Generalized Selection Bias and The Decomposition of Wage Differentials The major contribution of this paper is ending a new and flexible way to measure the effects of selection on log-wages. In this context, we offer a general approach to performing decomposition analysis when selection effects are present. We call the difference between unconditional and conditional expectations of the log-wag...

in this paper, a new class of multifunctions, called generalized alpha (mu_{x};mu_{ y} )-continuous multifunctions, has been dened and studied. some characterizations and severalproperties concerning generalized alpha (mu_{x};mu_{ y} )-continuous multifunctions are obtained. the re-lationships between generalized alpha (mu_{x};mu_{ y} )-continuous multifunctions and some known con-ce...

The mathematical basis for bias linearization of quadratic magnetic actuators, as typified by magnetic bearings, is developed. The approach generalizes prior ad–hoc methods of linearizing the relationship between actuator force and electromagnet current, obviating the earlier assumptions of stator symmetry. This relationship is fundamentally quadratic in the regime where the magnetic material i...

In this current study a generalized super-efficiency model is first proposed for ranking extreme efficient decision making units (DMUs) in stochastic data envelopment analysis (DEA) and then, a deterministic (crisp) equivalent form of the stochastic generalized super-efficiency model is presented. It is shown that this deterministic model can be converted to a quadratic programming model. So fa...

The current-source density (CSD) analysis is a widely used method in brain electrophysiology, but this method rests on a series of assumptions, namely that the surrounding extracellular medium is resistive and uniform, and in some versions of the theory, that the current sources are exclusively made by dipoles. Because of these assumptions, this standard model does not correctly describe the co...

We present a generalized Floquet formulation of time-dependent current-density-functional theory for nonperturbative treatment of multiphoton processes of many-electron systems in intense monochromatic electric and magnetic fields. It is shown that the time-dependent Kohn-Sham-like equation can be transformed into an equivalent time-independent Floquet Hamiltonian matrix eigenvalue problem. A p...

There are a number of constraints which limit the current and voltages which can be applied on a multiple drive electrical imaging system. One obvious constraint is to limit the maximum ohmic power dissipated in the body. Current patterns optimizing distinguishability with respect to this constraint are singular functions of the difference of transconductance matrices with respect to the power ...

Status epilepticus (SE) is defined as a seizure lasting longer than 5 min, or at least two seizures without full recovery of consciousness between them. Early emergent medical management consists of life support and an etiology survey, and subsequent treatment can be classified into 4 stages: (1) early SE, (2) established SE, (3) refractory SE, and (4) super-refractory SE. For early SE, benzodi...

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a chronic disorder that frequently co-occurs with a variety of co-morbidities in patients with somatic conditions and other mental disorders. GAD is highly prevalent and is one of the most common anxiety disorders seen by primary care physicians. The individual and societal cost associated with GAD is high and the marked level of impairment experienced by p...

1. INTRODUCTION The Bureau of Labor Statistics' (BLS) Current Employmem Statistics (CES) Survey gathers data monthly from over 380,000 nonagricultural business establishments allocated across all States, for the purpose of estimating total employment, employment of women and production workers, hours, and earnings. Estimates are made for over 1,500 industry cells, complementing the demographic ...
