Despite earlier evidence to the contrary, recent inquiries appear to reach a consensus that the poor
pay more for food. However, these studies utilize samples drawn on the basis of prior
knowledge of unfair pricing strategies, proximity of volunteer surveyors,…

This paper empirically examines the role of social networks in welfare participation. Social theorists from across the political spectrum have argued that network effects have given rise to a culture of poverty. Empirical work, however, has found it difficult to…

When a person is born, apart from natural instincts and biological impulses endowed in his existence, is unaware of realities around him. He gets acquainted with the world around him by utilizing senses and wisdom bestowed upon him by God.…

The role of parents within special education teacher preparation programs has been widely recognized. Traditional approaches for preparing special educators to interact with parents of children with special needs have been mainly classroom based promoting a narrow view of the…

The aim of research was to develop a Knowledge model for integrated construction project management by undertaking a complex analysis of economic, legal/regulatory, technical, technological, organizational, managerial, social, cultural, political, ethical, psychological and educational factors affecting it, and to present…

It is an unfortunate fact that two major issues including health and safety are not given as much importance as the issue persists. In this context road safety is also another important agenda for the developing countries and the situation…

We consider a one-dimensional jumping Markov process, solving a Poisson-driven stochastic differential equation. We prove that the law of this process admits a smooth density for all positive times, under some regularity and non-degeneracy assumptions on the coefficients of the…

We show how to recover Euler's formula for $\zeta(2n)$, as well as $L_{\chi_4}(2n+1)$, for any integer $n$, from the knowledge of the density of the product $\mathbb{C}_1,\mathbb{C}_2\ldots,\mathbb{C}_k$, for any $k\geq 1$, where the $\mathbb{C}_i$'s are independent standard Cauchy variables.

Some probabilistic aspects of the number variance statistic are investigated. Infinite systems of independent Brownian motions and symmetric alpha-stable processes are used to construct explicit new examples of processes which exhibit both divergent and saturating number variance behaviour. We derive…
