this survey is carried out with the aim of investigating iran’s export potentials of agricultural products to member countries of the organization of islamic conference (oic) through use of such appropriate methods as: rca, hs and cosine index. the dates are computed be means of hs data codes in the range of 010000-240000 during 2002-2006. the islamic countries are divided into 3 groups as base...

We propose a new method for creating an optimal coherence in a two-level system (TLS) based on adiabatic following. Optimal coherence is achieved by choosing the time-dependent phase of the pulse that provides vanishing field-TLS detuning dðtÞ at central time when the pulse amplitude reaches maximum. For example, dðtÞ 1⁄4 d0ð1 expððt t0Þ=s0ÞÞ for t 6 t0 and d 1⁄4 0 for t > t0. The pulse envelop...

There are various types of lasers available for hair reduction, but the choice of an ideal laser for ethnic skin has its own limitations. The choice of the right laser for the right skin type is very important. Before starting with the laser therapy, it is important to assess the skin type, the fluence, the pulse duration and the type of laser to be used.

national currency depreciation or appreciation has always been argued seriously among policymakers since changing in exchange rate could cause improvement or deficit in trade balance. these changes affect the trade volume of a country in both short-run and long-run. long-run effects are recognized as the marshall-lerner condition, while short-run effects are analyzed by two concepts: j-curve an...

Background Negotiations surrounding the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade and investment agreement have recently concluded. Although trade and investment agreements, part of a broader shift to global economic integration, have been argued to be vital to improved economic growth, health, and general welfare, these agreements have increasingly come under scrutiny for their direct and indirect...

the main purpose of this paper is to present methods and recent development in the literature of intra industry trade (iit) measuring. the case study also is carried out for iranian manufacturing industries during time period 1997-2003. for this, iran's foreign trade data was collected, processed, and then used to estimate iit indices with respect to recent literature developments in iit m...

This paper addresses the relationship between information and communication technologies (ICTs) and ethical consumption as part of a cause for the insurance of a sustainable future. It homes in on fair trade as an ethical market, politically progressive cause and, crucially, form of participation where citizens can engage in the formation of an alternative future and the broader issue of food s...

afghanistan as the largest producer of drug in the world, after the events of september 11, 2001, and attack of international forces following the resolution of the un, has been increasingly important in international politics. the range of effects from illigal drug trade in afghanistan and the countries on the way of transition and trafficking target market, has caused special attention paid t...

More than half of all US import relationships begin with less than $10,000 annually. The median relationship is observed to last just one year. The incidence and duration of these relationships are consistent with a matching model of international trade. The preponderance of small starting relationships reveals uncertainty present in formation of trade relationships. Initial size, reliability, ...
