As the graying workforce increases and the work patterns of our younger workers are more mobile, knowledge retention, attrition, and transfer become key determinants of the longevity of an organization. This is particularly true in edge organizations, which thrive on adaptability and agility to survive. In order for workforce development and succession planning to be effective in edge organizat...

Background: The current workforce profile of Australian perioperative nurses comprises three generations: Baby Boomers, Generation X (Gen X) and Generation Y (Gen Y, the Millenials, the Net generation). While diversity within the general nursing workforce has been explored and published over the last two decades, there has been little empirical research to support the existence of generational ...

AIM(S) With many countries facing current or impending nursing shortages, considering the impact of the multigenerational workforce, their needs and behaviours may impact on efforts to recruit and retain nurses. BACKGROUND As the nursing workforce changes, with ageing nurses, an increased demand for nursing care and an ageing population, greater emphasis is placed on an understanding of the w...

An oldest-first generational garbage collector leaves intact the most recently allocated object space, and instead collects the remaining, older objects. Because these older objects have had more time to die, an oldestfirst copying collector will generally do less copying that a traditional generational collector (which operates youngest-first), a non-generational collector, and even Clinger an...

Literature Review Neil Howe and William Strauss, authors of such titles as Generations, the History of America’s Future, 15842069 and Millennials Rising, are credited with developing and popularizing the ‘generational theory,’ in which differences among generations are treated in a cyclical fashion.2 The majority of the literature that follows Howe and Strauss is largely concerned with human re...

The effects of cadmium toxicity may vary between animals with different history of metal exposure. The aim of our study was to examine HSP70, protein carbonyl levels, catalase activity and total antioxidant capacity in the heads of Spodoptera exigua (Hübner) larvae originated from undergoing 1- and 44-generational cadmium treatment and in control (those that were not exposed to cadmium). We als...

Intra-generational inequalities focus on the distributions within age groups. On basis of French household income surveys carried out from 1996 to 2014, Gini coefficient and D9/D1 inter-decile ratio were calculated so as evaluate intra-generational inequality before after redistribution by tax welfare system. Age-Cohort-Period models then estimated in order disentangle generation effects. Over ...

Algorithm research of task scheduling is one of the key techniques in grid computing. This paper firstly describes a DAG task scheduling model used in grid computing environment, secondly discusses generational scheduling (GS) and communication inclusion generational scheduling (CIGS) algorithms. Finally, an improved CIGS algorithm is proposed to use in grid computing environment, and it has be...
