The article presents a description of fundamentally new design soil-cultivating wave roller and the results its research. Adequate mathematical models soil rolling process are presented from standpoint compliance with reference values density aggregate composition. Thanks to research, it was found that quality by developed is 20.9% better than KKZ-6 commercially produced industry. To obtain mos...

BACKGROUND Community pharmacists, pharmaceutical industry and differences in prescribing between GPs. OBJECTIVE To explore the role of the pharmacists and pharmaceutical industry representatives. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was undertaken of 1434 GPs in The Netherlands in 2001. Prescribing indicators based on general practice guidelines were used to assess the quality of prescribing. T...

I nductance loops play a major role in vehicle detection systems that provide data for use in traffic-actuated signal control and other surveillance systems. Considering the wide variety of vehicles on the road today, it has become increasingly important to find a loop configuration that can accurately detect oddsized vehicles. Odd-sized vehicles include motorcycles, mopeds, bicycles, and high-...

Knowledge transfer in an organization is the process through which one unit (e.g., group, department, or division) is affected by the experience of another. Yet, experience has shown that transferring knowledge, whether at the individual, group, product line, department, or division level, is usually a laborious, time-consuming, and difficult task. In this article, we review 20 recent empirical...

Determining Consumers’ Discount Rates With Field Studies Because utility/profits, state transitions and discount rates are confounded in dynamic models, discount rates are typically fixed to estimate the other two factors. Yet these rate choices, if misspecified, generate poor forecasts and policy prescriptions. Using a field study wherein cellphone users transitioned from a linear to three-par...

Full three dimensional static and dynamic mean field calculations using collocation basis splines with a Skyrme type Hamiltonian are described. This program is developed to address the difficult theoretical challenges offered by exotic nuclei. Ground state and deformation properties are calculated using static HartreeFock, Hartree-Fock+BCS and constrained Hartree-Fock models. Collective propert...
