Talent management by Ismail, Fadillah, Rashid, Umi Kartini, Ahmad, Zanariah, al Hosain, Adnan Ali Hassan, Mohd Rosli, Nur Amalina

“…Notwithstanding, the writing underlines that a "working definition" of the term is missing, where in a hierarchical setting, the term is characterized variously (Lewis & Heckman 2006), and this has made it hard to pick the "right" definition (Tansley, 2011). So as to legitimately characterize ability in an authoritative setting, and as per the target of this examination, three definitions were perceived as fitting:…”

Inflation and inflation uncertainty in the Euro area by Caporale, Guglielmo Maria, Onorante, Luca, Paesani, Paolo

“…A sequential dummy procedure provides further evidence of a structural break coinciding with the introduction of the euro and resulting in lower long-run uncertainty. It also appears that the direction of causality has been reversed, and that in the euro period the Friedman-Ball link is empirically supported, implying that the ECB can achieve lower inflation uncertainty by lowering the inflation rate.…”

Studies of oxime complexes by Shutie, Winston Michael

“…The complexes Fe(Ppo)2.H2O, Fe(Ppo)2 .2py and Fe(po)2.H2O were found to be high spin. This property contrasts the behaviour of iron(II) complexes derived from 2-nitrosophenols, which are low spin, and is rationalised in terms of conjugation effects and the bonding character of the pyrazol-4, 5-dione monooxime ligand. …”
