There is ongoing debate about whether the relationship between income and pro-social behaviour depends on economic inequality.Studies investigating this question differ in their conclusions but are consistent in measuring inequality at aggregated geographic levels (i.e.at the state, region, or country-level).I hypothesise that local, more immediate
Age is a predisposing condition for susceptibility to chronic kidney disease and progression as well as acute kidney injury that may arise due to the adverse effects of some drugs.Age-related differences in kidney biology, therefore, are a key concern in understanding drug safety and disease progression.We hypothesize that the underlying suite of g
The influence of stirring speeds of 1000 and 1500 r/min on the microstructure of Al18SiCuMg twist e liquid purple no 1 alloy was investigated.The smaller size of Si particles of rheocast sample obtained by higher cooling rate and higher stirring speed was achieved.According to the results of cavitation test, the cavitation rate of the rheocast samp
A new species of Saurichthys, S.majiashanensis , is described.It comes from a series of marine vertebrate-bearing beds of the upper member of the Nanlinghu Formation outcropping in the large quarry at the top of Majiashan (Majia Hill) near Chaohu (Hefei City, Anhui Province, China).Its age is Middle Spathian (Olenekian, Early Triassic).This new spe
A robust adaptive chattering-free sliding mode (ACFSM) control method for electronic throttle (ET) system is proposed in this paper.It is well known that nonlinearities in the throttle system including friction, return-spring, limp-home (LH) and gear backlash affect the control accuracy of the throttle valve.Compared with the traditional sliding mo
