Purpose - This study empirically investigated whether national distances (Cultural, Administrative, Geographic and Economic distance) have different effects on industries in different ways. Design/methodology - The empirical model utilized industry level export trade data to examine the differentiated effects of each national distance. By using direct measurement and covering 75 countries, this paper analyzes the effect of distances in different industries. More specifically, this study classified the industries into a more-sensitive/less-sensitive scale. Findings - The empirical results showed the complicated impacts of national distances on trade. Trade in industries that are more sensitive to cultural and administrative distances was not decreased as greatly as trade in industries that are less sensitive to cultural and administrative distances. Also, industries that are more sensitive to geographic distance showed a stronger negative impact on trade than less sensitive industries. Lastly, economic distance decreased trade for industries that are more sensitive to economic distance, while economic distance did not significantly increase trade for industries that are less sensitive to economic distance. Originality/value - As the first study to empirically find out whether national distance has different effects on industries, this study updated the measurements of national distance.

In this paper, we utilize an implicit relation to improve and extend some strict common fixed point results of the existing literature to two pairs of hybrid mappings in 2-metric spaces via altering distances. As an application, we also prove some strict common fixed point theorems for hybrid pairs of mappings satisfying a contractive condition of integral type in 2-metric spaces.

Atanassov [1,2] and Szmidt and Kacprzyk[7,8] studied various methods for measuring distances between intuitionistic fuzzy sets. In this paper, we consider interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets and discuss these methods for measuring distances between interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets.

Attempting to make an economic valuation of semi-liquid manure raises various complex questions. These are the valuation under different farming conditions, cost-benefit analysis in connection with the investment requirements of different semi-liquid manure systems, different storage capacities, transportation distances and treatment procedures. In the following, there questions will be discussed : 1. What value do the different types of semi-liquid manure have under different farming conditions? 2. Which storage capacities are economically justified? 3. Under which conditions is the transport of semi-liquid manure over long distances profitable?

In [6], Godefroy defined octahedral norms to give an isomorphic characterization of spaces containing $\ell_1$. Here we will show that such norms can be defined by using "average distances" as introduced in[1]. Also, we indicate some other properties of average distances : in particular, we give some estimates for their values in the product of two spaces, furnished with the max or the sum norm.

We are interested in the problem of determining the best fitted circle to a set of data points in space. This can be usually obtained by minimizing the geometric distances or various approximate algebraic distances from the fitted circle to the given data points. In this paper, we propose an algorithm in such a way that the sum of the squares of the geometric distances is minimized in ${\mathbb{R}}^3$. Our algorithm is mainly based on the steepest descent method with a view of ensuring the convergence of the corresponding objective function Q(u) to a local minimum. Numerical examples are given.

Measuring distances at cosmological scales is one of the most important, yet most difficult to acquire astronomical quantities, allowing astronomers to determine the expansion rate of the universe. Typically, astronomers have sought to find "standard candles" that have a known intrinsic brightness in order to determine their distance. The most well known standard candles are Type 1a supernova and Cepheid variable stars making the so-called "distance ladder". Here we present a method for determining cosmological distances via light travel-time arguments, which can be extended from nearby sources to very high redshift sources.

Robust analogues of the likelihood ratio test are considered for testing of hypotheses involving multiple discrete distributions. The test statistics are generalizations of the Hellinger deviance test of Simpson(1989) and disparity tests of Lindsay(1994), obtained by looking at a 'penalized' version of the distances; harris and Basu (1994) suggest that the penalty be based on reweighting the empty cells. The results show that often the tests based on the ordinary and penalized distances enjoy better robustness properties than the likelihood ratio test. Also, the tests based on the penalized distances are improvements over those based on the ordinary distances in that they are much closer to the likelihood ratio tests at the null and their convergence to the x$^2$ distribution appears to be dramatically faster; extensive simulation results show that the improvement in performance of the tests due to the penalty is often substantial in small samples.

We analyze Inter-Aircraft Distances between Two Closest Flying Passenger Aircrafts on a Global Scale from Real Aviation Databases. Then, We Reveal that the Distances Follow a Gamma-Pareto Distribution. Our Finding is Useful for Designing Wireless Transceivers Since it Gives the Probability Distribution Regarding the Link Distances which the Wireless Transceivers should Cover for Providing Internet Services.

For the domestic railways, we carry out the speed-up project for the maximum speed, came out of the plan on the schedule speed improvement, such as the Gyeongbu HSR 1st and 2nd step project and the speed-up project of the major trunk railways. As the speed increase, we shall review the conventional calculation methods for braking distances and identify the increase of braking distances. In this way, we shall secure the safe braking distances.
