Environmental concerns lead industries to implement gasified biomass (syngas) as a promising fuel in steel reheating furnaces. The impurities of syngas as well as a combination with iron oxide scale form complex mixtures with low melting points, and might cause corrosion on steel slabs. In this...

Zn(1-x)GaxO thin films (x = 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07 named as GZO1, GZO2, GZO3, GZO4, respectively) were deposited on glass substrates by RF magnetron sputtering. The crystal structure, electrical, thermoelectric and magneto-thermoelectric properties of GZO films were investigated. It is found...

In this paper, we establish the upper semicontinuity and lower semicontinuity of solution mappings to a parametric generalized strong vector equilibrium problem with setvalued mappings by using a scalarization method and a density result. The results improve the corresponding ones in the...

This paper proposes a method of estimating marginal tax rates using nonparametric regression techniques, and the income and tax data obtained from the Individual Tax Model Files. Our method yields estimates of average marginal effective tax rates on personal income which are significantly...

Transactions, market orders and limit orders are three major factors which affect a specialist's information set and her inventory position. In modeling a specialist's quote updating process, before any exclusion of any of these factors, one should first address the fundamental question of their...
