h$ is said to have semi-$pi$-property in $g$ if there is a subgroup $t$ of $g$ such that $g=ht$ and $hcap t$ has $pi$-property in $t$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎investigating on semi-$pi$-property of subgroups‎, ‎we shall obtain some new description of finite groups‎.

If we consider some special conditions, we can assume fundamental group of a topological space as a new topological space. In this paper, we will present a number of theorems in topological fundamental group related to semilocally simply connected property for a topological space.

In this paper, we define a new concept of factorization for a bounded bilinear mapping $f:Xtimes Yto Z$, depended on  a natural number $n$ and a cardinal number $kappa$; which is called $n$-factorization property of level $kappa$. Then we study the relation between $n$-factorization property of  level $kappa$ for $X^*$ with respect to $f$ and automatically boundedness and $w^*$-$w^*$-continuity...

For a Tychonoff space $X$, we denote by $C_p(X)$ the space of all real-valued continuous functions on $X$ with the topology of pointwise convergence.  We study a functional characterization of the covering property of Hurewicz.

Emerging trend in semiconductor nanotechnology motivates to design various crystalline nanotubes. The structural and electronic transport properties of single walled zigzag Gallium Arsenide nanotubes have been investigated using Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Non-Equilibrium Green’s Function (NEGF) based First Principle formalisms. Structural stability and enhanced electronic transmission ...
