the emergence and unprecedented growth of joint stock companies is undoubtedly one of the most significant economic developments.one of the outcomes of this development is the separation of ownership and control of the companies. such separation make it possible for the managers of the companies to make dicisions to serve their interes at the expense of the companies shareholders .this conflict...

Liposomes are widely used as drug delivery systems in different forms including osmotic pumps, infusion and IV injection. In spite of these, there is no data available about their behavior under convective flow (e.g. infusion or osmotic pumps) and upon stagnation in such drug delivery systems. As a part of a series of investigations in this area, the present study investigates the effects of vi...

   Graphene oxide nanosheet (GONS) can be a suitable membrane for gas separation with high permeability and selectivity. Separation of N2/CO2 using functionalized GONS was investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. The simulated systems were comprised of two types of GONS with a pore in their center, N2 and CO2 molecules. The selectivity and ...

An algebraic principle for blind source separation is presented in this paper. This separation principle identi"es a (smaller) set of equations whose solutions can blindly extract non-Gaussian signals. The concept of `Mth-order uncorrelatednessa is introduced and it is proven that for Mth-order uncorrelated source signals, signals with nonzero kth-order cumulant (2(k)M) can always be extracted ...

Ever-changing business processes in large software systems, integration of heterogeneous data sources as well as the desire for legacy service integration drive software design towards reusable, platform-independent, webaccessible microservices. Such independently deployable services provide an interface for retrieval and data manipulation in machine-readable formats. While this approach brings...
