In terms of delivery of compressed videos, two service categories are frequently considered, namely, deterministic and statistic. It is a general belief that the statistic service can achieve more efficient bandwidth utilization than the deterministic one due to its statistically multiplexing streams. In this paper, we, however, investigate the possibility of applying the multiplexing principle...

Do reported reservation wages correspond to the concept of reservation wages that economists have? Using panel data on British unemployed I calculate reservation wages from a search model and compare these with reported reservation wages. It is shown that men’s reported reservation wages are greater than what the model predicts, and that for women there is hardly a relation between the two vari...

A Contribution to the Empirics of Reservation Wages This paper provides evidence on the behavior of reservation wages over the spell of unemployment using high‐frequency longitudinal data. Using data from our survey of unemployed workers in New Jersey, where workers were interviewed each week for up to 24 weeks, we find that self‐reported reservation wages decline at a modest rate over the spel...

ÐIn this paper, we study distributed path reservation protocols for multiplexed all-optical interconnection networks. The path reservation protocols negotiate the reservation and establishment of connections that arrive dynamically to the network. These protocols can be applied to both wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and time division multiplexing (TDM) networks. Two classes of protocols...

the main purpose of this article is to determine the nature and effects of reservation of title clauses in iranian law. to bring out the exact comprehension of its nature in iranian law, the study of the matter in other legal systems is required. although it is not always easy to pass upon the question of validity of these clauses in iranian law, by highlighting the security interest in such co...

In multimedia wireless networks, when a mobile host (MH) moves to a neighbor cell, it requests the base station (BS) to reserve the bandwidth for seamless handoff. The reservation scheme based on the fixed 2-tier cell structure was proposed to prevent the reservation requests from the MHs close to the BSs. In this reservation scheme, the BS requests the reservation only when the MH is outside o...

Distributed lightpath establishment in WDM optical networks involves, apart from routing, two important steps, namely wavelength selection and wavelength reservation. In uni-wavelength reservation protocols, often multiple connection requests unknowingly compete for the same wavelength, even when other free wavelengths are available, resulting in a collision. Attempting multiple wavelengths for...

Do Reservation Wages Really Decline? Some International Evidence on the Determinants of Reservation Wages Using cross-country data, we investigate the determinants of reservation wages and their course over the jobless spell. Higher unemployment benefits lead to higher reservation wages. Further, again consistent with the basic search model, repeated observations on the same individual provide ...

This paper describes and evaluates distributed wavelength reservation protocols for all{optical WDM networks. These protocols are essential for applying WDM techniques to large scale all{optical networks. The protocols ensure that the wavelengths on the links along a path are reserved before communication takes place. A message is transmitted using the reserved wavelengths and remains in the op...
