We estimate the medium-term relationship between investment and unemployment over period 1960–2017 in 20 OECD countries, a that includes years of Great Recession. While neoclassical growth theory typically assumes full employment—with no effect on unemployment—and New-Keynesian models assume such only exists short term at business cycle frequencies, we find our sample covering more than 5 decad...

Accidental injury in school children was thought to be unpreventable. This series presents the results of 24 consecutive patients with 29 fractures as a result of a fall from a 'Tarzan' rope swing. Twenty-six of the fractures involved the upper limb, 11 patients required hospitalization with operative intervention and 13 required outpatient care only. These types of injury are preventable. The ...

iii The portable communications industry's vision of integrating a complete multimedia complex on a single die, coupled with the desktop computing industry's vision of integrating multimedia functionality into general-purpose microprocessors has transformed lowering the power dissipation of digital signal processing (DSP) datapath circuits into an increasingly important challenge in current and...

Cross-sectional surveys conducted during the 2012 U.S. presidential campaign showed large swings in support for the Democratic and Republican candidates, especially before and after the first presidential debate. Using a unique (in terms of scale, frequency, and source) panel survey, we find that daily sample composition varied more in response to campaign events than did vote intentions. Multi...

733 Abstract— This paper has studied subthreshold characteristics for double gate(DG) MOSFET using Gaussian function in solving Poisson's equation. Typical two dimensional analytical transport models have been presented for symmetrical Double Gate MOSFETs (DGMOSFETs). Subthreshold swing and threshold voltage are very important factors for digital devices because of determination of ON and OFF. ...

Wastewater treatment (WWT) of wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD) effluent, mercury and selenium control are becoming critical issues for many utilities operating with coal-fired power generation. Research has shown that absorber slurry oxidation reduction potential (ORP) is a primary factor for determination of control of WFGD chemistry. Previously unexplained swings in the ORP of operating WF...

This paper introduces a two-port BiCMOS static mem-ory cell that combines ECL level word-line voltage swings andemitter-follower bit line coupling with a static CMOS latchto achieve access times comparable to those of high-speedbipolar SRAM's, while preserving the high density and lowpower of CMOS memory arrays. The memory can be ac-cessed for read and write independentl...

Power system transient stability is one of the most challenging technical areas in electric power industry. Thyristorcontrolled series compensation (TCSC) is expected to improve transient stability and damp power oscillations. TCSC control in power system transients is a nonlinear control problem. This paper presents a T–S-model-based fuzzy control scheme and a systematic design method for the ...
