Effectiveness of E-Recruitment in Organization Development

In the rapidly changing global world economy, the only vital value for an enterprise is the experience, skills, innovativeness and insights of its manpower resources they are the key components in every organization. Competitive organizations of the present have to attract and retain the best and outstanding manpower to remain competitive in the market. This paper identifies Internet recruitment methods from relevant literature, and describes how their benefits of online recruitment can influence the recruitment decision making of the organization. Today, one of the most crucial sources of competitive advantage is based on human resource efforts through attracting and retaining talented individuals. The internet has helped in attracting potential candidates to an organization from the recruitment process, which is referred to as E-Recruitment. The practice of issuing a vacant position and applying for a job via a website has increased steadily. The purpose of this paper is to broaden the research on the online Recruitment practices for the entire development of the organization with focus on E-Recruitment practices and trends in India, to identify what E-Recruitment methods are being used and what benefits are being experienced by organizations using these methods
Algunas extensiones del método de vectores comunes discriminantes para la clasificación de imágenes

Los metodos basados en subespacios son una herramienta muy utilizada en aplicaciones de vision por computador. Aqui se presentan y validan algunos algoritmos que hemos propuesto en este campo de investigacion. El primer algoritmo esta relacionado con una extension del metodo de vectores comunes discriminantes con kernel, que hemos llamado el metodo de vectores comunes discriminantes extendidos con kernel (RKDCV, Rough Discriminative Common Vector with Kernels). RKDCV reinterpreta el espacio nulo de la matriz de dispersion intra-clase del conjunto de entrenamiento para obtener las caracteristicas discriminantes. Este metodo tambien se puede ver como una version no lineal de los vectores comunes discriminantes extendidos. Dentro de los metodos basados en subespacios existen diferentes tipos de entrenamiento. Uno de los mas populares, pero no por ello uno de los mas eficientes, es el aprendizaje por lotes. En este tipo de aprendizaje, todas las muestras del conjunto de entrenamiento tienen que estar disponibles desde el inicio. De este modo, cuando nuevas muestras se ponen a disposicion del algoritmo, el sistema tiene que ser reentrenado de nuevo desde cero. Una alternativa a este tipo de entrenamiento es el aprendizaje incremental. En los ultimos anos, y debido a la necesidad de poder actualizar los sistemas de clasificacion, muchos de los metodos basados en subespacios, que utilizan el aprendizaje por lotes, han sido modificados para un aprendizaje incremental. Aqui se proponen diferentes algoritmos incrementales del metodo de vectores comunes discriminantes. El metodo DCV ha sido propuesto originalmente de dos formas diferentes, pero equivalentes. En esta tesis se formula un algoritmo incremental para cada uno de ellos. Ademas, se muestra una version incremental propia para calcular los vectores comunes discriminantes. El primer algoritmo se basa en la eigendescomposicion y lo hemos abreviado con las siglas IDCV-EVD del ingles Incremental Discriminative Common Vectors by Eigendecomposition. El segundo algoritmo emplea subespacios diferencia y la ortogonalizacion de Gram-Schmidt incremental (IDCV-GSO). El tercer algoritmo esta basado en subespacios diferencia y ortogonalizacion (IDCV-O). Cuando la dimension del espacio de las muestras es menor o igual a la diferencia entre el tamano del conjunto de entrenamiento y el numero de clases, la dimension del subespacio discriminante en el metodo DCV es pequena. Esto ocasiona que los vectores comunes discriminantes no sean representativos. En este caso, nosotros utilizamos el metodo de vectores comunes discriminantes extendidos (RDCV, Rough Discriminative Common Vector). RDCV relaja las bases del metodo DCV a partir de ampliar el subespacio discriminante. Aqui se presenta una version incremental del metodo RDCV que permite actualizar la base de conocimiento desde un modelo precalculado. Los algoritmos propuestos se validan empiricamente para diferentes casos de estudio, a partir de clasificar bases de datos que presentan caracteristicas complejas.
[Two different intra-corneal inlay surgical technique in rabbit eyes].

