Why does unemployment come in couples?

In this paper we first raise the factual question of whether wives of unemployed husbands have a higher chance of unemployment than wives of employed husbands. Data for Australia, Canada, the Netherlands and the USA in the first half of the 1980s indicate that this indeed is the case. We then seek to explain this finding. According to one explanation, (un)employment homogamy is a by-product of educational homogamy combined with a relation at the individual level between education and unemployment. Although the existence of educational homogamy in Canada, the Netherlands and the USA could be ascertained, and although in these countries unemployment is higher when education is lower, these findings could not fully explain the observed extent of (un)employment homogamy in these countries. According to a more complex explanation, the phenomenon of (un)employment homogamy will disappear when we allow, after these effects of education, for similar effects of age and region. This explanation was tested for the USA, and did not explain the observed extent of (un)employment homogamy in this country
Taste and eating disorders 13

Taste responses to sucrose and fat-containing stimuli were examined in a population ofyoung women with eating disorders. Anorectic-restrictor and anorectic-bulimic patients were compared with normal-weight bulimic patients and with normal-weight control subjects. Sensory estimates of sweetness and fat content of 20 different mixtures of milk, cream, and sugar did not differ among subject groups. In contrast, relative preferences for sugar vs fat as determined by the Response Surface Method differed between patients with eating disorders and control subjects. Normal-weight bulimic patients preferred sweeter stimuli than did control subjects. Anorectic-restrictor and anorectic-bulimic patients liked sweet but disliked high-fat stimuli and showed elevated optimal sugar:fat (S:F) ratios. This pattern of response did not change following weight regain. The stability of preference profiles suggests that taste responsiveness may be independent of diagnostic categories, bulimic behaviors, or acute changes in body weight. Am J C/in Nuir l987;46:442-50.
Safety and Liveness for Well-Structured Petri Net Extensions

Ces notes reprennent et généralisent des parties des cours 4 et 5. Les problèmes de terminaison, couverture (coverability) et finitude (boundedness) avec de nouvelles variantes de boundedness sont étudiées pour les réseaux de Petri et leurs extensions monotones vues comme des fonctions affines et même pour des fonctions récursives croissantes (avec des variantes de croissance). Le lecteur retrouvera la définition de l’algorithme de Karp et Miller et les preuves détaillées données en cours dans un cadre un peu plus général que celui des réseaux de Petri (mais les preuves ne sont pas plus compliquées). Il est conseillé au lecteur de considérer comme des exercices à faire (ou refaire) presque toutes les preuves contenues dans ces notes. On notera parfois u <Q v pour u ≤ v et pour tout i ∈ Q, u(i) < v(i) avec u, v deux vecteurs d’entiers de dimension p et Q un sous-ensemble d’entiers pris entre 1 et p, p est la dimension du système considéré. Ces notes sont extraites d’un article intitulé: “A well structured framework for analysing Petri net extensions” co-écrit avec Pierre M Kenzie et Claudine Picaronny.

Universitet Augmented Reality Views for Occluded Interaction

Werelyonour sightwhenmanipulatingobjects.Whenobjects are occluded, manipulation becomes difficult. Such occluded objects canbe shownvia augmented reality to re-enable visual guidance. However, it is unclear how to do so to best support object manipulation. We compare four views of occluded objects and their effect on performance and satisfaction across a set of everyday manipulation tasks of varying complexity. The best performing views were a see-through view and a displaced 3D view. The former enabled participants to observe the manipulated object through the occluder, while the latter showed the 3D view of the manipulated object offset from the object’s real location. The worst performing view showed remote imagery froma simulatedhand-mounted camera. Our results suggest that alignment of virtual objects with their real-world location is less important than an appropriate point-of-view and view stability.

A Scalable K-hop Clustering Algorithm for Pseudolinear MANET

The scalability issue is essential to gain commercial success in MANET. However, there are some existing constraints such as low bandwidth, node mobility, energy consumption, and the broadcast nature of wireless communication that make the network complex to maintain. Furthermore, as the network size increases, communication costs may consume a large proportion of the bandwidth. Other parameters such as node mobility, node density, and traffic load can also impair network scalability. In this research paper, we proposed a new algorithm, K-hop clustering scheme for Pseudolinear MANET (KHPM) where cluster topology remains stable in terms of K-hop and more dense network. The strategy used stability metric and Doppler Value (DV) between nodes, which exchanged packets obtained by Doppler shift. A node’s smaller DV indicates lower mobility with higher stability. The proposed technique has been analysis hypothetically, which shows that the proposed algorithm is able to consider mobility as a key feature compared to existing SKCA method. In addition, the number of hops of a cluster is twice in KHPM compared to existing THPM technique.
Towards an Information Technology Management Framework for Developing Countries

