High Relocation Costs in Search-Matching Models: Theory and Application to Spatial Mismatch We develop a standard search-matching model in which mobility costs are so high that it is too costly for workers to relocate when a change in their employment status occurs. We show that, in equilibrium, wages increase with distance to jobs and commuting costs because firms need to compensate the transp...

In São Paulo State, Brazil, the epidemic increase in isolation of Salmonella Enteritidis has been observed since 1994. A total of 105 S. Enteritidis strains (72 from human and 33 from non-human sources) isolated during the period 1975-1995, previously characterized by phage typing, was analyzed by antimicrobial susceptibility, plasmid profile, and ribotyping. Over 70% of the strains were suscep...

Metal matrix composites, in particular, Aluminium Matrix Composites are gaining increasing attention for applications in aerospace, defence and automobile industries. The use of nonconventional machining techniques in shaping aluminum metal matrix composites has generated considerable interest as the manufacturing of complicated contours such as dies. Electrical discharge machining (EDM) appear...

S. aureus infection causes several skin diseases, such as impetigo, carbuncles, folliculitis, etc. Irritation and some discomforts are also frequently reported. What’s worse, the sometimes penetrates through epidermis, causing a necrotic ulcer—ecthyma. These infections characterized clinically by abrupt tissue destruction, systemic signs of toxicity, high mortality [Dennis L. Stevens, 2022]. Ba...

Appearance properties of vegetables can affect consumers' acceptance toward them as well purchase intent. Hence, appearance is highly associated with quality edamame ( Glycine max (L.) Merr.), a protein-rich vegetable that experiencing increased sales in the USA. Edamame high-value specialty crop and its production has been promoted Virginia other states USA where tobacco decreased last decade....

We report high resolution infrared spectra in the CF stretching fundamental ranges of trifluoromethylacetylene (CF3−C≡C-H, 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne) and tetrafluoromethane (CF4, R14, PCF-14, Halocarbon14). For experiments a diode laser setup combined with supersonic jet expansion is described, achieving approximate rotational temperatures between 5 10 K for CF4, using pulsed slit nozzle providing...
