Pension Incentives and Early Retirement

In this paper we exploit a cohort-specific pension reform to estimate the causal labour market effects of changes in the financial incentives to retire. In particular, we analyze the effects of the introduction of cohort-specific deductions for early retirement on female retirement, employment and unemployment. For the empirical analysis we use high-quality administrative data from the German pension insurance. We present evidence for sizable labour market effects. In addition to direct effects on women older than 60 we find important anticipation effects before reaching the pension eligibility age. Overall we document that the pension reform leads to a postponement of retirement, an increase in employment and a shifting in unemployment over age rather than a substitution into unemployment.
A collage metaphor to support inter-modal wayfinding

This paper presents a hierarchical model for inter-modal wayfinding that is structured by the metaphor collage. Inter-modal wayfinding is understood as wayfinding using several modes of transportation: walking, riding bus or train, driving, etc. The paper analyzes an example for intermodal wayfinding in Hamburg city. The resulting model of the wayfinding process is structured according to four levels of activity that support multiple levels of user needs. The metaphor collage is appropriate for the process of wayfinding where many different information types are connected in a very specific timeand space-dependent fashion. A cognitive collage has been identified as one type of spatial mental model that is used by humans. We expect that a traveler will use a system more easily which underlying model conforms to her mental model of wayfinding. The model supports multiple levels of user needs. It can be used for on-demand path information at information kiosks or over mobile devices. At the same time it is a fitting model for information integration as needed for example by information brokers on the web. This work is part of the effort of naive geography, which promotes the development of models conforming to humans’ mental models.

IoT Information Security Evaluation for Developers and Users

The accelerated growth of Internet of Things (IoT) exposes many unsecured issues related to design and usage of devices leading to a new technological security paradigm. This paper presents an evaluation method and corrective actions to be carried out in order to make the usage of IoT devices safer. This method combines both the developer’s perspective and user’s perspective, thus differing from current guides. The proposed evaluation method is divided by categories, each one composed of security control clauses and their corresponding action recommendation. The user perspective of such evaluation method was applied into a service company, and the developer perspective into an IoT device manufacturer. These experiments produced useful perceptions on such view points. The evaluation provided an opportunity to enhance manufacturer security awareness and improve user experience with IoT devices.
"Experimentally Proven": the Big Fallacy of Theoretical Physics.

The intention of theoretical physics is to construct mathematical models so that experimental data can be predicted through calculation. If the prevailing model cannot explain new experimental data because of its imperfections, theorists add to the model fictitious entities and helpmates which are defined on the basis of the new experimental data, so that the new experimental data can now be calculated with the modified model. Remaining contradictions are camouflaged as good as possible to make the model consistent. If later on calculated data obtained indirectly from new experiments are consistent with the fictitious entities and helpmates, theorists conclude that this is the prove that the fictitious entities and helpmates really exist. The conclusion is a fallacy because it ignores that the model was previously made consistent, what means that all data obtained through experiments and calculations must be explained with the model, otherwise the model would not be consistent. Adding more and more fictitious entities and helpmates to an imperfect model makes it, with the time, more and more complex, untrustworthy and non-physical and finally a radically new model is required to overcome these problems.
The R-Process Alliance: 2MASS J09544277+5246414, the Most Actinide-enhanced R-II Star Known

We report the discovery of a new actinide-boost star, 2MASS J09544277+5246414, originally identified as a very bright (V = 10.1), extremely metal-poor ([Fe/H] = −2.99) K giant in the LAMOST survey, and found to be highly r-process-enhanced (r-II; [Eu/Fe] = +1.28]), during the snapshot phase of the R-Process Alliance (RPA). Based on a high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N), high-resolution spectrum obtained with the Harlan J. Smith 2.7 m telescope, this star is the first confirmed actinide-boost star found by RPA efforts. With an enhancement of [Th/Eu] = +0.37, 2MASS J09544277+5246414 is also the most actinide-enhanced r-II star yet discovered, and only the sixth metal-poor star with a measured uranium abundance ([U/Fe] = +1.40). Using the Th/U chronometer, we estimate an age of 13.0 ± 4.7 Gyr for this star. The unambiguous actinide-boost signature of this extremely metal-poor star, combined with additional r-process-enhanced and actinide-boost stars identified by the RPA, will provide strong constraints on the nature and origin of the r-process at early times.
"When two worlds collide": Career satisfaction and altruistic organizational citizenship behaviour

