The Compensation and Benefits Package is considered the main employee’s motivator. As such, it plays a crucial role in determining successful recruiting, engagement, retention strategies. Failing to offer right package, will be translated into additional costs. This study aimed identify what type of compensation benefits Albanian employees receive their relationship with job satisfaction, befor...

This paper presents the R/Bioconductor package stepwiseCM, which classifies cancer samples using two heterogeneous data sets in an efficient way. The algorithm is able to capture the distinct classification power of two given data types without actually combining them. This package suits for classification problems where two different types of data sets on the same samples are available. One of...

Characterization of I/O channels, signal quality, and supply noise in 3-D packaged systems is very challenging due to the small footprint and complex 3-D interaction. This paper presents several enabling techniques to allow on-chip signal and power integrity characterization for the 3-D packaged systems. They provide comprehensive in-situ characterization capabilities for measuring overall link...

This paper analyzes a four-arm randomized evaluation of multi-faceted economic inclusion intervention delivered by the Government Niger to female beneficiaries national cash transfer program. All three treatment arms include core package group savings promotion, coaching, and entrepreneurship training, in addition regular transfers from The first variant also includes lump-sum grant is similar ...

The environmental benefits of solar electricity generating capacity vary across the U.S. according to solar irradiance, weather, conventional generation fleets, grid characteristics, and population. Though the 1.1 million distributed solar generation systems installed in the U.S are incentivized by local, state and federal programs, virtually none of these varies subsidies according to expected...

Analysing and understanding population-specific cardiac function is a challenging task due to the complex dynamics observed in both healthy and diseased subjects and the difficulty in quantitatively comparing the motion in different subjects. It was proposed to use affine parameters extracted from a Polyaffine motion model for a group of subjects to represent the 3D motion regionally over time ...

A new object-oriented Minimization package is available for distribution in the same manner as CLHEP. This package, designed for use in HEP applications, has all the capabilities of Minuit, but is a re-write from scratch, adhering to modern C++ design principles. A primary goal of this package is extensibility in several directions, so that its capabilities can be kept fresh with as little main...

BACKGROUND The Irish government has committed to expand midwifery-led care alongside consultant-led care nationally, although very little is known about the potential net benefits of this reconfiguration. OBJECTIVES To formally compare the costs and benefits of the major models of care in Ireland, with a view to informing priority setting using the contingent valuation technique and cost-bene...
