The negative linear relationship between on-premise alcohol outlets and decreased domestic violence calls suggest a potentially mitigating effect of being in a 'social' area, while a curvilinear relationship would similarly complicate matters regarding routine behaviors and how they disrupt or support domestic violence activities.
As well as attempting to determine causes that precipitate spikes in domestic violence, other studies have attempted to determine how to deter the practice. According to Sloan (et al. 2013) in the research study entitled "Deterring domestic violence: Do criminal sanctions reduce repeat offenses?" there have been widespread attempts to determine if there is a positive effect between reductions in domestic violence and more stringent laws punishing offenders. The article analyzed domestic violence case resolution in North Carolina for the years 2004 to 2010. "The key hypothesis is that penalties at the level set for domestic violence crimes reduce recidivism (re-arrest on domestic violence charges or conviction in 2 years following an index arrest)….Individuals have prior beliefs about penalties...
An individual's experience with an index arrest leads to belief updating" (Sloan 2013). However, a negative linear relationship was found between mandated penalties for repeat, proven offenders and continued offending. This suggested that harsher penalties were not treating the 'root cause' of the offense. Studying curvilinear relationships amongst the data, to determine if specific demographics were deterred in some instances but not in others would have complicated these findings and provided a more nuanced view of the study's conclusions.

" (Sinha and Batra, 1999) Sinha and Batra state that "most researchers now content that a generalized price -- quality relationship does not exist" although the "degree to which a higher price implies higher quality" has been examined and as well has been the "topic of considerable research in marketing." (1999) Therefore for the purpose of this study this antecedent relating to price consciousness will not be a variable in understanding
shares (which can only be purchased by foreign investors in foreign currencies (Cao 2000). In addition, Chinese law classifies shares by reference to the status of the shareholders: state shares, legal person shares, and individual shares. State shares are purchased with state assets by governmental departments and usually constitute fifty percent or more of all issued shares, which means that the state is a majority shareholder in most instances.
Dee: The Shape of Things, a play by Neil LaBute, (A) expands on the central themes of society's distortional emphasis on appearances, and art as a potentially limitless and human-sculpting instrument. Linearly structured in three acts, the plot closely follows the problematic evolution of a student couple from a Midwest university. Starting as a discrepant match, Evelyn and Adam develop an oddly unequal relationship, as the former increasingly impacts major changes
Cultural Perceptions of Time in Africa Time is a foundational factor in every culture. The perception of time is different for most cultures and the determining factor to those differences is often based on the means of production. "Most cultures have some concept of time, although the way they deal with time may differ fundamentally." (Kokole 1994, 35) Tracing the perception of the concept of time in Africa can be seen
66). Furthermore, social software will only increase in importance in helping organizations maintain and manage their domains of knowledge and information. When networks are enabled and flourish, their value to all users and to the organization increases as well. That increase in value is typically nonlinear, where some additions yield more than proportionate values to the organization (McCluskey and Korobow, 2009). Some of the key characteristics of social software applications
