This paper investigates the impact of various forms of part-time work on firm productivity. It is based on the estimation of labour-augmented production functions à-la Hellerstein Neumark, where the total volume of work is accomplished by three categories of workers: full-timers (the reference), long part-timers [55− < 85%] and short part-timers [< 55%]. The relative productivity of longand sho...

Objectives The number of part-time staff is increasing every year, and they are becoming very essential in completing the workforce. Healthcare assurance for part-timers will be an important issue future. purpose our study was to collect recent data examine status health management employees workplaces. Methods We administered a questionnaire at 14,000 workplaces that were randomly selected fro...

The behavior of routing protocols during convergence is critical as it impacts end-to-end performance. Network convergence is particularly important in BGP, the current interdomain routing protocol. In order to decrease the amount of exchanged routing messages and transient routes, BGP routers rely on MRAI timers [35] and route flap damping [40]. These timers are intended to limit the exchange ...

In considering systems of distributed processes, we must deal with access to resources, locations and communication among processes. In this paper we present a new model for timed coordination of communicating distributed processes using an extension of the π-calculus with locations, types and timers. Types are used to express restricted access to distributed resources. Timers de ne timeouts fo...

Grape canes are byproducts of viticulture containing valuable bioactive stilbenoids including monomers and oligomers of E-resveratrol. Although effective contents in stilbenoids are known to be highly variable, the determining factors influencing this composition remain poorly understood. As stilbenoids are locally induced defense compounds in response to phytopathogens, this study assessed the...

During the UD’s and CCNY’s ongoing effort to generate conformance tests for the Army network protocol MIL-STD 188-220, a significant obstacle has been addressed—when multiple timers are running simultaneously, a test sequence may become unrealizable if there are conflicting conditions based on a protocol’s timers. This problem, termed the conflicting timers problem, is handled in the hitherto g...

Introduction This application note describes how to use the different timers of the Atmel AVR. The intention of this document is to give a general overview of the timers, show their possibilities, and explain how to configure them. The code examples will make this clearer and can be used as guidance for other applications. The Atmel ATmega328PB is used as an example in this document to explain ...

ABSTRACT Objective: this study aims to verify if companies that practice equity market timing have higher earnings management levels around the stock issue period. Method: we used a sample of 68 seasoned offerings (SEOs) in Brazil from 2004-2015. First, ranked among (timers) behavior SEOs and those did not (non-timers). Second, estimated each company’s by Modified Jones with ROA models. Finally...
