Abstract We study whether the Swiss short-time work (STW) program reduced unemployment in and after Great Recession using quarterly establishment-level panel data linking administrative sources. compare changes layoffs into unemployment, employment, establishment survival between establishments that applied successfully unsuccessfully for STW at cantonal employment agencies. The unsuccessful pr...

In this paper we study the automation of test derivation and execution in the area of conformance testing. The test scenarios are derived from multiple specification languages: LOTOS, Promela and SDL. A central theme of this study is the usability of batch-oriented and on-the-fly testing approaches. To facilitate the derivation from multiple formal description techniques and the different test ...

Linear systems controlled by a nonlinear version of the PI algorithm are under study. The modified PI controller in question is known in the literature as the Super–Twisting (STW) algorithm (see Levant (1993)), and it belongs to the family of second order sliding mode controllers. The considered closed–loop system exhibits self–sustained stable oscillations (chattering) when the relative degree...

Disharmony in a family, which is the result of broken home, can have an impact on level individual psychological well-being. This study aims to describe well-being students who experience homes. uses qualitative method with case design. Participants were selected using purposive sampling technique characteristics being male and coming from home families. There three participants, namely BO, LC ...

Background: Walking, sit-to-stand (STS) and sit-to-walk (STW) are all considered important functional tasks in achieving independence after stroke. Despite knowledge that sensitive measurement of movement patterns is crucial to understanding neuromuscular restitution, there surprisingly little information available about the detailed biomechanical characteristics of, relationships between, walk...

Electroacoustic resonators employing surface acoustic waves (SAW) are commercially widely used in RF filters, low noise frequency sources as well as various sensors. In all of these applications the resonance quality factor appears to be a limiting performance factor. Quite often practical Q factors are not limited by the materials, but by design deficiencies, enabling energy loss outside the r...

The National Energy Technology Laboratory, the Japan Oil, Gas and Metals Corporation, U.S. Geological Survey are leading an effort to conduct extended gas hydrate production test in northern Alaska. proposed required drilling of initial stratigraphic well (STW) confirm geologic conditions site. This was completed January 2019 cooperation with Prudhoe Bay Unit Working Interest Owners. Hydrate-01...

In his recent paper, Dobson (2005) concludes that, contrary to the work of McHenry and Berger (1998a,b), the pattern of differences in joint proportions between the partial skeleton Stw 431 and A.L. 288-1 ‘‘does not correspond to the pattern revealed from a comparison of large samples of unassociated postcranial material from Sterkfontein Member 4 and Hadar’’ (Dobson, 2005, p. 153). Using exact...
