Amidst continuing difficulties in justifying the expenditure on e-Government with financial and other returns, we examine whether the delivery of government services online facilitates the setting up of new businesses in a country. Using a panel assembled from three public sources of data, we examine whether delivering more and more government services online reduces the number of procedures th...

Due to the lack of consistent data, direct and robust comparisons of cross-country labour markets have been virtually impossible. This study uses a new panel data series that controls for inconsistencies, thus overcoming this problem. This study estimates gender wage differentials and gender discrimination in the German and United Kingdom labour markets. Panel estimates are used to identify gen...

J. C. Maxwell derived formulae for the calculation of current density and current in a cylindrical conductor supplied with variable current. In the 1950s K. Simonyi published a method for calculating current density in a cylindrical conductor made up of two conductors, cylindrical and tubular, of different resistivities. The present paper proves that Simonyi’s result is incorrect. The main atte...

understanding how a cutout influences the load bearing capacity and buckling behavior of cylindrical shells is fundamental in the design of structural components used in automobiles, aircrafts, and marine structures. in this article, simulation and analysis of steel cylindrical shells with various lengths, include quasi elliptical cutout, subjected to axial compression were systematically carri...

For a set S of cells in a cylindrical algebraic decomposition of R, we introduce the notion of generalized cylindrical algebraic formula (GCAF) associated with S. We propose a multi-level heuristic algorithm for simplifying the cylindrical algebraic formula associated with S into a GCAF. The heuristic strategies are motivated by solving examples coming from the application of automatic loop tra...

The aim of this paper is to explore how interpersonal variation in risk preference affects human capital investment and wage growth. To date, there has been a distinct lack of empirical research in this area despite the fact that the risk preference of individuals plays a key role in the theory of human capital accumulation. We investigate the link between risk preference, human capital investm...

The advantages, disadvantages, and issues involved in the panel analysis of travel behavior are discussed. Increased statistical efficiency, possibility of improved prediction, and the ability to observe changes and examine behavioral dynamics, are among the advantages panel data offer. Their disadvantages, on the other hand, stem from the added biases and costs of panel survey, and increased c...

Synchronous generators are of two type’s salient pole type and round rotor type. The load angle curve of a cylindrical rotor synchronous machine comprises a single sine term only while in salient pole synchronous generators, power-angle characteristic has two terms. The first term is the fundamental component due to field excitation (the same as the cylindrical rotor) and the second term ...

In engineering applications, especially in the field of modern military defence, the cylindrical shells, conical shells and coupled conical-cylindrical shells are basically simplified models of many types of weapons and equipment, such as aircraft, missiles, and submarines. The study of free vibrational characteristics of cylindrical shells is comprehensive. Initially, researchers1-5 investigat...
