From 1863-1914, banks in the U.S. could issue notes subject to full collateral, a per-period tax on outstanding notes, redemption of notes on demand, and a clearing fee per issued note cleared through the Treasury. The system failed to satisfy a purported arbitrage condition; i.e., the yield on collateral exceeded the tax rate plus the product of the clearing fee and the average clearing rate o...

this paper focuses on aftershocks behavior and seismicity along some co-seismic faults for large earthquakes in iran. the data of aftershocks and seismicity roughly extracted from both the institute of geophysics the university of tehran (igut) and international seismological center (isc) catalogs. apply some essential methods on 43 large earthquakes data; like the depth, magnitude as well as t...

Energy absorber systems like metallic dampers for controlling the structural vibrations due to earthquake have witnessed considerable development in the past few decades. Also there are some studies on the energy absorption of thin-walled tubes due to impact load. Thin-walled tubes have a large deformation capacity and are suitable energy absorbers in the structure during an earthquake provided...

Using Appreciative Inquiry to Improve RN Retention in a Clinical Float Pool by Janet Buck MSN, Walden University, 2010 ASN, Excelsior College, 1990 Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Nursing Practice Walden University August 2015 Abstract In an Idaho-based hospital, the registered nurse (RN) turnover rate in the float pool was excessively high. The ...

BACKGROUND Compliance with Professional Association of Internes and Residents of Ontario duty hour guidelines has been problematic at our institution. To facilitate orthopedic residents' ability to go home postcall without significant disruption of ongoing clinical activities, a novel call system was adopted at our tertiary care centre. We sought to evaluate the satisfaction and quality of life...

With the continuous development of traffic construction, road engineering inevitably crosses aeolian sand river valley area. Compared with general sandy soil and silty soil, cohesionless foundation has similar properties fluid higher liquefaction potential. Precast cement pile can greatly improve vertical bearing capacity foundation, but this paper finds that it also antiliquefaction effect whe...
