In response to the demanding change in work environments, most companies not only depend on traditional training, but also on e-learning and emphasizing it in safety and health. The benefits and cost effectiveness of the benefits of e-learning training are trusted. Nevertheless, accidents still happen at the workplace. This has become an issue to be studied, especially on the effectiveness of e...

The Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model was introduced by David Sherrington and Scott Kirkpatrick in 1975 as a simple ‘solvable’ (in their words) model for spin-glasses. Spin-glasses are some type of magnetic alloys, and ‘solvable’ meant that the asymptotic free entropy density could be computed exactly. It turns out that the original SK solution was incorrect and in fact inconsistent (the autho...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate how the Kirkpatrick Learning Evaluation Model (1950) can be augmented to make it more credible and successful evaluation parameter in the changing times. Since the advent of Information Technology industry the rigid structures of organizations are replaced by the Flat/ Matrix structures, removing the bars of time and place. This paper is an attempt to...

In [10] Michel Talagrand gave a rigorous proof of the Parisi formula in the SherringtonKirkpatrick model. In this paper we build upon the methodology developed in [10] and extend Talagrand’s result to a more general class of mean field models with spins distributed according to an arbitrary probability measure on the bounded subset of the real line and with external field term given by an arbit...

The most cited work (by far) to provide safety factor estimates for the wing bones of flying vertebrates is inaccurate. Kirkpatrick (Kirkpatrick, 1994) presented extremely low measurements for the material properties of wing bones and anomalous estimates of applied loading that deflate estimated safety factors to around half those reported by subsequent workers. He also did not discuss the limi...
