Promotion of low-skilled off-farm rural labor market participation can be an important strategy to improve livelihoods and food security of the poor in developing countries. This paper investigates rural farm households' participation in low-skilled off-farm labor markets with disaggregate data from a survey of 400 households in Tigray, the northern highlands of Ethiopia. Adopting Heckman's two...

Drawing on both my own personal experience and that of many colleagues and pupils, I shall describe three kinds of reactions to stage fright. The first is the primarily mental reaction of derealization, which involves feeling cut off from fear and decreasing body awareness. The second and third reactions to stage fright involve (a) increased and (b) decreased muscle tonus and their associated b...

This paper modifies Kak’s three-stage protocol so that it can guarantee secure transmission of information. Although avoiding man-in-the-middle attack is our primary objective in the introduction of classical authentication inside the three-stage protocol, we also benefit from the inherent advantages of the chosen classical authentication protocol. We have tried to implement ideas like key dist...

I. Introduction The US Food and Drug Administration sets performance limit on dissolution in terms of a specific percentage Q that the drug product is required to be dissolved at a specified time. Based on inferences from correlated bioavailability studies, these dissolution specifications were intended to assure that at least 80% of the labeled quantity of drug was available. When carried out ...

There has stayed an excessive arrangement of attentiveness newly in load-balancing adjustments owed to their humble construction and great furthering high frequency. However, the mis-arrangement difficult of the unique load-balancing alteration delays the performance of fundamental TCP presentations. Some load-balancing control strategies have stayed projected to discourse this mis-arrangement ...

1. Blood-clotting mechanism has been analyzed by a procedure which devotes a separate experimental step to each of the three primary reactions: 1. Prothrombokinase --> thrombokinase 2. Prothrombin --> thrombin 3. Fibrinogen --> fibrin 2. Activation of prothrombin by thrombokinase followed the course of a unimolecular reaction, and the concentration of thrombokinase determined the initial rate. ...

In this paper, the operational behavior of three-way Doherty amplifier loaded with harmonic control circuits is analyzed, including the efficiency and linearity. Amplifier is designed in configuration with two quarter-wave impedance transformers in the output combining circuit with LDMOSFETs in carrier and peaking amplifiers with the same periphery and in periphery relations 1:2.5:2.5. The sign...

Optimal routing of a path with constant width in two-dimensional grid cost-weighted square cells or pixels is recent extension the least-cost problem, and models solutions are available ready to be integrated into raster-based geographic information systems. In this article we consider yet another variation problem three-dimensional cubic voxels, which find tubular region voxels width, referred...
