The photoabsorption edge shifting from UV to visible region accompanied with increased intensity and Raman features change was observed for N+ implanted TiO2. Raman spectra prove the formation of TiNx and oxygen vacancies in the implanted TiO2, which is considered as the origin of absorption...

We study the choices of two types of maximizing Public Servants over how far to carry privatization of industries and in what order to privatize. Two stylizations of the Public Servant's objectives are considered, a Niskanen-style Bureaucrat who maximizes a surplus budget subject to the...