Information technology management methods evolved and designed in western, first world countries are not appropriate for third world countries. Furthermore, they are now becoming inadequate because the current thinking on management theory - upon which Information Technology Management is defined - is changing significantly. The salient points of this shift in the paradigm of strategic management are outlined and an indication is given of how this will impact the management of information technology, with specific regard to the requirements of developing countries. An outline of an adapted model is attempted, using a simple fourcomponent framework. The area of information technology planning will need to change. The character of the day-to-day management, however, is most significantly affected, mainly by an increased use of external agents in what will probably be new and innovative forms of alliance. The concept of an information technology keiretsu is investigated as a useful model for how such alliances could be structured and how they could act as a catalyst for accelerated learning and thus lead to more effective transfer of skills and technology for Information Technology Management. Issues of designing and implementing such a keiretsu as well as the role of its members are discussed. Suggestions for government support are outlined. A direction for further research is set out, concluding that using action research in a pilot keiretsu in a developing country would be the most promising approach.

Current Challenges in Practical Object-Oriented Software Design

According to the extensive 50-year-old body of knowledge in object-oriented programming and design, good software designs are, among other characteristics, lowly coupled, highly cohesive, extensible, comprehensible, and not fragile. However, with the increased complexity and heterogeneity of contemporary software, this might not be enough. This paper discusses the practical challenges of object-oriented design in modern software development. We focus on three main challenges: (1) how technologies, frameworks, and architectures pressure developers to make design decisions that they would not take in an ideal scenario, (2) the complexity of current real-world problems require developers to devise not only a single, but several models for the same problem that live and interact together, and (3) how existing quality assessment techniques for object-oriented design should go beyond high-level metrics. Finally, we propose an agenda for future research that should be tackled by both scientists and practitioners soon. This paper is a call for arms for more reality-oriented research on the object-oriented software design field.
Sensory Impact of Polyphenolic Composition on the Oxidative Notes of Chardonnay Wines

Chardonnay wines have a long-standing reputation regarding their aging potential. However, in some cases, they face premature oxidation a few years after bottling. Scientific reports are, for now, multiparametric and unclear. Polyphenols seem to be an important factor involved in the oxidative stability of white wines, but their role has not yet been completely characterized. The present study aimed to investigate the link between polyphenol content and the emergence of oxidative odors of bottle-aged Chardonnay wines. In order to obtain samples with noticeable differences in polyphenol content, as well as in sensory oxidative notes, wines from two different vintages were used. For each vintage, three levels of must clarification and two wine closures were implemented. Polyphenol content was analyzed chemically, and the oxidative character was assessed sensorially by a trained panel using a specific intensity scale. The results showed significant effects for closure type and turbidity. However, these effects were strongly affected by vintage. Concerning the polyphenol content, a clear difference was also found between vintages, closures and turbidity levels. Significant linear regression models for REDOX scores pointed out Flavon-3-ols as the main negative predictor, and grape reaction product (GRP) as the main positive predictor. The enological implications are discussed.
Consistent Shared Data Types: Beyond Memory

In large scale distributed systems, shared objects provide a valuable abstraction of communication. However, these objects can only be used reliably if they are specified precisely. Until now, a lot of work has been done on shared memory, to the detriment of other objects. This paper aims at extending this work to any update-query abstract data type, the types in which the operations are updates or queries. A shared object should be fully specified by two complementary aspects: a sequential specification that defines how the updates influence the queries, and a consistency criterion that discriminates which distributed histories are eligible according to the sequential specification. This paper formalizes the notions of sequential specification and consistency criterion. It then extends the definition of many consistency criteria, including causal consistency, to all update-query abstract data types. It also explores the notion of composability for consistency criteria and proves that no consistency criterion between pipelined consistency and sequential consistency is composable, which includes causal consistency.
Influence of Ingested Food Texture on Jaw Muscle and Tongue Activity during Mastication in Humans.

To investigate the effect of ingested food texture on tongue activity during mastication in humans, the electromyographic (EMG) activity was recorded by surface electrodes from the skin over the mylohyoid muscle (MH), masseter muscle (M) and anterior digastric muscle (Da) during mastication ofthree kinds of food (gumi candy: G, peanuts: P, rice cake: RC) in eleven adult subjects. The texture ofthese foods was measured according to the texture profile analysis. P was the hardest food, while RC was the most adhesive of the three. The amplitude of M-EMG decreased significantly during P mastication, while the amplitude of Da-EMG decreased significantly according to the progress of mastication of G, P and RC. The amplitude of MH-EMG decreased significantly during mastication of G. In contrast, the amplitude of MH-EMG increased significantly during mastication of P and RC, with an especially marked increase in amplitude observed in the late stage of chewing during mastication of RC. These results suggest that tongue activity in the late stage of chewing just before swallowing may be affected by the texture of the triturated food in the oral cavity.
A 3D view of molecular hydrogen in Supernova 1987A

