on the circular curve, lateral acceleration affects comfort. on the spiral, both lateral acceleration and jerk affect comfort.  the determination of maximum curving speed on the basis of lateral acceleration only is not critical because the lateral acceleration is proportional to the square of speed whereas jerk is proportional to cubic power of speed. the maximum speed on a curve is thus signi...

This study examines empirically the impact of income polarization on economic growth in an unbalanced panel of more than 70 countries during the 1960–2005 period. We calculate various polarization indices using existing micro-level datasets, as well as datasets reconstructed from grouped data on income distribution taken from the World Income Inequality Database. The results garnered for our pr...

This paper develops a two country endogenous growth model with accumulation of both physical and human capital. We establish the existence of two country balanced growth equilibria with physical and human capital growing at the same rate in which a static and dynamic version of the Heckscher-Ohlin hypothesis hold true. We also show the existence of unbalanced growth equilibria in which the stat...

Let IA be the toric ideal of a homogeneous normal configuration A ⊂ Z . We prove that IA is generated by circuits if and only if each unbalanced circuit of IA has a “connector” which is a linear combination of circuits with a square-free term. In particular if each circuit of IA with non-square-free terms is balanced, then IA is generated by circuits. As a consequence we prove that the toric id...

We consider the unbalanced allocation of m balls into n bins by a randomized algorithm using the “power of two choices”. For each ball, we select a set of bins at random, then place the ball in the fullest bin within the set. Applications of this generic algorithm range from cost minimization to condensed matter physics. In this paper, we analyze the distribution of the bin loads produced by th...

An efficient distribution network must be able to supply power with good voltage profile. The main objective of the proposed work is to allocate losses of the unbalanced distribution network by the firefly algorithm in regulated and deregulated environments before and after loss minimization. Reconfiguration is one of the methods for loss reduction of unbalanced distribution network. Further, o...

A 2 1/2 year old girl is reported with a de novo 13;18 unbalanced translocation and the facial features of Williams syndrome, subaortic stenosis, failure to thrive, and developmental delay. This case provides two candidate locations for the underlying molecular pathology of this sporadic syndrome. Williams syndrome is associated with intellectual and growth retardation, infantile feeding proble...

Balanced maternal and paternal genome contributions are a requirement for successful seed development. Unbalanced contributions often cause seed abortion, a phenomenon that has been termed "triploid block." Misregulation of imprinted regulatory genes has been proposed to be the underlying cause for abnormalities in growth and structure of the endosperm in seeds with deviating parental contribut...
