This paper examines three software and/or information technology enabled services (ITES) industries—two in the early stages of development (in the People’s Republic of China [PRC] and the Philippines) and one mature one (in India). Being latecomers to offshoring work, the PRC and the Philippines have developed this industry in cooperation with multinational enterprises (MNEs). PRC firms have wo...

The relationships between use and independent variables that affect the selection of the method have been studied. The study attempts to fill a gap in the existing literature of capital budgeting practice in the developed and developing...

The dynamics of Ostwald ripening is treated by cluster distribution kinetics represented by a population balance equation that also describes growth or dissolution. Unlike simple crystal growth driven by supersaturation, the smaller, more soluble clusters in the distribution dissolve during ripening near equilibrium and vanish when they reach the critical nucleus size. Larger clusters according...

In recent years, aiming to reduce the Greenhouse Gas pollution and promote energy efficiency and conservation among consumers’ energy use, price policies and price changes derived from environmental regulations have played a more important role. In this paper, using the most recent annual state-level panel data for 48 states, I estimate a dynamic partial adjustment model for electricity demand ...

AIM The present study was conducted to evaluate the equine palmar tendon by ultrasonography (USG) in standing the position. MATERIALS AND METHODS USG of palmar tendons was performed in 40 adult horses using linear transducer having frequency of 10-18 MHz (e-soate, My Lab FIVE) and L52 linear array transducer (Titan, SonoSite) with frequencies ranging from 8 to 10 MHz. Palmar tendon was divide...
