Three Worlds of Cleaning: Women's Experiences of Precarious Labor in the Public Sector, Cleaning Companies and Private Households of West Germany, 1973-1998
No full textShould the low-pay and low-skill sector of the labor market be expanded through political intervention? This question is hotly debated in presentday Germany. In the cleaning trade, precarious employment is especially widespread, with precariousness defined as the undermining of material and legal standards as well as the exclusion from the solidarity of colleagues and from institutional forms of articulating interest in works council and trade union. This article discusses the transfer of cleaners’ jobs from the public sector to cleaning companies and private households since 1973. Drawing upon rare and scattered evidence contained in official statistics as well as upon journals of employers’ associations and of trade unions, the author argues that cleaners experienced increasing precariousness in each of these organizational arrangements, but especially when affected by the process of “double privatization.” For those who discuss future labor market strategies, the history of professional cleaning is of interest because it is paradigmatic for the whole low-skill service sector in many respects
Improving the Efficiency and Accuracy of Landing Site Error Calculations for Re-Entry Vehicles
No full textSpace missions that involve atmospheric re-entry require thorough landing site analysis for mission safety and success. Monte Carlo simulations are frequently utilized to analyze the uncertainty in the landing site caused by atmospheric conditions that may fluctuate during re-entry, but require time on the order of hours to complete the analysis. Thus, the need arises for a more efficient process that maintains a high computational accuracy. To meet this need, reference tables are generated that allow for a user to look up the landing site uncertainty given a set of re-entry conditions. These tables are generated by transforming a traditional re-entry state vector to a modified state vector that contains the magnitude of the re-entry velocity, three angles, and the vehicle’s ballistic coefficient. Then a Monte Carlo simulation is performed for each feasible set of re-entry conditions. A table is first generated for ballistic, non-ablative re-entry vehicles that have no flight control system. Then, a simple propulsive control system is implemented to observe how the control system impacts the resulting landing uncertainty. To improve the applicability of these tables, an inverse-distance weighting interpolation scheme is employed that utilizes the table entries to determine the landing error for any set of re-entry conditions that a user may provide. Comparing this interpolation to a standard Monte Carlo simulation, it is observed that both methods achieve similar results, but the interpolation method requires less than one second compared to the hour required for a standard Monte Carlo simulation. Thus, the work presented in this thesis represents the first intuitive and computationally inexpensive method to determine landing site error without sacrificing the fidelity of the results.M.S.Aerospace Engineerin
Apparatus And Method For Reducing Noise Levels
No full textA flexible sound shielding curtain contains a plurality of sound insulating sheet inserts encased within pockets or otherwise secured on the exterior surfaces of the panels of a curtain. The sound insulating sheet inserts may be constructed of a combination of materials selected and configured such that sound impinging upon the curtain is absorbed or alternatively reflected. The sound shielding curtain can be tuned to insulate an area from a select range of frequencies inherent in select environments. Tuning may be accomplished through the selection and installation of sound insulating sheet inserts configured to reflect or absorb audible acoustical energy. The sound insulating sheet inserts are readily removable to permit periodic laundering of the curtain fabric and to provide adaptability for a number of applications. Sound shielding curtain(s) can be selected, configured, installed, and extended in such a manner as to provide sound reduction in a localized space. The sound shielding curtain(s) may also be configured with a view window by replacing a portion of one or more sound insulating sheets with an acoustically hard transparent material. The acoustically hard material may also comprise a panel of controllable privacy film.Georgia Tech Research Corporatio
Protein tyrosine phosphatases: structure, signaling and drug discovery/ Lalima G. Ahuja.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index.Protein tyrosine phosphatases remove phosphates from the phosphotyrosine residues of target proteins and reverse the action of various protein tyrosine kinases. This essential interplay between the opposing actions of protein tyrosine phosphatases and protein tyrosine kinases forms the basis of signaling networks that underlie the cellular workings of human physiology. Initially passed-off as housekeeping genes; these proteins were only acknowledged to maintain a steady background of phosphotyrosine levels in the cell. However, recent progress in studying their role in embryonic development and human disease has established their importance as regulators of signal regulation. Convincing evidence shows the role of mutations in these proteins to cause and/or intensify the severity of various diseases including metabolic and neurological disorders and also cancer. Protein tyrosine phosphatases have slowly, yet convincingly become crucial targets for therapeutic intervention of various human pathophysiologies. This book describes these signaling enzymes using the molecular details of their structure and mechanistic function. Various subtypes of cysteine-based Class I, II, III and the Haloacid dehalogenase related Class IV protein tyrosine phosphatases have been illustrated and explained. The superfamily of proteins is also described vis-a-vis its complimentary protein phosphoserine/phosphoserine phosphatases. Membrane bound receptor forms and the cytosolic non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases have been described for their biological function. This book serves as a reference for any reader looking to understand the sequence features, structural elements, molecular mechanism and cellular function of this superfamily of signaling enzymes.Frontmatter -- Preface -- About The Author -- Contents -- 1.Tyrosine Phosphorylation In Cell Signaling: Discovery And Beyond -- 2.Protein Phosphatases: Classification And Domain Architecture -- 3.Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases: Molecular Structure And Mechanism -- 4.The Receptor Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases: Structure And Function -- 5.The Double-Domain Receptor Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases -- 6 The Non-Receptor Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases: Part I -- 7.The Non-Receptor Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases: Part Ii -- 8.Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases: Strategies For Drug Development -- Index1 online resource (xiv, 282 pages
