Scientific motivation for equipping the GBT with receivers for the 3mm band (68-116 GHz) has been discussed in several memos [1]-[3], and later presented in a proposal by the GBT 3mm Receiver Working Group [4]. It was decided that the first receiver module to be built should be capable of both continuum detection and spectroscopy in the 68-92 GHz band (Module 1). Other frequencies and capabilit...

Economies are systems in which the macroscopically observable quantities emerge from the effects of interactions amongst the individual constituents of the system. They exhibit key features of complex systems: short-term non-predictability, emergent properties and multiple possible histories. The conventional approach to the control of the economy at the aggregate level requires the ability to ...

This paper attempts to answer two questions. Why did state governments begin to regulate the food and drug industry in late 19 century America? And why did the federal government become the ultimate regulator of the food and drug industry in the early 20 century? I argue that state government regulation emerged as a response to high transaction costs (specifically information costs) in the mark...

m any middle-east countries, like iran, have dynamic banking industries and have observed merger and acquisitions (m&a) waves. m&a waves are usually defined in the developed world context and some of their main drivers were identified as: market timing, environment's shocks, merger manias, government regulation and regulatory, and technological changes. it has been discussed that merge...

The political community’s research comes across as inconclusive in regard to the relationship between liberty and terrorism, given the differing opinions on what defines ‘liberty’ and ‘terrorism.’ Most research up to 2016 has been done on terrorist data after 2001 and until 2010 (in some cases 2012). My research expands to the year 2014 to analyze the connection between religious oppression by ...

The young pulsar J1740−3052 is in an 8-month orbit with a companion of at least 11 solar masses. We present multifrequency GBT and Parkes timing observations, and discuss implications for the nature of the companion.

north darfur state has been affected by conflict since 2003 and the government has not been able to provide adequate curative health services to the people. the government has come to rely on non-governmental organizations (ngos) to provide curative health services. this study was conducted to examine the existing collaboration between government and ngos in curative health service delivery in ...