OBJECTIVE To compare two different surgical techniques of intracorneal lens implantation. To determine the incidence of corneal and lens complications in two groups of rabbits subjected to such surgery. METHOD The first group (7 rabbits) initially had a keratectomy performed with the microkeratome following which the corneal flap was sutured to the stromal layer. In the second group (7 rabbits), a pocket-shaped stromal dissection was performed manually. Both groups of rabbits had a secondary lens implantation in the corneal inlay. The follow up period was of 2 months duration. RESULTS The incidence of corneal edema in the first month was higher in group 1 (71.4%) than in group 2 (14.3%) (p = 0.0155); during the second month, the incidence was 42.9% in group 1 and 28.6% in group 2 (p= 0.2927). Flap dislocation and retraction of the flap was seen in 4 of the 7 rabbits in group 1, whereas no complication of this type was observed in the manual pocket group (group 2). The incidence of lens subluxation was 28.6% in group 1 and 0% in group 2. Finally, there was a 71.4% (5/7) loss of the intracorneal lens in the rabbits treated with the microkeratome (group 1) while only 1 of 7 rabbits (14.3%) lost the lens in group 2 (P = 0.0155). DISCUSSION Eyes in which the corneal pocket shape was made by manual stromal dissection had a higher stability of the lens and less post-operative corneal complications.
Risperidone in the treatment of schizophrenia.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of risperidone in the treatment of schizophrenic patients and determine its optimal dose. METHOD This double-blind study included 388 schizophrenic patients drawn from 20 sites in the United States. Patients were randomly assigned to 8 weeks' treatment with placebo, one of four doses of risperidone (2, 6, 10, or 16 mg), or 20 mg of haloperidol daily. RESULTS Clinical improvement (20% reduction in total scores on the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale for Schizophrenia) at the study end point was shown by 35% of the patients receiving 2 mg of risperidone, 57% receiving 6 mg, 40% receiving 10 mg, and 51% receiving 16 mg; and by 30% receiving haloperidol and 22% receiving placebo. Statistically significant differences in clinical improvement were found between 6 and 16 mg of risperidone versus placebo and versus haloperidol. Positive symptom scores were significantly lower after 6, 10, and 16 mg of risperidone and 20 mg of haloperidol than placebo; negative symptom scores, however, were reduced significantly, compared with placebo, only after 6 and 16 mg of risperidone. The incidence of extra-pyramidal side effects (measured by the Extrapyramidal Symptom Rating Scale) was significantly higher in patients treated with 16 mg of risperidone or 20 mg of haloperidol than placebo. The results indicate that the optimal daily dose of risperidone for most schizophrenic patients in this study was 6 mg; this dose was as effective as 16 mg, and the incidence of extrapyramidal symptoms in patients receiving 6 mg of risperidone was no higher than that in patients receiving placebo. CONCLUSIONS Risperidone is a safe antipsychotic that is effective against both the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia.
The psychophysiological measurement of empathy

Empathy is a multifaceted construct that has traditionally been studied using selfreport measures. The field of psychophysiology is increasingly offering additional measurement techniques to objectively record changes associated with empathy in the central and autonomic nervous system. The present chapter will review what can be gained by studying empathy using psychophysiological methods such as neuroimaging, electroencephalogram (EEG), facial electromyographic activity (EMG), startle blink reflexes, skin conductance responding, and heart rate. These psychophysiological measurements are particularly well suited to studying (a) the mimicry of facial expressions, (b) emotional contagion and the mirror neuron system, (c) correlates between nervous system changes and self-report measures of empathy, and (d) empathy in special populations. Moreover, psychophysiological measures may offer more objectivity than self-report measures and can be used in individuals for whom self-report measures may be unreliable or unsuitable (e.g., children). Future research using a multimethod approach combining self-report, behavioural, and psychophysiological measurements has the potential to significantly broaden and advance our understanding of empathy.
Multi-Dimensional Bloom Filter: Design and Evaluation

