Several countries had an increase in female labour participation during the twentieth century. Even so, few of them can be proud of the conditions these women faced in dealing with family responsibilities and the labour market. This paper analyses the occupational distribution of men and women from 1978 to 2007 using the microdata of Pnad. It shows that women are entering traditional male occup...

high processing loads, need for complicated and frequent updating, and high false alarm are some of the challenges in designing anomaly detection and misuse detection systems. we propose a new network-based intrusion detection system (ids) that resolves such shortcomings. our scheme fuses anomaly detection and misuse detection systems, which has not been utilized so far in existing systems. in ...

Despite the consensus that criteria for cannabis abuse and dependence and symptoms of withdrawal are best explained by a single latent liability, it remains unknown whether alternative models provide a better explanation of these criteria. A series of latent factor, latent class, and hybrid factor mixture models were fitted to data from 872 recent cannabis users from the Minnesota Twin Family S...

Original methods for radar detection performance analysis are derived for a #uctuating or non-#uctuating target embedded in additive and a priori unknown noise. This kind of noise can be, for example, the sea or ground clutter encountered in surface-based radar for the detection of low grazing angle targets and/or in high-resolution radar. In these cases, the spiky clutter tends to have a stati...

OBJECTIVE We used a novel application of a signal detection technique, receiver operator characteristics (ROC), to describe factors entering a physician's decision to switch a patient from a typical high potency neuroleptic to a particular atypical, olanzapine (OLA) or risperidone (RIS). METHODS ROC analyses were performed on pharmacy records of 476 VA patients who had been treated on a high ...
