This paper uses micro data from the German Socio-Economic Panel to document that the wage structure in West Germany was remarkably stable over the period 1984–97, with little variation over time in wage or earnings inequality among and within different skill groups. The paper investigates a number of possible explanations for the stability of the wage structure and concludes that it is attribut...

Automated cell counters are widely used in modern clinical laboratories to provide reliable, fast, and cost-effective complete blood counts (CBCs), white blood cell differentials, and reticulocyte measurements. In addition, some advanced instruments provide novel parameters, such as the hemoglobin content of reticulocytes or the percentage of hypochromic cells, and are capable of analysis of a ...

We divide the set of all diatonic scales into three classes P,G,R, the intersection of which contains the major diatonic scale. The class G contains Gypsy scales, the class P – Pythagorean heptatonic, and the class R – Redfield Scale. The paper could be of interest for the music theorists, mathematicians, as well as producers of modern key music instruments, interpreters, composers, and electro...

In this study, I propose a theory of voice leading for use with the tonal space of the justintonation Tonnetz. The theory is based largely upon established theories of diatonic voice leading and chromatic harmony, and also draws upon the principles of just intonation within the tonal system. The unambiguous expression of intervals as untempered ratios is dependent upon an established seven-step...

A fundamental feature of everyday music perception is sensitivity to familiar tonal structures such as musical keys. Many studies have suggested that a tonal context can enhance the perception and representation of pitch. Most of these studies have measured response time, which may reflect expectancy as opposed to perceptual accuracy. We instead used a performance-based measure, comparing parti...
