English

Subject field(s)
  • Economic Fluctuations
CONT

When growth & decline are examined with regard to the administrative component of organizations, an apparent dichotomy exists between cross-sectional designs & within organization longitudinal studies. The results of longitudinal studies indicate the existence of a ratcheting effect of the administrative component that cannot be explained by the size construct alone. Therefore, an analysis of the ratchet effect is presented & a conceptual model of factors influencing the growth & decline of the administrative component is proposed.

CONT

According to the Economic Council of Canada, the number of chronically unemployed workers (those unemployed a year or more) never recovered after the 1981-82 recession but has increased. The numbers may reach a benchmark from numbers of chronically unemployed fail to find work in the recovery cycles which follow a recession

Subject field(s)
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
DEF

The wetted boundary of an open channel at a specified section [standardized by ISO].

CONT

The model used to estimate downstream pollutant concentration is based on an idealized rectangular channel of width(W) and depth(d). The hydraulic radius(r) for the channel is required in order to estimate the turbulent diffusion coefficient(E). The hydraulic radius is defined as the stream cross-sectional area(a) divided by the wetted perimeter(P).

OBS

wetted perimeter: standardized by ISO.

  • Mécanique des fluides et hydraulique (Physique)

DEF

Longueur de la paroi d'un canal ou d'une conduite en contact avec le fluide, mesurée dans un plan perpendiculaire à la direction de l'écoulement. Le périmètre mouillé sert au calcul du rayon hydraulique.
