We examined measurement invariance and age-related robustness of a short 15-item Big Five Inventory (BFI-S) of personality dimensions, which is well suited for applications in large-scale multidisciplinary surveys. The BFI-S was assessed in three different interviewing conditions: computer-assisted or paper-assisted face-to-face interviewing, computer-assisted telephone interviewing, and a self...

We study the traffic of two types of molecular motors using the two-species asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) with periodic boundary conditions and with attachment and detachment of particles. We determine characteristic properties such as motor densities and currents by simulations and analytical calculations. For motors with different unbinding probabilities, mean-field theory gives ...

Exception handling in Ada has a number of well-known problems. It allows for the propagation of unhandled and anonymous exceptions, it is error-prone and it is inappropriate for some language features including tasking and tagged types. Ada programs with exceptions are difficult to understand, develop, modify or analyse, and the exception handling features can be misused in a number of ways. In...

● More than 1 in 5 architects was self-employed—about three times the proportion for all professional and related occupations. ● Licensing requirements include a professional degree in architecture, a period of practical training, and passing all divisions of the Architect Registration Examination. ● Architecture graduates may face competition, especially for jobs in the most prestigious firms;...
