There is a considerable body of research on the effect of land use regulations on property values. However, less work has been done on the relationships surrounding tax revenue, small zoning changes, and the fiscal outlook of cities and counties. As a result, the purpose of this study is to...
Over the past two decades there has been sharp increase in the demand for English-language skills in India. This led to a rapid expansion of English Medium Schools, more so in the private sector than the public sector. Recent studies have estimated the economic benefits of English-language skills but few...
Tax incidence involves the study of the pass-through rate of a tax. For example, does a 1 percent increase in a sales tax on a commodity cause the consumer price to go up by exactly 1 percent (full-shifting), less than 1 percent (under-shifting), or more than 1 percent (over-shifting). Theoretical...
Seasonal abundance and life history traits were compared between populations of the brine fly Ephydra (Hydrokyrus) hians Say (Diptera:Ephydridae), from two western Great Basin alkaline salt lakes. Abert Lake, Oregon, has a relatively low salinity (20-30 g/1 total dissolved solids) and more co-inhabitant benthic species than the higher salinity Mono...
The solution structure determination of DNA molecules has been an important part of structural biology. NMR solution structures are a complement to structures solved via X-ray crystallography; the two methods are the only ways of obtaining three dimensional coordinates of macromolecules. Because of the nature of the molecule, the solution...
During the maturation of the ovaries of Leucophaea maderae (Fab.),
the terminal oocytes increase in length from 1.00 mm to greater
than 5.00 mm. This increase in length is accompanied by approximately
a 70-fold increase in protein content. The relationship between
the ovarial size and total protein indicated that the...
A method for separation and characterization of individual anthocyanins was
developed. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with a polymer based
reversed-phase column was used to separate the pigments while on-line Photodiode
Array Detection (PDA) was employed to record the UV and Visible spectrum of the
individual peaks. Spectral information obtained...
Compaction of a horizontal microprogram is an attempt to
exploit fully the parallelism permitted by a given algorithm and data
processing structure in order to produce a short microprogram. B oth
viewpoints of the problem: the local compaction viewpoint which
deals with compaction within a straight-line segment, or a basic...
In order to determine whether the sediments found on the landward
wall of the Peru Trench are accreted Nazca Plate sediments,
the clay mineralogy and organic carbon contents of 52 surface
samples were submitted to factor analysis. Q-mode factor analysis
resolved the data from the Nazca Plate and Peru continental...
