Employers recognize that business success depends on the human capital that drives and supports company objectives.1 But what happens when the individuals who comprise the human capital – employees – aren’t meaningfully engaged in their work? Research studies in the last decade show that only about one in every five workers is highly engaged.2 These findings means that upwards of 80 percent of ...

The ABR service category of ATM architecture is a best effort service which aims to provide rapid access to unused network bandwidth at up to the link rate whenever the network bandwidth is available. As a result, the transfer characteristics provided by the network may change subsequent to connection establishment, and a congestion control mechanism is required. The ATM Forum has specified a c...

We report a gift exchange experiment in which there are no opportunities for reputation or repeated play game effects. In each play of the game, firms make wage offers to workers, and workers respond by either accepting or rejecting an offer and determining an effort level. Higher effort levels are more costly to workers and there is no mechanism for firms to punish or reward workers based on t...

For this project, teams of two students each will work together to research a topic in environmental fluid mechanics, write a report in a format consistent with this project description, and prepare a short in-class presentation. Students are free to choose their own topics, or they may choose from a list of suggestions. The report may be in the style of a case study or more fundamental in natu...

In recent years, utilization of feature selection techniques has become an essential requirement for processing and model construction in different scientific areas. In the field of software project effort estimation, the need to apply dimensionality reduction and feature selection methods has become an inevitable demand. The high volumes of data, costs, and time necessary for gathering data , ...

When performing multiple tasks in succession, self-organization of task order might be superior compared to external-controlled task schedules, because self-organization allows optimizing processing modes and thus reduces switch costs, and it increases commitment to task goals. However, self-organization is an additional executive control process that is not required if task order is externally...
