Energy productivity indicates the efficiency of energy use in production. Investment efficient solutions, technologies and practices lead to increased productivity. It is often used as a suitable measure compare results economic, climate policies. In 2006, Republic Serbia became member Community, thus taking on obligation accept acquis European Union. By this move, it also accepted increase ren...

Srivastava and Maheshwari (Iranian Journal of Fuzzy Systems 13(1)(2016) 25-44) introduced a new divergence measure for intuitionisticfuzzy sets (IFSs). The properties of the proposed divergence measurewere studied and the efficiency of the proposed divergence measurein the context of medical diagnosis was also demonstrated. In thisnote, we point out some errors in ...

To determine whether male- or female-biased mutation rates have affected the molecular evolution of Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans, we calculated the male-to-female ratio of germline cell divisions ([symbol: see text]) from germline generation data and the male-to-female ratio of mutation rate ([symbol: see text]) by comparing chromosomal levels of nucleotide divergence. We found that ...

We study the cross-country evolution of technology diffusion processes. Using data from the last two centuries for twenty-five major technologies, we document two new facts: there has been convergence in adoption lags between rich and poor countries, while there has been divergence in long run penetration rates, once technologies are adopted. We show that the evolution of aggregate productivity...

The terrestrial gross primary productivity (GPP) has increased over the past two decades. However, climatic attribution and physiological phenological processes that control trends in GPP are still unclear. Here, we used remote-sensing-based vegetation phenology datasets, analyzed spatial temporal variation GPP, investigated influence of growing season length (GSL) maximum value (GPPmax) on ann...

According to a new Basex study, office workers spend a quarter of their day consumed by interruptions and distractions—wasting time and money (Wallis, Steptoe, & Cole, 2006). This study determined that this constant splintering and diverting of worker attention consumed up to 2.1 hours of worker productivity per day. The lost hours of productivity included not only interruptions and distraction...

Understanding the dynamics of productivity shocks is instrumental if we are to identify the sources of economic growth. This paper, investigates dynamic effects of positives productivity shocks to agricultural subsectors during the period from 1991-2015, by disaggregating agricultural sector in Iran into four key subsectors (crops, livestock, fishing and forestry) through an estimated DSGE mode...

In recent decades, governments in Canada have pursued market-oriented policies at both the macro and micro levels. Economists believe that such policies should foster productivity growth. Since 2000, however, productivity growth in Canada has been dismal, much below that in the United States and below Canada’s historical trend. The objective of this paper is to attempt to explain the paradox of...
