Establishment Wage Differentials
Economists have long known that individual wages depend on a combination of employee and employer characteristics, as well as the interaction of the two. Although it is important to understand how employee and employer characteristics are related to wages, little is known about the magnitude and relation of these wage effects. This is primarily due to the lack of microdata which links individuals to the establishments where they work, but also due to technical difficulties associated with separating out employee and employer effects. This paper uses data from the Occupational Employment Statistics program at the Bureau of Labor Statistics that permit both of these issues to be addressed. Our results show that employer effects contribute substantially to earnings differences across individuals. We also find that establishments that pay well for one occupation also pay well for others. This paper contributes to the growing literature that analyzes firms’ compensation policies, and specifically the topic of employer effects on wages.Establishment Wage Differentials; Occupational Employment Statistics
Slow flows of an relativistic perfect fluid in a static gravitational field
Relativistic hydrodynamics of an isentropic fluid in a gravitational field is
considered as the particular example from the family of Lagrangian
hydrodynamic-type systems which possess an infinite set of integrals of motion
due to the symmetry of Lagrangian with respect to relabeling of fluid particle
labels. Flows with fixed topology of the vorticity are investigated in
quasi-static regime, when deviations of the space-time metric and the density
of fluid from the corresponding equilibrium configuration are negligibly small.
On the base of the variational principle for frozen-in vortex lines dynamics,
the equation of motion for a thin relativistic vortex filament is derived in
the local induction approximation.Comment: 4 pages, revtex, no figur
Observation of Droplet Size Oscillations in a Two-Phase Fluid under Shear Flow
Experimental observations of droplet size sustained oscillations are reported
in a two-phase flow between a lamellar and a sponge phase. Under shear flow,
this system presents two different steady states made of monodisperse
multilamellar droplets, separated by a shear-thinning transition. At low and
high shear rates, the droplet size results from a balance between surface
tension and viscous stress whereas for intermediate shear rates, it becomes a
periodic function of time. A possible mechanism for such kind of oscillations
is discussed
Competence of The Court In Adjudicating Corruption Cases Committed By Officials Based On Discretionary Authority
Introduction: Discretion As freedom of acting or making decisions from authorized and authorized state administration officials in their own opinion in government practices, the use of discretion should not be worried about by government officials. Aside from being a principle in carrying out government functions, discretion also has a strong legal basis based on the Government Administration Law that concerns the policy not a few that are processed and charged with the Corruption Criminal Act, so that officials are trapped as corruptors because of their duties attached to positions That. But that does not mean that the judge is free to make a decision. Ethics and morals are the commonly known judges. In Indonesia, maybe what is meant is the code of ethics and guidelines for judges produced by the Supreme Court and the Judicial Commission. So as to minimize the use of wrong discretion authority which results in the problem of criminal acts of corruption.
Purposes of the Research: This writing aims to find out the legitimacy of establishing a new high court in the islands.
Methods of the Research: The research used by the author is a normative juridical research type. The procedure for collecting legal materials is carried out by conducting library research on legal materials, namely primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. Then the legal material that has been obtained is analyzed qualitatively.
Results of the Research: The results obtained are the Legitimacy of the Formation of a New High Prosecutor's Office in the Islands, to minimize the obstacles faced by the islands in fighting for people's rights

Vortex line representation for flows of ideal and viscous fluids
It is shown that the Euler hydrodynamics for vortical flows of an ideal fluid
coincides with the equations of motion of a charged {\it compressible} fluid
moving due to a self-consistent electromagnetic field. Transition to the
Lagrangian description in a new hydrodynamics is equivalent for the original
Euler equations to the mixed Lagrangian-Eulerian description - the vortex line
representation (VLR). Due to compressibility of a "new" fluid the collapse of
vortex lines can happen as the result of breaking (or overturning) of vortex
lines. It is found that the Navier-Stokes equation in the vortex line
representation can be reduced to the equation of the diffusive type for the
Cauchy invariant with the diffusion tensor given by the metric of the VLR
Selective decay by Casimir dissipation in fluids
The problem of parameterizing the interactions of larger scales and smaller
scales in fluid flows is addressed by considering a property of two-dimensional
incompressible turbulence. The property we consider is selective decay, in
which a Casimir of the ideal formulation (enstrophy in 2D flows, helicity in 3D
flows) decays in time, while the energy stays essentially constant. This paper
introduces a mechanism that produces selective decay by enforcing Casimir
dissipation in fluid dynamics. This mechanism turns out to be related in
certain cases to the numerical method of anticipated vorticity discussed in
\cite{SaBa1981,SaBa1985}. Several examples are given and a general theory of
selective decay is developed that uses the Lie-Poisson structure of the ideal
theory. A scale-selection operator allows the resulting modifications of the
fluid motion equations to be interpreted in several examples as parameterizing
the nonlinear, dynamical interactions between disparate scales. The type of
modified fluid equation systems derived here may be useful in modelling
turbulent geophysical flows where it is computationally prohibitive to rely on
the slower, indirect effects of a realistic viscosity, such as in large-scale,
coherent, oceanic flows interacting with much smaller eddies
Trisomy 19 ependymoma, a newly recognized genetico-histological association, including clear cell ependymoma
Ependymal tumors constitute a clinicopathologically heterogeneous group of brain tumors. They vary in regard to their age at first symptom, localization, morphology and prognosis. Genetic data also suggests heterogeneity. We define a newly recognized subset of ependymal tumors, the trisomy 19 ependymoma. Histologically, they are compact lesions characterized by a rich branched capillary network amongst which tumoral cells are regularly distributed. When containing clear cells they are called clear cell ependymoma. Most trisomy 19 ependymomas are supratentorial WHO grade III tumors of the young. Genetically, they are associated with trisomy 19, and frequently with a deletion of 13q21.31-31.2, three copies of 11q13.3-13.4, and/or deletions on chromosome 9. These altered chromosomal regions are indicative of genes and pathways involved in trisomy 19 ependymoma tumorigenesis. Recognition of this genetico-histological entity allows better understanding and dissection of ependymal tumors
