Does religion matter? A test of classical theories of deviance on two different religious types
… of nonreligious respondents in relation to two classical theories of crime and deviant behavior. The first objective of this research is to determine whether a conventional religion, Methodism, deters crime and deviant behavior better than an unconventional religious type, Shambhala Buddhism, …

Natural Resource Economic Theory: An Application to Illinois Coal
The major economic theories of natural resource extraction are reviewed critically. The current classical theories are shown to be in error. Appropriate classical and neoclassical models of resource extraction are developed and applied using Illinois coal mining data. The models are tested to …

Non-Traditional Agriculture and Economic Development: The Brazilian Soybean Expansion, 1964 - 1982
… to link the Brazilian experience to some of the classical theories of economic development.

Theories of Fate among Present-day Astrologers
… on their lives. The thesis establishes different classical theories of fate, from the early Greek literature of Homer through to the fate discussed by Saint Thomas Aquinas in the thirteenth century. These theories of fate consist of a collection of beliefs concerning the nature, source, and …

ΤΟ ΠΟΛΙΤΙΚΟ ΣΤΟΙΧΕΙΟ ΣΤΗ ΝΕΑ ΠΟΛΙΤΙΚΗ ΟΙΚΟΝΟΜΙΑ. ΠΡΟΒΛΗΜΑΤΑ ΚΡΙΤΙΚΗΣ ΑΝΑΚΑΤΑΣΚΕΥΗΣ ΣΥΓΧΡΟΝΩΝ ΠΟΛΙΤΙΚΟ-ΟΙΚΟΝΟΜΙΚΩΝ ΘΕΩΡΙΩΝ
… CRITICALLY RECONSTRUCT MODERN POLITICO- ECONOMIC THEORIES TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE METHODOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS UPON WHICH THE IDEA OF THE "POLITICAL" IS BUILT WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF NEOCLASSICAL PUBLIC FRAME THEORY ANDOF MODERN THEORIES OF WELFARE. AT THE SAME TIME, THE ARGUMENT OPERATES ITSELF TO …

Electrochemistry of room temperature ionic Liquids with applications to electrospray propulsion
… RTIL electrochemical properties deviate from classical theories whose mean-field approach glossed over effects arising from the constituent ions' size and shape. Further development in the understanding of RTIL electrochemistry will drive better design towards enabling technologies, and this …

Towards quantitatively predicting the properties of gels and elastomers
… undermine the predictive power of existing classical theories. To provide accurate predictions, the role of network topology must be considered. Therefore, this thesis investigates the impact of topological defects on the properties of polymer networks. The first part of this thesis focuses …

Operads and Homotopy Theory
… of group operads is developed, extending the classical theories of groups, spaces with actions of groups, covering spaces and classifying spaces of groups. Group operads apply to homotopy theory via their associated monads. As an application, all braid groups and symmetric groups are used to …

RHETORICAL STRATEGIES AND POLITICAL GIFT GIVING IN THE ORINOCO DELTA
… to culture, language ideologies, and the most classical theories on material exchange. This research's aim is to understand how multiple sign systems (in this case language and material gifts) interact, contradict, and support each other. In sum, this dissertation uses the advances of …

Peridynamics For The Solution Of Multiphysics Problems
… non-local effects and are not suitable for classical theories. Moreover, governing equations of peridynamics are based on integro-differential equations which permits the determination of the field variable in spite of discontinuities. Inherent with the nonlocal formulations, the imposition …

Online learning algorithm for structural control using magnetorheological actuators
… fluid. When considering structural control, classical theories necessitate full knowledge of the structural dynamic states and properties most of which can only be estimated when considering large-scale control, which may be difficult or inaccurate for complicated geometries due to the …

Marxian and Weberian theory as explanations of the effects of industrialization on town development: A case study; Denison, Texas.
… theory, rather it attempts to combine existing “classical” theories to present a balanced and, to an extent, “objective” explanation of community development. Adding the social aspects of Weber's theory to Marx's theory results in a theory that limits the economic bias associated with pure …

Continuum and Atomistic Simulation of Electrically-Mediated Flow Through Nanometer Channels
… in nanochannels. As the continuum theories based on the Poisson-Boltzmann and the Navier-Stokes equations account for the various intermolecular interactions in a mean-field fashion, they fail to predict the fluid/ion characteristics accurately. In addition, fluids or electrolytes …

Heavy-Tailed Crack Distribution Families and Applications
… crack distribution are studied relying on the classical theories of extreme values and regular variation. Moreover, we discuss the asymptotic behavior of the hazard rate function of the generalized crack distribution. Student's t crack, Laplace crack, the generalized Gaussian crack …

Why Peace Processes Fail: A Conceptual Analysis of the Peace Talks between Turkey and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), 2009-2015
… so, the study draws from conflict resolution theories to analyse the case using the five transformers framework: context transformation, structural transformation, actor transformation, issue transformation, and personal and group transformation (Ramsbotham et al. 2005; 2016). The study found …

Analysis of Plane Strain Deformations of Linearly Elastic Strain-Gradient Materials by the Finite Element Method
… strongly depends upon the specimen size. Classical theories are unable to explain this size dependence, whereas a strain gradient continuum theory has intrinsic length scales and may well describe mechanical deformations of small size bodies. In the current contribution, we develop a …

Microbiological influences on phosphorus release from aerobic lake sediments
… has been the subject of many recent studies. Classical theories concerning the regulation of phosphorus release from sediments by oxidation-reduction potential neglect the potential of microorganisms to transfer large amounts of phosphorus out of sediments. Aerobic surface sediments collected …
