Ray Marshall 6th Annual Konopka Lecture May, 1983 INTRODUCTION Dr. Marshall’s insights and perspectives on youth employment have emerged from his work in governmental, private , and academic settings. He served as Secretary of Labor during the Carter Administration (1977-1980) and is presently the Bernard Rapoport Centennial Professor of Economics and Public Affairs at the University of Texas. ...

Marshall was the great synthesiser of neoclassical economics. Yet with his qualified assumption of self-interest, his emphasis on variation in economic evolution, and his cautious attitude to the use of mathematics, Marshall differs fundamentally from other leading neoclassical contemporaries. Metaphors inspire more specific analogies and ontological assumptions, and Marshall used the guiding m...

Asphalt concrete pavements have a short life cycle, failing mainly due to temperature changes, traffic loading and ageing. Modified asphalt mixtures provide the technology to produce a bituminous binder with improved viscoelastic properties, which remain in balance over a wider temperature range and loading conditions. In this research, 60/70 penetration grade asphalt binder was modified by add...

An assessment of asphaltic mixes on failed sections along Ado – Ikere road, Southwest Nigeria has been carried out. The study designed to fully understand and account for the incessant pavement failures aside soil characterization. Samples asphalt concrete were collected from road. samples subjected density measurements, bitumen extraction, sieve analysis, hot mix Marshall Stability flow tests....

Finding alternative to most well known classical family of distributions has become a topic of high importance in academic research due to their striking properties. An increasing interest can be observed for the art of adding parameter to some existing distributions as one parameter family of distributions is not sufficient to handle various real contexts. There is a vast amount of literature ...
