Article history: Received 25 October 2011 Available online 4 November 2011 A meta-analysis of longitudinal studies was conducted to investigate stability and change in work values across the life span. Both rank-order stability and mean-level change were investigated using an integrative classification for intrinsic, extrinsic, social and status work values (Ross, Schwartz, & Surkis, 1999). Res...

The baby-step giant-step algorithm, due to Shanks, may be used to solve the discrete logarithm problem in arbitrary groups. The paper explores a generalisation of this algorithm, where extra baby steps may be computed after carrying out giant steps (thus increasing the giant step size). The paper explores the problem of deciding how many, and when, extra baby steps should be computed so that th...

A number of very different mathematical models are used to predict the response immune system pathogenic microorganisms detected in body and corresponding course viral disease. Usually,such based on assumption that is a homogeneous envi-ronment which all factors evenly distributed.The article presents generalized discrete model Marchuk's infectious disease for complex accounting small diffusion...

oil uptake occurs mainly during cooling immediately after frying. post-frying centrifuge step used to remove the attached oil to the surface of friedproduct. response surface methodology (rsm) technique was used to develop models for the responses to the centrifugal force (100, 200 and 300 rpm) and centrifugal time (20, 50 and 80 s), frying temperature (140, 170 and 200 c) and frying time (4, ...