Bloom Filter is a bit array (a one-dimensional storage structure) that provides a compact representation for a set of data, which can be used to answer the membership query in an efficient manner with a small number of false positives. It has a lot of applications in many areas. In this paper, we extend the design of Bloom Filter by using a multidimensional matrix to replace the one-dimensional structure with three different implementations, namely OFFF, WOFF, FFF. We refer the extended Bloom Filter as Feng Filter. We show the false positive rates of our method. We compare the false positive rate of OFFF with that of the traditional onedimensional Bloom Filter and show that under certain condition, OFFF has a lower false positive rate. Traditional Bloom Filter can be regarded as a special case of our Feng Filter. key words: Bloom Filter, multi-dimensional matrix, false positive rates
The need for ICU admission in intoxicated patients: a prediction model

Abstract Context: Intoxicated patients are frequently admitted from the emergency room to the ICU for observational reasons. The question is whether these admissions are indeed necessary. Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a model that predicts the need of ICU treatment (receiving mechanical ventilation and/or vasopressors <24 h of the ICU admission and/or in-hospital mortality). Materials and methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study from a national ICU-registry, including 86 Dutch ICUs. We aimed to include only observational admissions and therefore excluded admissions with treatment, at the start of the admission that can only be applied on the ICU (mechanical ventilation or CPR before admission). First, a generalized linear mixed-effects model with binominal link function and a random intercept per hospital was developed, based on covariates available in the first hour of ICU admission. Second, the selected covariates were used to develop a prediction model based on a practical point system. To determine the performance of the prediction model, the sensitivity, specificity, positive, and negative predictive value of several cut-off points based on the assigned number of points were assessed. Results: 9679 admissions between January 2010 until January 2015 were included for analysis. In total, 632 (6.5%) of the patients admitted to the ICU eventually turned out to actually need ICU treatment. The strongest predictors for ICU treatment were respiratory insufficiency, age >55 and a GCS <6. Alcohol and “other poisonings” (e.g., carbonmonoxide, arsenic, cyanide) as intoxication type and a systolic blood pressure ≥130 mmHg were indicators that ICU treatment was likely unnecessary. The prediction model had high sensitivity (93.4%) and a high negative predictive value (98.7%). Discussion and conclusion: Clinical use of the prediction model, with a high negative predictive value (98.7%), would result in 34.3% less observational admissions.
Exposure to wood smoke, HPV infection, and genetic susceptibility for cervical neoplasia among women in Colombia

Cervical cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer among women in Colombia (16/100,000). Infection with high‐risk human papillomavirus (HPV) plays a major role in the etiology of high‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs). Exposure to chemical agents may be a cofactor for tumor induction, and individual genetic differences in the metabolism of these chemical agents may affect the susceptibility of individuals towards the development of HSIL. In this case–control study, a total of 91 cases with HSIL and 92 healthy controls, frequency‐matched by age and place of origin, were recruited, and their frequencies of CYP2E1, GSTM1, and GSTT1 polymorphism were determined. We then evaluated the association of these polymorphisms, by themselves and in combination with wood smoke exposure and HPV‐infection status, with the risk of HSIL. The results indicate that GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphism were not associated with HSIL, although a small increase in risk was observed for individuals who were GSTT1 null (OR = 1.4, 95% CI = 0.57–3.44). Contrary to other investigations, the c2/c2 variant of the CYP2E1 gene was associated with a significant increase in risk after adjusting for wood smoke exposure (OR = 6.3, 95% CI = 1.10–36.38) or wood smoke exposure and HPV‐infection status (OR = 10.7, 95% CI = 1.76–65.58). Wood smoke exposure also increased the risk of HSIL among CYP2E1 c2/c2 HPV‐positive women (OR = 3.3, CI = 0.50–22.50); however, the increase did not achieve statistical significance. Our study provides tantalizing evidence that genetic differences in the metabolism of wood smoke carcinogens, particularly metabolism by CYP2E1, may confer susceptibility for HSIL development. Further investigations with larger populations will be needed to confirm this association, which may provide important information for improving cervical cancer prevention programs. Environ. Mol.

