Cost push inflation is an economic phenomenon that occurs when the cost of production for goods and services rises, leading to an increase in prices. Higher wages, increased raw material costs, government regulations, exchange rate fluctuations, and supply chain disruptions are among the primary fact...
However, under the competitive helping hypothesis we would expect an increase of contributions by men across rounds. Previous studies6,7 showed that men's contributions increased or were stable across 5 successive rounds of a public goods game when men's identity and contributions were observable ...
In the presence of primary sexual characteristics (penis, vulva), a significant increase in the attributions of gender consistent with the external genitalia (penis → male, vulva → female) is expected to occur, compared to when the genitals are covered (e.g., pants). d. In stimu...
the result of the interaction between prey availability, post-copulatory competition and individual size altering the benefits and costs associated with each gift type. In the field, we found that the deceptive tactic is performed by all males regardless of their size. Small and medium males mostly...
raw material propylene slightly increased at the beginning of the year, and in addition, downstream construction resumed after the holiday, leading to a slight recovery in the vinyl cyanide industry; Later, with the production of 330,000 tons/year of new units and weak demand for raw materials...
the company had to halt production of toluene diisocyanate. Having taken full advantage of pipelines, trucks, and rail as alternatives (which significantly increased logistics costs), it nonetheless did not have the raw materials to make the chemical, which is used in the production of polyurethanes...
BOPP refers to the manufacturing process of the material. The raw materials are melted and spread onto cylinders where they are rapidly cooled. The material is then stretched in two directions to reduce its thickness as well as increase its flexibility and strength. ...
, found that substituting reduced graphene oxide for the Fe/NC electrode led to an increase in maximum power density to 862 mW m−2 (1943.71 mA m−2 of the current density).88 In their work, the presence of PANI increased the surface roughness and potential of carbon fibers, thereby ...
and this knowledge can be translated into increased productivity levels and enhanced innovation in the home country (Grossman & Helpman,1991; Martin & Salomon,2003; Salomon & Shaver,2005; Westphal et al.,1984). This idea was introduced in the 1960s following observations of strong country-level...
