Central Place Theory explains the number and locations of cities, towns, and villages based on principles of market areas, transportation, and socio-political interactions between settlements. It assumes a hexagonal segmentation of space, where every central place is surrounded by six lower-order ...
However, B could give an acceptable quantitative fit only if one assumes an unreasonably high cost of carrying the nectar load. In contrast, theory A gives a good fit for reasonable assumptions of the cost.^CENTREQUAD~P. Walker.Related ReferencesA.Kacelnik, A.I.H.andP.S.H. 1986: ...
Im = dichotomous value, that is, it assumes value either “0” or “1”. The thereby produced index ranges from 0 to 1. In our instance, the FII values “0” and “1” denote total financial inclusion and full financial exclusion, respectively. Furthermore, SCI “0” denotes ...
Christaller’s theory assumes that central places are distributed over a uniform plane of constant population density and purchasing power. Movement across the plane is uniformly easy in any direction, transportation costs vary linearly, and consumers act rationally to minimize transportation costs by vis...
(see Supplementary Dataset1). Mean exhumation rates for cosmogenic radionuclide samples (blue dots and trend line) are based on the sample depth below the pre-diversion river level and assuming 150 years since the diversion. The associated error envelope assumes a+/− 15 m error on the ...

theory of central bank independence, politicians seek to maximize their own welfare, especially short-term electoral gain, rather than the public good. It also assumes that voters experience immediate benefits from attempts to stimulate the economy, but they do not experience the inflationary ...
Jingyue Central Park has created a broad and continuous ecological green lung in the dense urban environment, which provides a site for urban residents to get close to nature and relax, and assumes the important function of improving the urban ecological environment and the quality of the city. ...
The statements about projective sets can nevertheless be proven if one assumes the existence of a suitable large cardinal. In other cases, such as the so-called Borel determinacy theorem [179], the statement can be proven in ZFC, but one really does need close to the full power of ZFC [...
(2007) from Miller and Modigliani (1961) dividend irrelevance theory assumes a negative association between stock liquidity and dividend policy. Less liquid shares make it more difficult to get a costless homemade dividend, so investors should demand higher dividends for stocks with low liquidity. ...