Dietary plant components ellagic acid and tannic acid inhibit Escherichia coli biofilm formation.

Bacteria usually live as surface-associated communities, rather than as planktonic cells. These compact microbial consortia, referred to as biofilms, are commonly associated with many health problems (Costerton et al., 1999; Donlan, 2002). A few common examples of where biofilms form are in dental plaque, in lung infections and in infections related to the use of medical devices, such as catheters. Many persistent and chronic bacterial infections are now thought to be linked to biofilm formation; more than 60 % of all bacterial infections have been estimated to involve biofilm formation (Lewis, 2001). Virtually all medical implants are prone to colonization and biofilm formation by pathogenic bacteria, and such biofilms can serve as a source for recurrent infections (Costerton et al., 1999). Biofilm-linked infections are particularly problematic, because biofilm-associated bacteria can tolerate immune defences, antibiotics, biocides and hydrodynamic shear forces far better than the corresponding planktonic bacteria. The intrinsic tolerance of biofilm-associated bacteria towards antimicrobial agents makes biofilmassociated infections particularly recalcitrant toward treatment. New types of antibiotics are therefore needed; development of candidate drugs that target biofilm formation will be of great importance. Most conventional antibiotics have targeted biochemical and physiological functions that are present both in pathogenic as well as saprophytic bacteria. Specific targeting of diseaseassociated bacterial lifestyles such as biofilm formation but not free-living pelagic bacteria is a highly attractive approach that has not yet been exploited. Drugs specifically aimed at bacterial biofilm formation are unlikely to be crossresistant to existing therapies.
Financial Statement Readability and Tax Aggressiveness

This study investigates whether firms with aggressive tax planning strategies have less readable financial reports. In theory, tax-planning increases firm value through tax savings but can lead to a discount if applied too aggressively. Therefore, managers have an incentive to obfuscate their aggressive tax planning activities. One means of doing so is to make financial statements less readable and thus make aggressive tax planning activities more difficult to interpret for outsiders. Consistent with the information-based agency problem perspective of complex financial statements, we find a robust negative relation between financial statement readability and various proxies for tax aggressiveness. We further show that the negative association between financial statement readability and tax aggressiveness is weakened after the installation of Schedule M-3, a regulatory requirement for a detailed reconciliation of book income to tax income intended to make firms' aggressive tax planning activities more apparent to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Collectively, this evidence suggests that managers apply complex financial reporting strategies when the benefits of hiding tax aggressive policies exceed the costs, but rely less on obfuscation through such complexity when the benefits of obfuscation attempts are small.
Work function engineering by FUSI and its impact on the performance and reliability of oxynitride and Hf-silicate based MOSFETs

In this work, we report an extensive characterisation of fully silicided gate (FUSI) devices with oxynitride (SiON) and Hf-silicate gate dielectrics. Enhanced drive current is obtained, in comparison with poly gate devices, together with an increase in electron/hole mobility and reduction in CET values. We show that the work function (WF) can be engineered by doping of the poly gates prior to FUSI for SiON devices but not for Hf-silicate devices. With reference to the poly gate, Hf-silicate/FUSI devices exhibit improved TDDB reliability behavior, having higher acceleration factor (/spl gamma/) values. NBTI gives a maximum operating voltage above 1.2 V for /spl Delta/V/sub T/ = 10% or 30 mV, as extrapolated for a 10 years-lifetime.
Understanding Reactivity at Very Low Temperatures: The Reactions of Oxygen Atoms with Alkenes

