Introduction

Ricardo and Marx have developed an economic approach based on the labor-value. Both authors’ economic theory depends on the labor-added value. As known, the price determination in the markets is the most important mechanism defined in the science of economics. The price is an agreement between the agents in the economy, and the price conveys a lot of information to the agents in the economy. For instance, by using the cross-price demand elasticity statistics, or the income demand elasticity comparison, one agent can see how the price competition is developing, and how successful the market is contributing to the ...

Introduction
The entry of Volkswagen (VW) as a brand on American soil was no easy feat. The boldness and enthusiasm of Heinz Nordhoff in the immediate aftermath of WWII at a time when anti-Nazism was rife, to talk German business on American soil came not short of paranoia. Even though he envisioned tapping the growing American motor vehicle industry, the “German” profile was an immediate red flag, not to mention some odd-styled vehicles that casted forth an aura of centrism and leanness; characteristics that antagonized the enlarging American appetite for size and comfort. However, America of the 1960s was ...

Transcriptional regulation of gene expression

Gene expression in eukaryotic cells is regulated at transcriptional, post transcriptional and translational levels (Tomizawa,  Lekstrom-Himes, and Xanthopoulos 17). Transcriptional control is the primary means of regulating gene expression. Eukaryotic transcriptional control functions at three levels: modulation of the activities of activators and repressors; variations in chromatin structure; and effect of activators and repressors on assembly of initiation complexes (Lodish et al. 368).
Regulation of transcription initiation is the most widespread form of gene control in eukaryotes. However, in some cases, transcription may be attenuated and regulated at subsequent steps, such as during or after the transcription process (Cooper ...