Previous studies find a strong relationship between job satisfaction and altruistic OCB. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of a different kind of employee satisfaction, namely the extent to which employees are satisfied with the career opportunities that their organization offers. Based on social exchange theory, two contrasting hypotheses are formulated and tested. Hypothesis 1 argues that satisfaction with career opportunities is positively related to altruistic OCB because it strengthens the relationship between employees and organizations. Hypothesis 2 states that altruistic OCB is part of the horizontal exchange relationship between coworkers and that career opportunities are negatively related to this kind of behaviour since it disrupts the social exchanges taking place between co-workers. The hypotheses are investigated using survey data from 280 employees. Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression is applied to analyze the data. The empirical analyses find support for Hypothesis 2: career satisfaction is negatively related to altruistic OCB. The practical implication of this research concerns the potential trade-off between career satisfaction and employees’ levels of altruistic OCB. This indicates that strengthening vertical organizational relationships may weaken horizontal relationships. For managers this implies that they have to take this trade-off into account if they want to sustain altruistic OCB. Research on OCB focused mainly on the vertical exchange relationship within organizations. This article also includes the horizontal dimension and shows how it may be related to employee behaviour.
The routing protocol research which based on ad hoc network

Wireless ad-hoc network is a temporary autonomous networks, distributed node of its network is determined by the characteristics of the convenience and widespread popularity. But one issue is caused by a routing protocol security and stability, a large number of nodes in this open structure is vulnerable to outside attacks. Traditional virtual location based routing protocol has the advantage of speed, but there safety questions. For this reason, this article proposes and designs are characterized by a high security routing protocol based on virtual location, which improved distance correlation node-positioning algorithms is used. Simulation using NS2 simulation software sees it as virtual locationbased routing protocol than traditional security 20%. The computation algorithm Protocol is no significant decline

Growing up girls : popular culture and the construction of identity

New York, Bern, Berlin, Bruxelles, Frankfurt/M. , Oxford, Wien, 1999, 2001, 2002. Adolescent Cultures, School and Society. Vol. 9 General Editors: Joseph L. DeVitis and Linda Irwin-DeVitis In today's society, more and more mass media and popular culture is being produced for, about, and by pre-adolescent and adolescent girls than ever before. The intent of this book is to help us better understand the complex relationship between girls and their culture. Informed by a broad range of theoretical perspectives and employing a variety of methodologies, the essays in this collection address the ways that mainstream culture « instructs girls on how to become a woman - the ways in which the culture approves of « growing up girls. Specifically, these essays examine the messages mainstream culture gives girls about romance, sexuality, life experiences, body image, gender and culture identity, and the way girls themselves negotiate these messages.

“Selling socialism” ‐ The marketing of the “very old” British Labour Party

Examines the historical role of marketing within the British electoral process. Based on historical research and drawing on a voluminous amount of documentary analysis, seeks to assess how and when marketing thinking and techniques first began to gain currency within the British Labour Party between 1918 and 1939. Demonstrates how Labour, an organisation traditionally regarded as being resistant to change, contained influential people keen to experiment with new campaign techniques and ideas.

ISSN 2249-9695 Original Article Changes in growth, biochemical constituents and antioxidant potentials in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) under cobalt stress

Cowpea plants were raised in pots containing the soil amended with various levels of cobalt (control, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mg kg -1 soil). Five replicates were maintained for each level. Morphological parameters like root and shoot length, nodule number, total leaf area and dry weight of root and shoot of cowpea plants were recorded at an interval of 20 days (20, 40 and 60 th day). Biochemical constituents (chlorophyll ‘a’, chlorophyll ‘b’, total chlorophyll, carotenoid, sugars, starch, amino acids, proline and protein) and enzyme activities (catalase, peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase) were analysed on 60 th day. Cobalt treatment at all levels tested (except 50 mg kg -1 ) decreased the various growth parameters such as length of the root and shoot, number of nodules, area of leaves and dry weight of root and shoot; biochemical constituents (pigments, sugars, starch, amino acids and protein contents of leaves) of cowpea plants. However proline and the enzymes (catalase, peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase) increased (except 50 mg kg -1 ) with an increase in cobalt level in the soil.
The IR Spectra, Molar Absorptivity, and Integrated Molar Absorptivity of the C76-D2 and C84-D2:22 Isomers

The FT-IR spectra of the stable C76 and C84 isomers of D2 symmetry, isolated by the new, advanced extraction and chromatographic methods and processes, were recorded by the KBr technique, over the relevant region from 400 to 2000 cm−1, at room temperature. All the observed infrared bands are in excellent agreement with the semiempirical QCFF/PI, DFT, and TB potential calculations for these fullerenes, which is presented in this article, as the evidence of their validity. The molar absorptivity e and the integrated molar absorptivity ψ of their IR absorption bands were determined and reported together with the relative intensities. Excellent agreement is found between the relative intensities of the main and characteristic absorption maxima calculated from and from the values in adequate integration ranges. These results are significant for the identification and quantitative determination of the C76-D2 and C84-D2:22 fullerenes, either in natural resources on Earth and in space or in artificially synthesized and biomaterials, electronic, optical, and biomedical devices, sensors, polymers, optical limiters, solar cells, organic field effect transistors, special lenses, diagnostic and therapeutic agents, pharmaceutical substances in biomedical engineering, and so forth.

