We study the labor supply implications of Old-Age Pension Act (OPA) 1908, which, for first time, provided pensions to older people in UK. Using recently released census data covering entire population, we exploit variation at newly created age-based eligibility threshold. Our results show a considerable and abrupt decline force participation 6.0 percentage points (13%) when workers reach age 70...

causes, being 1*47 per cent, of tho convict population, 4-0 per cent, of tho admissions into hospital, and 4*43 per cent, of the average strength in continement. These results approximate very closely to tho returns for 1871; but to make the record of mortality a perfectly correct gaugo of the sanitary condition of the prisoners, it is necessary to regard every caso released on account of serio...

Document retrieval is the task of returning relevant textual resources for a given user query. In this paper, we investigate whether the semantic analysis of the query and the documents, obtained exploiting state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing techniques (e.g., Entity Linking, Frame Detection) and Semantic Web resources (e.g., YAGO, DBpedia), can improve the performances of the traditio...

Developmental stages of Meloidogyne javanica were successfully released from roots by treatment with commercially available cellulase and pectinase. The average percentage recovery of nematode developmental stages from Dolichos lablab, Elymus glaucus, and Lycopersicon esculentum were as follows: eggs = 526%, J2 = 272%, J3 = 783%, J4 = 549%, adult females = 285%, and total = 425%, expressed as p...

Introduction: The aim of the study was to evaluate the sustained release effect of 2% chlorhexidine and its combination with 2% chitosan, in vitro. Method: The sustained release effect of chlorhexidine and its combination with chitosan was determined using a UV spectrophotometer. Results: UV spectrophotometer analysis for the sustained release of chlorhexidine showed that almost 100% of chlorhe...

objective(s): the purpose of the present study was to prepare and to evaluate a novel niosome as transdermal drug delivery system for propranolol hydrochloride and to compare the in vitro efficiency of niosome by either thin film hydration or hand shaking method. materials and methods: niosomes were prepared by thin film hydration (tfh) or hand shaking (hs) method. propranolol niosomes were pre...

BACKGROUND Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine should reduce cervical dysplasia before cervical cancer. However, dysplasia diagnosis is screening-dependent. Accurate screening estimates are needed. PURPOSE To estimate the percentage of women in a geographic population that has had cervical cancer screening. METHODS We analyzed claims data for (Papanicolau) Pap tests from 2008-2012 to estimat...

Potato breeding aims to improve crop productivity, quality and resilience based on heritable characteristics. Estimating the trait heritability correlations—both genetic phenotypic—among characteristics in a target population of environments allows us define best method that leads selection gains. Breeding clones (47) released cultivars (209) were grown using simple lattice designs at three tes...
