modern world revolutions have created some instruments known as ‎quasi-negotiable instruments which are different from negotiable ones, ‎despite having some similarities to them. commercial custom recognizes ‎them as quasi-negotiable instruments. the principle is that we don’t ‎need new legal regime for this new category because they are right in ‎personam when they are created and rights in re...

We present the first revealed-preference characterizations of the models of exponential discounting, quasi-hyperbolic discounting, and other time-separable models of consumers’ intertemporal decisions. We contribute to the axiomatic work that tries to describe the behavioral content of models of intertemporal choice. Ours is the first axiomatization of these models taking finite consumption str...

There has been a significant interest on plasmonics in a metallic structure with very narrow gaps for studies of nanophotonics. However, little attention has been paid to the behavior of surface plasmons (SPs) in quasi-continuous metallic structures. This study observes and analyzes intermediate characteristics between propagating SPs (PSPs) and localized SPs (LSPs) in a quasi-continuous metall...

In this paper we study the robust stability of uncertain quasipolynomials, whose coef£cients may vary in a certain prescribed range. We consider speci£cally the co-called interval and diamond quasipolynomials, and our goal is to develop vertexand edge type-conditions for these quasipolynomial families to be robustly stable independent of delay. Moreover, we also present a number of extensions t...

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of instruction of metacognitive knowledge on academic stress in high school female students. This research method is quasi experimental with pretest and post test. Given this, 37female first grade students (19 subjects in experimental group and 18 subjects in control group) were randomly selected using multi-stage cluster samplin...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of positive normative feedback on acquisition and retention of throwing skill. the method was quasi-experimental and the population consisted of the 5th grade elementary female students. 60 students were randomly selected from the population and were randomly assigned to four different groups: normative task-orientation, non-normative task-ori...

BACKGROUND First metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) mobility is commonly assessed by its angular displacement (joint angle) or subjectively rated as 'hypermobile', 'normal' or 'stiff' by a clinician. Neither of these methods is ideal because displacement alone does not take into account the force required to displace the joint and subjective evaluation is not always reliable. This study presented...