Supernova (SN) 1987A is the only young SN in which H_2 has been detected in the ejecta. The properties of the H_2 are important for understanding the explosion and the ejecta chemistry. Here, we present new VLT/SINFONI observations of H_2 in SN 1987A, focussing on the 2.12 \mu m (1,0)S(1) line. We find that the 3D emissivity is dominated by a single clump in the southern ejecta, with weaker emission being present in the north along the plane of the circumstellar ring. The lowest observed velocities are in the range 400-800 km/s, in agreement with previous limits on inward mixing of H. The brightest regions of H_2 coincide with faint regions of H\alpha, which can be explained by H\alpha being powered by X-ray emission from the ring, while the H_2 is powered by 44Ti. A comparison with ALMA observations of other molecules and dust shows that the brightest regions of H_2, CO and SiO occupy different parts of the inner ejecta and that the brightest H_2 clump coincides with a region of very weak dust emission. The latter is consistent with theoretical predictions that the H_2 should form in the gas phase rather than on dust grains.
Title On the positivity of polynomials on the complex unit disc viaLMIs

Investigating positivity of polynomials over the complex unit disc is a relevant problem in electrical and computer engineering. This paper provides two sufficient and necessary conditions for solving this problem via linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). These conditions are obtained by exploiting trigonometric transformations, a key tool for the representation of polynomials, and results from the theory of positive polynomials. Some numerical examples illustrate the proposed conditions.

Future smart energy software houses Kettunen , Petri 2019-01-19 Kettunen

Software is the key enabling technology (KET) as digitalization is cross-cutting future energy systems spanning the production sites, distribution networks, and consumers particularly in electricity smart grids. In this paper, we identify systematically what particular software competencies are required in the future energy systems focusing on electricity system smart grids. The realizations of that can then be roadmapped to specific software capabilities of the different future ‘software houses’ across the networks. Our instrumental method is software competence development scenario path construction with environmental scanning of the related systems elements. The vision of future software-enabled smart energy systems with software houses is mapped with the already progressing scenarios of energy systems transitions on the one hand coupled with the technology foresight of software on the other hand. Grounding on the Smart Grid Reference Architecture Model (SGAM), it tabulates the distinguished software competencies and attributes them to the different parties—including customers/consumers (Internet of People, IoP)—involved in future smart energy systems. The resulting designations can then be used to recognize and measure the necessary software competencies (e.g., fog computing) in order to be able to develop them inhouse, or for instance to partner with software companies, depending on the future desirability. Software-intensive systems development competence becomes one of the key success factors for such cyber-physical-social systems (CPSS). Further futures research work is chartered with the Futures Map frame. This paper contributes preliminarily toward that by identifying pictures of the software-enabled futures and the connecting software competencebased scenario paths.
Deep Analogical Inference as the Origin of Hypotheses

The ability to generate novel hypotheses is an important problem-solving capacity of humans. This ability is vital for making sense of the complex and unfamiliar world we live in. Often, this capacity is characterized as an inference to the best explanation - selecting the "best" explanation from a given set of candidate hypotheses. However, it remains unclear where these candidate hypotheses originate from. In this paper we contribute to computationally explaining these origins by providing the contours of the computational problem solved when humans generate hypotheses. The origin of hypotheses, otherwise known as abduction proper, is hallmarked by seven properties: (1) isotropy, (2) open-endedness, (3) novelty, (4) groundedness, (5) sensibility, (6) psychological realism, and (7) computational tractability. In this paper we provide a computational-level theory of abduction proper that unifies the first six of these properties and lays the groundwork for the seventh property of computational tractability. We conjecture that abduction proper is best seen as a process of deep analogical inference.
Life Style Modification Among Diabetic Patients

Lifestyle modifications have key role in the management of diabetes. Awareness about the changes in lifestyle can play a vital role in the management of diabetes. There is a need of health education programs for diabetics and general population. As the diabetes is a slow progressive disease which causes target organ damage if not control. Study shows that controlled diabetics has also risk of target organ damage. Managing a diabetic patient needs to be combination of diet, discipline and drugs. Only drugs is given by the physician but the other two control parameter like diet and discipline is done by the patient himself. Life style modification can bring this two factor under control. Here we have studied 100 diabetic patient with following results.

Hands Holding Clues for Object Recognition in Teachable Machines

Camera manipulation confounds the use of object recognition applications by blind people. This is exacerbated when photos from this population are also used to train models, as with teachable machines, where out-of-frame or partially included objects against cluttered backgrounds degrade performance. Leveraging prior evidence on the ability of blind people to coordinate hand movements using proprioception, we propose a deep learning system that jointly models hand segmentation and object localization for object classification. We investigate the utility of hands as a natural interface for including and indicating the object of interest in the camera frame. We confirm the potential of this approach by analyzing existing datasets from people with visual impairments for object recognition. With a new publicly available egocentric dataset and an extensive error analysis, we provide insights into this approach in the context of teachable recognizers.
