Abstract We estimate how much firms differentiate pay premia between regular and outsourced workers in temp agency work arrangements. leverage unique Argentinian administrative data that feature links user (the workplaces where perform their labor) agencies (their formal employers). a high-wage firm pays worker 10% premium on average only 4.9% premium, compared to what these would earn low-wage...

Climate variables are known to be subject abrupt changes when some threshold levels surpassed. We use data for the last 798,000 years on global ice volume (Ice), atmospheric carbon dioxide level (CO2), and Antarctic land surface temperature (Temp) model measure those long-run nonlinear climate effects. The have very long asymmetric cycles, created by periods of upward trends, followed downward ...

A smartphone is said to be an extension of a mobile user’s oneself. It the ultimate device today for humans, one that humans cannot avoid using, leave behind when on move and becomes necessity own one. allows communicate perform many daily personal tasks. Smartphones continue evolve embedding advanced technologies, sophisticated processes applications. This symbiotic combination generates immen...

Aim: Novel quinazolin-4(3H)-one heterocycles were synthesized and assessed for their anti-diabetic activity. Non-enzymatic glycosylation of haemoglobin assay was carried out to identify potential as anti-diabetic. The cyclization quinazolinone-4(3H)-one achieved, whereas carbon-carbon cross coupling reactions using Sonogashira Suzuki-Miyaura reaction conditions characterized with analysis. This...

Microautoradiography was employed to show that association of drugs from the serum directly with forming hair pigment is a primary pathway of deposition into the hair. After systemic administration of [3H]flunitrazepam, [3H]nicotine, and [3H]cocaine, association of all three drugs with melanin in the forming hair was observed within minutes of dosage. Sebum was determined to be an insignificant...

Smart systems require intefacing more of the world in an integrated solution (Camera, gyroscope, compass, temp, direction, ....). This is imposed by social evolution and enabled by new integration technologies. So far, many products featuring a variety of hardware and software have been developed and many more seems to be coming in a fast growing market. The panel will present the most promisin...

Fusarium oxysporum, isolated from infected tomato plant parts, produced maximum cellulase at optimum parameters (pH, 6.0; temp., 50°C; and incubation period, 12 d) in cellulase enzyme production broth having 1% CMC (carboxy methyl cellulose) as a cellulose substrate. Activities of purified cellulases (mol wt, 24, 29 and 45 kDa) were stimulated by concentrations (0-70 mM) of Na and Mg, while EDT...

A single dose of psilocybin, a psychedelic and serotonin 2A receptor (5-HT2AR) agonist, may be associated with antidepressant effects. The mechanism behind its antidepressive action is unknown but could linked to increased synaptogenesis down-regulation cerebral 5-HT2AR. Here, we investigate if psilocybin changes synaptic vesicle protein (SV2A) 5-HT2AR density in the pig brain. Twenty-four awak...