A remarkable number of reactions between neutral free radicals and neutral molecules have been shown to remain rapid down to temperatures as low as 20 kelvin. The rate coefficients generally increase as the temperature is lowered. We examined the reasons for this temperature dependence through a combined experimental and theoretical study of the reactions of O(3P) atoms with a range of alkenes. The factors that control the rate coefficients were shown to be rather subtle, but excellent agreement was obtained between the experimental results and microcanonical transition state theory calculations based on ab initio representations of the potential energy surfaces describing the interaction between the reactants.
Modeling the Demand for Renting Electric Vehicles in Canada: A Stated Preference Choice Approach

The introduction of electric vehicles (EV) is considered by many as an effective solution to alleviate petroleum dependency; however, the number of EVs in the current market remains scarce despite of its potential benefits. Many studies have been conducted to identify and assess various factors that significantly affect EV ownership. In contrary, little has been done regarding the potential EV adoption for commercial fleets. This paper addresses this limitation by focusing on rental vehicles. It is found that rental cost, vehicle attributes (e.g. maximum range and recharging time), and attitudinal statements have significant effect on EV rental choice.
Pneumocystis Carinii in the Temporal Bone as a Primary Manifestation of the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome

Extrapulmonary infection with Pneumocystis carinii is rare and is usually associated with severe systemic illness. We report, in two patients, the histologic, ultrastructural, and monoclonal cell surface antibody identification of P carinii in otic polyps. Both patients had serum antibody to human immunodeficiency virus. These P carinii infections in the temporal bone are unusual in their location and in the apparent absence of associated pulmonary infection. This otologic presentation was the primary manifestation of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

Las estrategias de localización de información en textos argumentativos que utilizan los estudiantes de bachillerato

En el estudio que aqui se presenta, exploramos las estrategias de lectura que utilizan algunos estudiantes de bachillerato para la localizacion de la informacion en un texto argumentativo. Solicitamos responder un cuestionario y elaborar un resumen para posteriormente identificar la reflexion metacognitiva, entendida como la autorregulacion. Concretamente nos preguntamos: ? cuanta informacion puede obtener un estudian­­te de bachillerato y como reporta la estrategia que utiliza, donde y como la aprendio? Utilizamos la combinacion del metodo cuantitativo para medir y comparar respuestas acertadas con el metodo cualitativo a traves de entrevistas donde se solicito reportar la estrategia de lectura utilizada. Los resultados muestran que los estudiantes tienen problemas importantes para elegir una estrategia pertinente al objetivo de la tarea. Las escuelas de educacion basica adolecen de ensenar reglas claras para la localizacion de informacion anidada, la elaboracion de inferencias complejas y para la comparacion analitica de argumentos. Finalmente se proponen algunas estrategias basicas para la localizacion de informacion en textos expositivos.
Fully Nonlinear Equations with Applications to Grad Equations in Plasma Physics

In this paper we generalize an equation studied by Mossino and Temam in [7], to the fully nonlinear case. This equation arises in plasma physics as an approximation to Grad equations, which were introduced by Harold Grad in [4], to model the behavior of plasma confined in a toroidal vessel called TOKAMAK. We prove existence of a W2,p ‐viscosity solution and regularity up to C1,αΩ¯ for any α<1 (we improve this regularity near the boundary). The difficulty of this problem lies in the right‐hand side which involves the measure of the superlevel sets, making the problem nonlocal. © 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
Speed-Up Techniques for Ray Tracing Field Prediction Models

Despite their good performance, the widespread diffusion of ray tracing field-prediction models is still limited due to their high complexity and high computation time. In this paper, two different classes of methods for speeding up ray tracing urban field prediction are proposed, aimed at reducing the size of the input database and the number of rays to be handled by the algorithm. With the proposed techniques, a great computation time reduction can be achieved without sensibly affecting the accuracy of the prediction.
