The Middle-Income Trap: Evidences from Fragile Five Economies
İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Araştırmaları Dergisi, 2019 In general, the term growth is associated with high income, whereas the term development is associated with low and middle income countries. However, the concept of middle income trap causes new discussions in the growth and development literature. Theoretical and empirical studies in economic theory show that the low income countries have remained in ...

Efficient and Robust Standing Postures of Quadruped Robots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A calibrated static framework estimates load, optimizes torques, and adapts posture so quadruped robots stand efficiently and robustly under external payloads, achieving up to 50% lower torque demand. Inspired by the natural posture adjustments of animals under external loading, this article presents an optimization‐based framework for minimizing joint

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Nitrosyl heme emerges as an extracellular nitrodilator that dilates arteries without crossing the cell membrane. Instead, heme‐NO mobilizes NO moieties from a preformed intracellular NO store within vascular smooth muscle, providing both functional and chemical evidence for the NANOS model, revealing a previously unrecognized mechanism of arterial ...

Some tropical american ?Clavarias
Lilloa, 1940 The genus Clavaria, as it is commonly interpreted, encompasses, in addition to the typical fragile and fleshy forms, a number of species of a strong gelatinous consistency. The latter are, in particular, characteristic of the tropics.
