Academics are divided as to whether financial risk tolerance is an enduring psychological trait and as a consequence is less likely to change over the life of an individual, or a variable psychological state which varies ...

We found that the saliva of preterm infants fed human milk contains twice the level of sialic acid as that in infants fed commercial fonnulas. The higher sialic acid level suggests greater viscosity and enhanced protection ...

This paper investigates the longitudinal vibration behavior of the deck of a floating-type cable-stayed bridge that is subjected to train braking and axle-loads of moving trains. A dynamic model for train braking and ...

In this paper we study a model of a quantity-setting duopoly market where firms leek knowledge of the market, demand. Using a misspecified demand function firms determine their profit-maximizing choices of their corresponding ...

This paper considers the tbermo-elastic behaviour of shallow steel arches of long span, which are deployed in large roofing applications such as airport terminals, during a fire. The analysis of shallow arches requires ...

A ~60 yr physical and chemical data set from 4 coastal stations around Australia plus remotely sensed SeaWiFS and phytoplankton taxonomic data were used to evaluate the temporal and spatial variation in phytoplankton ...

This paper presents a theoretical analysis for the long-term non-linear elastic in-plane behaviour and buckling of shallow concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) arches. It is known that an elastic shallow arch does not ...

The decline in industrial disputes over the last two or three decades in Australia and abroad has been noted by labour market researchers and commentators in general. Most if not all of this recent research and commentary ...
