“…Substituting the initial values of ϒ and c in equations (1) and (2), the recursive Newton-Raphson could be applied to calculate the maximal value of the likelihood function and further estimate the model parameter. Hendry (2005) proposed to delete insignificant coefficients till all coefficient being significant. As a result, the estimated result, equation (8), is acquired after several tries.…”

Smooth Transition Regression Model (STR)is applied to analyze the non-linear effect of urbanization on economic growth in this study. By collecting relevant variable data in 1978-2012, fi nancial deepening is selected as the transition variable to construct the STR Model which could refl ect the dynamic change of urbanizational economic growth effect. The result shows that urbanizational economic growth effect should present the characteristics of threshold and could be described with non-linear Smooth Transition Model (LSTR1). Meanwhile, the urbanizational economic growth effect should reveal asymmetry, in which the research fi ndings show contemporary fi nancial deepening (FISt) as a factor. Specifi cally, the linear feature appears when the FISt is lower than 0.3792 (before 1990), while it reveals non-linearity when the FISt exceeds 0.3792 (after 1990), and the non-linearity becomes the major factor in the urbanizational economic growth effect after 1990.

“…In the somewhat extensive literature sources that were available to us, there are those devoted to the discovery of the PT [1,6,8,11,26,36], its reception [8], the contribution of physics to the periodic law [4,27], the definitions of the term element [10,11,15,20,25,28] and jubilees (centennial) of the death of Mendeleev [17]. The definition of element is in, a way, dual: it relies on a concept of element as an observable (elemental, or simple substance), but also on a concept of element as "a 'basic substance,' something that can survive chemical change and is the common component of different compound substances."…”

Several attempts are known lately intending to point to ‘the proper place’ for hydrogen (sometimes also helium) in the Periodic Table of the elements. There are altogether five different types of arguments that lead to the following conclusions: (1) Hydrogen should be placed in Group 1, above lithium; (2) Hydrogen should be placed in group 17, above fluorine; (3) Hydrogen is to be placed in group 14, above carbon; (4) Hydrogen should be positioned above both lithium and fluorine and (5) Hydrogen should be treated as a stand-alone element, in the center of the Periodic Table. Although all proposals are based on arguments, not all offered arguments sound equally convincing. An attempt is made, after critical reexamination of the offered arguments, to hopefully point to the best possible choice for the position of hydrogen. Few words are also mentioned on the structure of the Periodic Table and the (novel) attempts to reorganize it.

“…Furthermore, he applied the analytical criterion only patchily. He excluded many substances that had not been decomposed in the laboratory from his list of simple substances: some (like soda and potash) because by chemical analogy he suspected them of being compounds; others because he thought they contained as components one or more of his hypothetical elements (caloric, the ether, the fluoric radical) and, hence, must be compounds (see Hendry 2005, Section 2).…”

“…Mendeleev noted the explanatory requirements on basic substances and reasoned that they must carry from their simple substances to their compounds some property that determines their behavior in the different contexts. He identified the property in question as atomic, or elemental, weight (see Hendry 2005, Section 3).…”
