Three dinuclear cyanide-bridged complexes Fe II (PY 5 OMe 2 )CNM II (PY 5 OMe 2 )[OTf] 3 (M = Fe 1 , Co 2 , Mn 3 ; PY 5 OMe 2 = 2,6-bis-((2-pyridyl)methoxymethane)pyridine OTf = CF 3 SO 3- ) have been synthesized and characterized. Single-crystal diffraction analyses show these three dinuclear...

Smith viewed the advantages of division of labour exclusively on the basis of individual specialization. It raises a problem on human development, or, of alienation. This paper shows that a generally neglected alternative view can be found in Marshall (1890) and Young (1928). Marshal has argued...

This paper analyses the effects of inter-market and intra-market income heterogeneities on output and social welfare under uniform pricing and differential pricing regimes by considering a finite number of markets. We first derive the linear demand curve in each market under plausible...

In this paper, we consider a variant of the classical parallel machine scheduling problem. For this problem, we are given m potential identical machines to non-preemptively process a sequence of independent jobs. Machines need to be activated before starting to process, and each machine...

In order to analyze the electric-power demand and supply in China efficiently, this paper presents a Grey–Markov forecasting model to forecast the electric-power demand in China. This method takes into account the general trend series and random fluctuations about original time-series data. It...

The main purpose of this paper is to study the ordering, transshipment price, wholesale price and contracting decisions of a dual-channel supply chain with unidirectional transshipment. We establish a dual-channel model which consists of a manufacturer, an online shop owned by a manufacturer and...

We estimate the evolution of healthcare demand under the influence of income growth and population aging with two samples of patients surveyed in the same regions, but with an interval of 18 years in rural China and with mixed logit to deal with heterogeneity. In accordance with theoretical and...

Yong He, Yunnan Shi ? The Positions of Europe, of the USA, and of China in Africa, Implication for African Development In this study, we show that the reinforcement of the positions of China and of the USA in Africa has essentially been motivated by their willing to increase their access to...
