As the United States looks ahead to the fiscal challenges of population aging, two facts stand out. First, the United States faces far smaller pension problems from population aging than do most other developed nations. Our combined fertility and immigration rates are higher than those of all other developed nations, and life expectancy is lower and projected to remain lower than in most other ...

Networked Infrastructure systems deliver services and/or products from point to point along the network. Demand for the services provided by such systems is typically cyclic, creating inefficiencies in capacity utilization. Congestion pricing provides incentives to shift demand from peak time periods to lower demand periods. This effectively increases the capacity of the system without the need...

The authors consider antiplane shearing motions of an incompressible visco-plastic solid. The particular constitutive equation employed assumes that the stress tensor has an “elastic” component and a component which can exhibit hysteresis. The model exhibits both “kinematic” and “isotropic” hardening. Our results consist of a set of energy type estimates for the resulting system, L2 contractivi...

(4) BANK WIRING TEST ROOM EXPERIMENT : The experiment was conducted to study a group of workers It was observed that the group evolved its own production norms for each individual worker, which was made lower than those set by the management. (1) SYSTEM : A System is a set of interdependent parts which together form a unitary whole. The organization is a sub system of four interdependent parts ...

The examination of the theory and history of financial crisis in Europe and the United States is the subject matter of two important works by Kindle Berger (Kindle Herger, 1978, and Kindle Berger & Lafarge, 1982). In his first work, Kindle Berger (1978), has provided us with a remarkable account of European and American financial history from 1720 to 1975. The second hook (Kindle Berger & Lafar...

The classical Yang-Mills radiation computed in the McLerran-Venugopalan model is shown to be equivalent to the gluon bremsstrahlung distribution to lowest (g) order in pQCD. The classical distribution is also shown to match smoothly onto the conventional pQCD mini-jet distribution at a scale k ? , characteristic of the initial parton transverse density of the system. The atomic number and energ...

Mental health courts (MHCs) generally began to appear in 1997. Today, more than 80 courts exist in the United States. In the present article, the authors argue that the 2nd generation of MHCs has arrived. The authors compare 8 previously described courts (P. A. Griffin, H. J. Steadman, & J. Petrila, 2002) with 7 newer courts that have not been previously described in the psycholegal literature....
