The selection of workers into part-time jobs, and the wages they earn, are analysed using Canadian data. We focus on the distinction between voluntary and involuntary part-time workers since involuntary part-timers earn substantially lower wages than voluntary part-timers. We nd that the selection of individuals into involuntary part-time work is more closely tied to job characteristics such as...

We had previously reported Fowler-Nordheim (FN) tunneling based self-powered timers that can continuously operate without the need for any external powering. Therefore, the timers could be used for dynamic SecureID-type authentication of passive Internet-of-Things (IoTs) like RFID sensors, tags or untethered assets like SMDs. While the timer device has been shown to be robust to fabrication mis...

A recent model for testing systems with multiple timers is extended to compute proper input delays and timeout settings, and is applied to several types of timers required in a testing procedure. In the model, any transition in the specification can be made conditional on a set of running timers. Depending on the path taken to reach an edge, the values of the timer variables may render the trav...

The article presents a comparative political and psychological analysis of the Russian governors divided into two categories: “newcomers” “old-timers”. focuses study their personal characteristics within following levels: cognitive, affective, behavioral. At each level, certain components were studied in relation to transformation governorate’s institution, which then allowed identify main tren...

This paper presents an architecture for implementing TCP timers efficiently at user-level, as part of the Cambridge User-Level TCP (CULT). The unusual architecture that CULT presents (as opposed to the normal in-kernel arrangement) makes the use of a separate thread for timers undesirable. In addition, the facilities for accurate time measurement and scheduling at user-level are limited in comp...

Assessing the Importance of Male and Female Part-Time Work for the Gender Earnings Gap in Britain This study examines the role of individual characteristics, occupation, industry, region, and workplace characteristics in accounting for differences in hourly earnings between men and women in full and part-time jobs in Britain. A four-way gender-working time split (male fulltimers, male part-time...

A chemical investigation of the Orchidaceae Arundina gramnifolia has led to the isolation of a novel stilbenoid, named arundinan (1). The structure of 1 has been elucidated as 2-(p-hydroxybenzyl)-3-hydroxy-5-methoxybibenzyl on the basis of physical and chemical evidence and spectral analysis.
