We find conditions ensuring the existence of the one-sided Minkowski content for d-dimensional closed sets in R, in connection with regularity properties of their boundaries. Moreover, we provide a class of sets stable under finite unions for which the one-sided Minkowski content exists. It follows, in particular, that finite unions of sets with Lipschitz boundary and a type of sets with positi...

Multinational corporations (MNCs) are facing various labor legislations and labor institutions in different countries. This paper investigates the functions and effectiveness of Chinese unions in MNCs. Survey evidences suggest that Chinese unions play cooperative roles in helping MNCs to harmonize industrial relations (internal functions), and to build trust and long run coordination with the C...

This paper characterizes the integration patterns of international currency unions (such as the CFA Franc zone). We empirically explore different features of currency unions, and compare them to countries with sovereign monies by examining the criteria for Mundell’s concept of an optimum currency area. We find that members of currency unions are more integrated than countries with their own cur...

Flow typing is becoming a popular mechanism for typing existing programs written in untyped languages (e.g. JavaScript, Racket, Groovy). Such systems require intersections for the true-branch of a type test, negations for the false-branch, and unions to capture the flow of information at meet points. Type systems involving unions, intersections and negations require a subtype operator which is ...

In this paper we study the relationships existing between total measurability in variation and Gould type fuzzy integrability (introduced and studied in [21]), giving a special interest on their behaviour on atoms and on finite unions of disjoint atoms. We also establish that any continuous real valued function defined on a compact metric space is totally measurable in the variation of a regula...

PURPOSE To assess the efficacy of acute invaginating docking for infected non-unions of the humerus. METHODS Eight men and 3 women aged 17 to 59 years with infected non-unions of the humerus underwent acute invaginating docking with shortening and Ilizarov fixation. RESULTS The mean shortening was 2.9 cm owing to additional debridement. The mean time to external fixator removal was 14.9 (ra...
