Compared to self-employed men, self-employed women have more education but considerably lower earnings, generating differences in the returns to education by gender. This paper finds evidence that men typically benefit from a complementary relationship between education and earnings. However, women are heterogenous in their returns to education. Women who self-employ in traditionally female occ...

Let G(V,X) be a finite and simple graph of order n size m. The complement G, denoted by G¯, is the obtained removing lines G adding that are not in G. A self-complementary if only it isomorphic to its complement. In this paper, we define δ-complement δ′-complement as follows. For any two points u v with degu=degv remove between add which thus called degu≠degv δ(δ′)-self-complementary G≅Gδ(G≅Gδ′...

The amylome is the universe of proteins that are capable of forming amyloid-like fibrils. Here we investigate the factors that enable a protein to belong to the amylome. A major factor is the presence in the protein of a segment that can form a tightly complementary interface with an identical segment, which permits the formation of a steric zipper-two self-complementary beta sheets that form t...

This research aims to examines the influence mechanism of complementary fit on repatriates’ innovation behavior. This research builds a theoretical model on complementary fit, knowledge transfer and innovation behavior, recognizes the moderating variable, creative self-efficacy. The empirical analysis data is collected from 260 repatriates from Multinational Corporations Xi’ an, Nanjing, Shangh...

Naturally occurring hammerhead ribozymes are produced by rolling circle replication followed by self-cleavage. This results in monomer-length catalytic RNAs which have self-complementary sequences that can occupy their trans -binding domains and potentially block their ability to cleave other RNA strands. Here we show, using small self-processed ribozymes, that this self-binding does not necess...

BACKGROUND Patients are increasingly using complementary therapies, often for chronic conditions. Asthma is the most common chronic condition in the UK. Previous research indicates that some asthma patients experience gaps in their NHS care. However, little attention has been given to how and why patients and parents of children with asthma use complementary therapies and the implications for N...

OBJECTIVE To compare patients with and without mental disorders who seek services from a complementary therapy practitioner with regard to quality of life, reasons for seeking complementary therapies, complaints, and physical conditions. METHOD We studied new patients who attended a complementary therapy clinic offering acupuncture treatment between July 1, 1993, and March 31, 1995. We collec...
