The Effects of the State Sector on Wage Inequality in Urban China: 1988–2007 This paper examines the effects of state sector domination on wage inequality in urban China. Using Chinese Household Income Project surveys, we conduct two exercises: with quantile regression analysis, we identify wage gaps across the distribution and over time; and we employ the Machado and Mata (2005) decomposition ...

In this article objective have been made to reviews different geostatistical methods available to estimate and simulate petrophysical properties (porosity and permeability) of the reservoir. Different geostatistical techniques that allow the combination of hard and soft data are taken into account and one refers the main reason to use the geostatistical simulation rather than estimation. Uncert...

Here, Adomian decomposition method has been used for finding approximateand numerical solutions of nonlinear differential difference equations arising inmathematical physics. Two models of special interest in physics, namely, theHybrid nonlinear differential difference equation and Relativistic Toda couplednonlinear differential-difference equation are chosen to illustrate the validity andthe g...

Homothallic switching of the mating-type MATa gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae results from replacement by gene conversion of MAT-Ya DNA with Y(alpha) sequences copied from one of two unexpressed donors. MATa preferentially recombines with HML(alpha), located near the left end of chromosome III, but can use HMR(alpha), near the right chromosome end. MATa donor preference depends on a 700 bp ori...

The present findings suggest that Anopheles (Kerteszia) homunculus may comprise more than one species. The rDNA ITS2 sequence data corroborate the presence of An. homunculus l.s. in Mata Atlântica, southern Brazil, and suggest that specimens from Trinidad may belong to an unnamed morphologically similar species. There is a need for additional studies to establish the geographical distribution o...

The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has many traits that make it useful for studies of quantitative inheritance. Genome-wide association studies and bulk segregant analyses often serve as first steps toward the identification of quantitative trait loci. These approaches benefit from having large numbers of ascospores pooled by mating type without contamination by vegetative cells. To thi...

The population growth, is increase in the number of individuals in population and it depends on some random environment effects. There are several different mathematical models for population growth. These models are suitable tool to predict future population growth. One of these models is logistic model. In this paper, by using Feynman-Kac formula, the Adomian decomposition method is applied to ...

This paper considers two recently proposed semiparametric estimators for distribution-free binary response models under a conditional median restriction. It shows that these estimators can be implemented in Stata using nl through simple modifications to the nonlinear least squares probit criterion function. We then introduce dfbr, a new Stata command which implements these estimators, and provi...
