During the 1990s employment relations systems in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) experienced a complex, multilevel process of transformation. In this article, we discuss the transformation of employment relations systems under the impact of privatization, foreign direct investment, and pressures for the accession to the European Union enlargement at the enterprise, industry-, and national leve...

We study generalized point – line configurations and their properties in the projective plane. These generalized configurations can serve as building blocks for (n4) configurations. In this way, we construct (374) and (434) configurations. The existence problem of finding such configurations for the remaining cases (224), (234), and (264) remains open.

This paper gives a brief description about some routing protocols like EEE LEACH, LEACH and Direct Transmission protocol (DTx) in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) and a comparison study of these protocols based on some performance matrices. Addition to this an attempt is done to calculate their transmission time and throughput. To calculate these, MATLAB environment is used. Finally, on the basis ...

Variation in the body size of wild Culiseta morsitans collected from Massachusetts was examined. No significant size variation was detected at any time during the collection period, nor was there a significant size difference between parous and nulliparous mosquitoes. We conclude that size variation in this species does not affect survivorship, an important aspect of vectorial capacity.

Localitatea este comportamentul (auto-organizare structurala) a unei colectivităţi in jurul unei origini. Localitatea de grup este comportamentul unei colectivităţi determinat de anumite proprietăţi de grup, de exemplu simetriile unor figuri plane finite. Localitatea de grup este un alt punct de vedere asupra localităţii. Exprimând interconectarea ca model de colectivitate, demonstrăm că dihoto...

The emergence of the West Nile virus (WNV) in the northeastern United States has drawn emphasis to the need for expanded arbovirus surveillance in Connecticut. Although the state of Connecticut began a comprehensive mosquito-screening program in 1997, only since 1999 have there been efforts to determine the prevalence of arboviruses in bird populations in this state. Herein, we report on our re...

Abstract The Eastern Mediterranean region has been the subject of global power competition for many decades. Europe, Russia, and United States have at different stages in changing configurations sought to exercise influence over various countries Mediterranean. But course past decade, aforementioned triangle reshaped into a quadrangle. A new external actor emerged firmly planted its flag fourth...

BACKGROUND A high prevalence of neutropenia has been reported in several ethnic groups amongst whom many healthy individuals with low neutrophil counts undergo unnecessary investigations. This study aims to ascertain the prevalence of neutropenia (NP) in a large cohort of children from North African, Middle Eastern, and Asian countries residing in the United Arab Emirates. METHODS Neutrophil ...

Equine rotavirus FI23 was shown to be prototypic of a novel G serotype, provisionally G14, by cross-neutralization and VP7 sequence determination. Although distinct, there are as few as six differing amino acid residues (92, 94, 96, 146, 147, and 221) in the VP7 antigenic regions of FI23 and G3 rotaviruses.
