The Ins and Outs of European Unemployment In this paper we study the contribution of inflows and outflows to the dynamics of unemployment in three European countries, the United Kingdom, France and Spain. We compare performance in these three countries making use of both administrative and labor force survey data. We find that the impact of the 1980s reforms in Britain is evident in the contrib...

1. An in.situ heart preparation was used to evaluate cardiac performance in the sea raven, Hemitripterus americanus, under physiological inflow and outflow pressure conditions. Winter and summer fish were subjected to an acute 10 °C temperature change from the seasonal ambient value. The maximum cardiac output (Vb) under each temperature condition was determined by altering inflow pressure to t...

The study describes a Grammatical Evolution (GE) system and applies it to establish the inflow prediction model of Der-Ji Reservoir in central Taiwan. GE is a new computing architecture in the area of optimization. It provides system identification in a transparent and structured way; a fittest function type of input-output relationship will be obtained automatically from this method. A multi-...

The roles of heterotrimeric GTP-binding regulatory proteins (G-proteins) and inositol polyphosphates in the mechanism by which vasopressin stimulates Ca2+ inflow in hepatocytes were investigated by using single cells loaded with fura2 by microinjection. Vasopressin-stimulated Ca2+ inflow was mimicked by microinjection of guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) or guanosine 5'-[beta gamma...

In this paper, we study the influence on the ring-like vortex structure in MVG controlled supersonic ramp flow by different inflow conditions. In front of the MVG, three turbulent inflow profiles with different boundary layer thickness are generated as the inflow. From the shape factors, we can see that these inflows in front of the MVG are fully developed turbulent. It is found that the inflow...

The Long-Term Inflow and Structural Test (LIST) program is gathering inflow and structural response data on a Westinghouse 600-kW wind turbine located at a test site near Boulder, Colorado. Data from 1043 ten-minute time segments are analyzed here to determine the dependency of fatigue and extreme loads on inflow parameters. Flap and edge bending moment ranges at the blade root are studied as t...

Knowledge of how air flows through the nasal passages relies heavily on model studies, as the complexity and relative inaccessibility of the anatomy prevents detailed in vivo measurement. Almost all models to date fail to incorporate the geometry of the external nose, instead employing a truncated inflow. Typically, flow is specified to enter the model domain either directly at the nares (nostr...

The shape of the coronary arterial pressure-flow relationship results from the interaction of a number of poorly understood physiological factors. Experiments in which coronary inflow and outflow pressures were coupled so that driving pressure was held constant showed that changes in inflow or outflow pressures altered coronary blood flow: coronary vascular resistance varied inversely with chan...

This paper describes the development and testing of a general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) code to study ideal MHD in the fixed background of a Kerr black hole. The code is a direct extension of the hydrodynamic code of Hawley, Smarr, and Wilson, and uses Evans and Hawley constrained transport (CT) to evolve the magnetic fields. Two categories of test cases were undertaken. A one di...
