convergence hypothesis is one of the results of neoclassical growth model, which has been examined recently. this hypothesis has two forms of absolute and conditional beta-convergence and implies that regions with lower per capita output have higher per capita growth rates. since there is no data for regional gdp in iran, there has been n study to test convergence hypothesis in iran. our main c...

This glossary arises out of research interests in the 19th and 20th century in the history of drugs, including the contemporary history of drug policy. It is necessarily brief, and British and American focused; it is also concentrated on narcotic drugs rather than alcohol and tobacco. However, the comments take on board the recent discussions of convergence across the substances, and also the s...

The concept of “abused collective memory” gathers two of Ricœur’s main lines of concern: history and psychoanalysis. The article aims to explain how this convergence was possible, especially, when the transposition of the Freudian metapsychology from the individual to the collective level was hindered by the Ricœurian emphasis on the Freudian libidinal economy. Our hypothesis is that this conve...

the convergence hypothesis maintains that an economy whose productivity lags behind other economies has a potential to grow faster. in other words, this economy can experience faster economic growth through absorbing, accepting, and using available technology experience. in this study, we have examined the relationship between tfp of industry sectors and regional convergence in iran's prov...

Convergence is an issue being widely concerned about. Thus, in this paper, we mainly put forward two types of concepts of convergence in mean and convergence in distribution for the sequence of uncertain random variables. Then some of theorems are proved to show the relations among the three convergence concepts that are convergence in mean, convergence in measure and convergence in distributio...

similarity between cultures, languages and arts is natural. literary genres are also related to each other. it is obvious that if literary works are to be concerned with a subject or particular theme, this convergence will be further and clearer. the sacred defense literature, which is a spiritual literature, came to the fore both in poetry and prose more than other literary types. due to its c...

studies pertaining convergence and its benefits for developing and underdeveloped countries, specifically latin american countries and the caribbean islands are essential because they can create the necessary grounds for further growth and development. the aim of this study is to analyze the economic growth of latin american countries and the caribbeans after their beta and sigma convergences d...

$top$-filters can be used to define $top$-convergence spaces in the lattice-valued context. Connections between $top$-convergence spaces and lattice-valued convergence spaces are given. Regularity of a $top$-convergence space has recently been defined and studied by Fang and Yue. An equivalent characterization is given in the present work in terms of convergence of closures of $top$-filters.  M...

BACKGROUND Deterministic evolution, phylogenetic contingency and evolutionary chance each can influence patterns of morphological diversification during adaptive radiation. In comparative studies of replicate radiations, convergence in a common morphospace implicates determinism, whereas non-convergence suggests the importance of contingency or chance. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The endem...
