We analyze and assess new evidence on employment dynamics from a new data source – the National Establishment Time Series (NETS). The NETS offers advantages over existing data sources for studying employment dynamics, including tracking business establishment relocations that can contribute to job creation or destruction on a regional level. Our primary purpose in this paper is to assess the re...

For capillary driven flow the interface curvature is essential in modelling of surface tension via imposition Young-Laplace jump condition. We show that traditional geometric volume fluid (VoF) methods, are based on a piecewise linear approximation interface, do not lead to an which convergent under mesh refinement time-dependent problems. Instead, we propose use parabolic resulting class cal...

Microfinance programs are recognized as a way of improving incomes and creating employment for large numbers of low-income families, but there are concerns that working conditions within these informal microenterprises are far from ideal. For example, when families receive loans to expand a microenterprise, children may make up the labor shortfall until the family can afford to hire adult worke...

A minimum mean square error (MMSE) nulling partial parallel interference cancellation (PPIC) receiver for downlink multipleinput multiple-output (MIMO) multicarrier (MC)-CDMA systems is proposed. Our analysis shows that, for multiuser MIMO MC-CDMA systems, interference due to frequency selectivity in multipath fading channel causes detrimental effects on cancelling, thus V-BLAST receiver shows ...

The decorrelating detector can afford good data estimates because it does not need to know many parameters of the received signal. However, it shows great performance deprivation when the background noise is high. On the other hand, partial parallel interference canceller(PPIC) has the potential to combat the near-far problem and have much lower computation complexity. But its performance depen...

* This work is supported by SXSF Grant #20041044. Abstract In CDMA systems multi-access interference (MAI) is a very important component resulting in poor reception performance, however parallel interference cancellation (PIC) can solve this problem to some extent. But in PIC process error cancellation of interference resulting from error decision at the former stage will influence the veracity...

Optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) is a promising multiple access scheme for next generation passive optical networks (NG-PON). It can afford subscribers with a flexible Gb/s bandwidth for the upstream. However, OCDMA suffers from multiple access interference (MAI) that significantly reduces the performance of the system. To alleviate the undesirable impact of the MAI, we propose a p...
