Statistical level density $\rho(E,A)$ is derived for nucleonic system with a given energy $E$, particle number $A$ and other integrals of motion in the micro-macroscopic approximation beyond standard saddle-point method Fermi gas model. This reaches two limits; well-known grand-canonical ensemble limit large entropy $S$ related to excitation energies, finite micro-canonical small combinatorical...

A simple framework for evaluating OMR at the symbol level is presented. While a true evaluation of an OMR system requires a high-level analysis, the automation of which is a largely unsolved problem, many high-level errors are correlated to these more tractably-analyzed lowerlevel errors.

I t is possible to think of the responsibilities of corporate managers on either the macro level--accountable to w h o m o r the micro level--accountable for what. Discussions of managerial responsibilities on the macro "to whom" level have been ongoing for years, certainly since Berle and Means (1936) first noted the replacement of company owners by professional managers, without reaching a wi...

The objective of this paper is to design and fabricate a micro-cooler to provide integral cooling to electronics or Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) type components utilizing current MEMS technologies. A three-port capillary pumped loop (CPL) was analyzed and fabricated from silicon and quartz for this purpose. An analytical study of the device is presented in support of this design. This ...

We analyze the offshorability of jobs using the German Qualifications and Career Survey. The paper differentiates between outsourcing potential and international tradability and systematically uses a large set of potential determinants of organizational and spatial relocation derived from the existing literature on offshoring. Applying principal component analysis, we are able to co...

Politeness research to date has generally adopted one of two views: the “traditional” view based on the dual premises of Grice’s Co-operative Principle and speech act theory (Lakoff 1973, Brown and Levinson 1987 [1978], Leech 1983), or the “post-modern” view, which rejects these premises and substitutes them by an emphasis on participants’ own perceptions of politeness (politeness1) and on the ...

Micro/nanosystems have attracted considerable interests and seen significant advances over the years. The huge gap between technology development and commercialization can be largely attributed to the challenges faced in the integration and packaging of the devices. The packaging has to work around the diverse functional requirements while ensuring that the device is able to perform effectively...