Enterprise Social Networks Analysis

If you take meetings, instant messaging, emails and calls out of your working day there is a fair chance that the remaining work-related communication is relatively small. Most of people’s daily lives is interacting with the social network at the office, engaging with people and using relationships to drive innovation and results. Most individuals would attest to having a good understanding of their network, knowing their key counterparts and using their connections wisely. However, people can not verify if that is correct. In this work, we present a novel way of aggregating employees social interactions at work and building their social graph. Key contributions include the development of an importance algorithm used throughout the application to access peers business relation and filter the best ones, determine communities of practice and find critical hotspots which could improve performance and collaboration. The interactions across the hierarchy are modeled to reveal insights into divisional-based communication patterns. Different methods are discussed how to get the best referral to a new business contact inside the company as well as outside it, across the organizational boundaries.

Leveraging knowledge in higher education organizations

Knowledge has become the key resource in the present post-industrial society.Organizations around the world are now required to cleverly manage their biggest assets: their knowledge capital, in order to gain competitive edge in the complex and dynamic environments confronting them.In Malaysia, the K-Economy Master Plan was launched in September 2002 to drive the nation towards this new imperative and various initiatives are now underway.As a result of these initiatives, the demand for education and training is expected to increase in the near future and beyond. Higher Education Organizations (HEOs) in the country are confronted with the challenge of meeting these needs.To cater for this, HEOs must first begin to manage their most valuable asset: their knowledgebase.Managing this requires a concerted and structured effort in implementing Knowledge Management (KM). But the problem is that leaders at various levels in many of our HEOs are still struggling to make sense of the KM imperative.It is thus proposed that, as a first step in implementing KM, leaders in HEOs consider the following variables: identify the knowledgebase; identify how knowledge is created, shared and used, identify the role of information and communication technology (ICT); identify an appropriate ICT system; and identify appropriate people management strategies. This paper reports the findings of an inquiry undertaken at two HEOs, one public and the other private, via interviews with academics, in identifying the key features of the variables stated above.
Microscopic probing and manipulation of ultracold fermions

This thesis reports on experiments that provide for the first time a local access to the microscopic quantum many-body physics of ultracold atomic fermions. A quantum gas of 6Li atoms is optically probed in-situ with unprecedented spatial resolution, giving direct insight into the distinctive fluctuation and correlation properties of the system. Likewise on the same length scale of one micrometer, local manipulation is achieved by means of flexible confinement in optical dipole traps. The essential tool for the presented experiments is a pair of identical, high-resolution microscope objectives that constitute the key feature of the new apparatus which has been set up in the scope of this PhD project. Employing one of the two microscope objectives for high-resolution imaging, spatially resolved density and density fluctuation profiles of a trapped, weakly interacting Fermi gas are measured and analyzed. In the quantum degenerate regime, the Fermi gas shows a suppression of the density fluctuations below the atomic shot noise limit, whereas in the non-degenerate case thermal atomic shot noise is observed. The measured sub-poissonian fluctuations are a direct result of the Pauli exclusion principle and represent an explicit manifestation of antibunching in real space. Moreover, the spatially resolved measurements reveal local information about thermodynamic quantities such as the level of quantum degeneracy and the compressibility. Using the predictions of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, a novel fluctuation-based method for thermometry in atomic Fermi gases is realized. A novel shot-noise limited interferometer is introduced enabling us to measure the spin fluctuations in a trapped, two-component Fermi gas with a micrometer resolution. Compared to a thermal gas, we observe a reduction of the spin fluctuations of up to 4.5dB for a weakly interacting quantum degenerate gas due to the Pauli principle, and 9.2dB for a strongly interacting gas of Feshbach molecules due to pairing. Using a two-axis acousto-optical deflector in combination with the microscope setup, we demonstrate the generation of microscopically tailored optical dipole potentials. Covering static as well as time-averaged potentials, versatile trapping geometries are achieved, including a tightly focussed single optical dipole trap, a 4x4-site twodimensional optical lattice and a 8-site ring lattice configuration. Moreover, we present the spatially resolved imaging of cold atoms residing in these optically projected potential patterns.
Semiclassical Limit of the Focusing Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation under Barrier Initial Data

We study the semiclassical behavior of the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation in 1+1 dimensions under discontinuous ”barrier” initial data and we describe the violent oscillations arising in terms of theta functions. The construction of proofs relies on the analysis of the associated Riemann-Hilbert factorization problem. Typeset by AMS-TEX 1 2 SPYRIDON KAMVISSIS
