Employment sector and employer size account for substantial variation in workers' participation in employer-sponsored retirement plans.

Within the private sector, workers in firms with 100 or more emplo...

Database engines often consume significant power during query processing activities especially during complex query processing, which is motivating researchers to investigate the redesign of their database internals to minimize the energy overheads. While the prior literature has dealt exclusively with average power considerations, our focus here is on peak power consumption. We begin by profil...

Introduction: The complexity of the modern information carrying landscape requires a sophisticated view in which information is acquired rather than simply retrieved; where the process must be dynamic, incremental, and constrained by resource limitations. Information Gathering (IG) is an activity involving pro-active acquisition of information, from possibly heterogeneous sources, in response t...

The initial stages of spinodal decomposition were studied by subjecting a critical blend of model polyolefins to a pressure quench and monitoring the evolution by time-resolved small angle neutron scattering. Contrary to the predictions of the widely accepted Cahn-Hilliard-Cook theory, we demonstrate that coarsening of the phase-separated structure begins immediately after the quench and occurs...
