How occupations shape self-employment entry: A multilevel approach

Occupations divide the labor market into separate repositories of skill, where labor market frictions hinder employee mobility between occupations. Such frictions shape the supply of skill, the wage structure of each occupation, and the occupation-specific opportunity cost and marginal utility of self-employment entry. We investigate why self-employment entry is dependent on occupation, using 7 ye

Protestant Women Novelists and Irish Society 1879-1922

This thesis reviews a great number of novels by Anglo-Irish women novelists that - with few exceptions - have attracted little attention from contemporary and modern literary critics. My main focus is on the literature and its society. Because of the vastness of the material, I have limited my discussion to certain issues topical at the time of writing. These issues were, however, more than topica

Redesign of an Electrical Rear Wheel Drive (E-RWD) for a hybrid vehicle in a given drive cycle

This article presents the redesign of a traction motor of an Electrical Rear Wheel Drive (E-RWD) unit, modifying its torque and power capabilities in order to improve the vehicle efficiency with given drive cycles in a hybrid vehicle application. It is shown that a peak-to-average power ratio of 3 is suitable and that this is best accomplished with a reduced slot area in combination with cooling d

Automatic Tuning and Adaptation for PID Controllers—A Survey

Adaptive techniques such as gain scheduling, automatic tuning and continuous adaptation have been used in industrial single-loop controllers for about ten years. This paper gives a survey of the different adaptive techniques, the underlying process models and control designs. The paper ends with an overview of industrial adaptive single-loop controllers.
