As previously established, the rhetorical situation is far more than just context and includes a number of detailed aspects. As a main frame, there are three main aspects, the audience, the exigence and the constraints. These can be determined by the information that the article presents. Particularly in the article regarding the potential Nicaraguan Canal, there is a wealth of knowledge that is shared, with the two main focal points that were stated above. These

replaced by various modern group events such as sporting events. Tajfel proposed that the groups e.g sporting teams which people belonged to were an important source of pride and self-esteem. Groups give us a sense of social identity. Social identity theory states that the in-group will discriminate against the out-group to enhance their self-image. Xenophobia is an example of this in sporting events, where crowds take to chanting offensive slurs to the other team’s supporters. An explanation for this

The Time What is the most horrible of institutions that ever entered human lives? Anyone, by the perceived notion of institutions might start listing education, family, marriage, state, religion etc. But, if we think once, all these institutions have something in common.

So, I would say, it is time that is the major institution that changed the

inherently intractable, i.e., it is extremely unlikely that these problems can be solved to optimality in their general form in practice. An efficient algorithm is given in (Du, Han & Chen, 1997) for solving a scheduling problem with general precedence constraints, in which an activity must start and

data provided in the literature. The present work found that there would be no comprehensible design strategy in developing nanofluids. In this work, the Axiomatic Design (AD) theory is applied to systemize the design of nanofluids in order to bring its practical use forward. According to the Independence Axiom of the AD theory, the excessive couplings between the functional requirements and the parameters of a nanofluid system prevent from meeting the functional goals of the entire system. At a parametric

results are sensitive to econometric model specification, in particular to controlling for serial correlation and to a dynamic specification of the baseline model. Likewise, estimates on financial constraints are sensitive to model specification, indicating that Japanese drug firms face small or no financial constraints. Our results are consistent with the general literature on R&D investment behaviour, yet raise some methodological questions with regard to the original study. Key words: investment, Japan,
