This study aims to investigate the effects of fiscal policy instruments on economic growth in Jordan using annual data from 1970 to 2019, by applying the VAR model (Vector Auto regression) and the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The study also examines the dynamic relationship among economic variables over time using the Granger casualty test, Impulse Response Function, and Variance Decomposition. The results show that not only the public expenditures have a positive effect on economic growth in Jordan, but also the tax revenues positively affect the economic growth in the short-run, and this is because of using the tax revenues to finance the government activities in Jordan. This effect becomes negative in the long run, and this is explained because the tax seems a source of distortions in the economy, The extreme taxes may cause huge distortions in the economy, and these distortions destroys the purchasing power, the aggregate demand, and supply. More governmental dependence on tax revenues is the main source of tax evasion and less efficiency. The effect of taxation will curb any prosperity in the economy. Therefore, the government should estimate the fair tax rates to generate sufficient revenues to finance the public expenditure required to enhance economic prosperity.

In this paper, A Connection Admission Control(CAC) algorithm by Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation is proposed. The B-ISDN will be required to carry traffic generated by a various traffic sources. These source will have all traffic flow characteristics and quality of services requirements. When a connectionless message with burstiness arrives at a node during a renewal period, CAC will be dynamically determined connection request by using the predetermined connection admission bounds in estimating the number of input arriving cells. The proposed algorithm estimates the available bandwidth by observing cell streams of the aggregate traffic. A connection request is accepted if the available bandwidth is larger than declared peak rate, and otherwise rejected. The proposed CAC scheme is shown to be promising and practically feasible in obtaining efficient transmission of burst traffic with guaranteed quality of services.

Performance of ground-source heat pumps (GSHPs) is mainly affected by ground heat exchangers which makes up more than 40% of construction cost. Exact construction and grout as backfill are important, because it is difficult to repair after being installed. As grout materials, bentonite grout material and cement material are used In this paper, thermal conductivity according to mix proportion of cement grout has been experimentally studied. Some variables were set to evaluate thermal conductivities according to change in cement content, unit water ratio, mass per volume of fresh mortar, and aggregate types. From the experimental analysis, high performance cement grout has been proposed.

Abstract Over 4.1 billion tons of non-hazardous solid wastes are generated in the United States annually. This equals to about 16 tons of wastes per person, per year. Disposal of the wastes is a national concern due to many factors such as environmental issues, costs, and public views. South Carolina, like many other states, had a home of many military bases which were ordered to be closed. The contaminated soil was vitrified and tested for suitability in the asphalt mixes. For mix design purposes, a total of 75 specimens were made and tested. For moisture susceptibility testing, a total of 32 samples were made and tested. The results indicate that the mixtures made with sample B produced dry and wet that were comparable with the controlled mixture. At this point and with in this limited study, use of 5% of sample B in asphalt mixture is recommended in several applications such as parking lots, walking paths and drive ways.

This paper describes an efficient framework for the extraction of a brain tumor from magnetic resonance (MR) images. Before the segmentation process, a median filter is used to filter the image. Then, the morphological gradient is computed and added to the filtered image for intensity enhancement. After the enhancement process, the thresholding value is calculated using the mean and the standard deviation of the image. This thresholding value is used to binarize the image followed by the morphological operations. Moreover, the combination of these morphological operations allows to compute the local thresholding image supported by a flood-fill algorithm and a pixel replacement process to extract the tumor from the brain. Thus, this framework provides a new source of evidence in the field of segmentation that the specialist can aggregate with the segmentation results in order to soften his/her own decision.

Using the Census on Establishments collected by Statistics Korea, we analyze how the patterns of job creation and destruction differ across counties (si-gun-gu). We measure aggregate employment changes due to establishment startups, expansions, contractions, and shutdowns for each county and quantify the role of such reallocations in explaining variation in employment growth across counties. Overall we find that both rates of net entry and job creation play an important role in explaining differences in net job creation rates across regions. Moreover, counties with high employment growth rates also tend to have high exit and job destruction rates, which suggests that an active process of job reallocation is a key source of regional employment growth.

Over 4.1 billion metric tons of non-hazardous solid wstes are generated in the United States annually. Therefore, there is a need to reuse or reprocess as many products or by-products as possible. In this report, theaggregates produced from Naval Shipyard and Charleston area dredge spoils are designated as GP-21-23 and GP 4-5, repectively. The major objective of this study is to determine the feasiblity of the use of these aggregates in concrete. The followings are some of the conclusions, observations and recommendations regarding this portion of the research project. In most cases, the unit weight of concrete containing GP 21-23 and GP 4-5 (vitrified galss) lower than the control concrete, and the concrete containing vitrified glass produced lower compressive and bending strength compared to the control. However the concrete containing virtrified glass could be used in the field based on the minimum criterial set for the mix design. The use of vitrified glass in concrete is recommended in several applications except parking lots, side walks and main roads, because abrasion resistace is not high.

전로슬랙에 폐주물사($SiO_2$원)와 탄소를 첨가하여 환원 . 용해함으로써얻은 개질슬랙의 기본적인 물성을 조사하였다. 염기도에 따라 철의 회수율이 크게 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었다. 염기도를 1.34로 조절하고 환원하여 철을 분리 회수한 후, 서냉하여 얻은 개질슬랙의 주요 물성치(비중, 흡수율, 경도 및 압축강도)들은 천연골재와 유사한 값을 보인다.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to develop a tractable general-equilibrium model of examining the impact of human resource management on intra-industry trade. Commonly, managers of Korean firms are promoted internally. It necessitates a study of human resource management and its impact on an industrial equilibrium. Design/methodology - This paper relies on theoretical analysis. We build a model in firms are hierarchical; an entrepreneur, managers, and workers. All individuals have heterogeneous managerial talents, which are the main source of managerial quality. Firms search talents for prospect managers, and eventually delegate them to supervise workers. The searching incurs a sunk cost. Findings - Our finding is as follows. Country 1, relatively abundant of managerial talents, can gain more from trade than Country 2, relatively scarce of managerial talents. This is because the higher searching cost leads to the lower survival rate of firms in Country 2. Implicatively, good jobs are destroyed, and aggregate income falls in Country 2. Originality/value - According to our study, relative abundance of managerial talents affects distribution of firm size and determines trade gain. This study can contribute to the literature of organization management and trade.

도시하수와 관련된 비점원 오염에 대한 관심은 더 나은 수질계획을 위한 새로운 도구의 발전을 이끌어 왔다. 이 논문은 도시의 수질연구를 위해 지리정보체계가 어떻게 응용되는지를 보여준다. 지리정보체계는 비점원 오염 모형화를 위한 토지이용자료를 관리하기 위해 이용되고, 또한 여러 가지 형태의 지리적 집합체내에서 오염물질을 평가하는데 이용된다. 경험적인 수질모형은 토지이용에 근본을 둔 오염물질 축적을 평가하기 위해 이용된다. 토지이용범위는 최근 사진의 판독을 통해서 구범위를 갱신함으로써 결정된다. 이러한 토지이용범위는 각각의 토지이용 다각형에 대한 오염물질 축적을 기록하는데 이용된다. 도시하수 유역과 소하수 유역의 범위를 결정하기 위해 하수지도를 수치화 시키고 해석한다. 하수구 소유역층에서 오염물질 축적을 중첩시킴으로써 주요하수의 출구에 대한 오염 축적물이 계산된다. 축적 정보를 기본으로 과다 오염 축적물의 임계지역이 어디에 위치하고 있으며, 오염 축적물을 통제하기 위한 최선의 관리기법의 효율성이 평가된다.
