Competition and microcredit interest rates: international evidence
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
The limited number of existing papers that link competition among microfinance institutions (MFIs) and microcredit interest rates, provide inconclusive and counterintuitive results. This paper uses data from 1997 MFIs ...
Flocculation and viscoelastic behavior of industrial papermaking suspensions
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Article)
The effects of the surface charge type and density C496, C492 and A130LMW polyacrylamides (PAMs) on the rheological behavior of real industrial papermaking suspensions were quantitatively related to the degree of flocculation ...
Development of an Integrated Quality Function Deployment and Utility Theory Weighting System to Improve Occupants' Satisfaction
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2019 , Article)
Studies have shown that occupant satisfaction is a compelling factor affecting building energy consumption. Occupants' behavior has a direct relationship to their satisfaction, and it is clear that occupants' satisfaction ...
