This paper examines the downward trend in the U.S. labor share of income, which is shown to have declined significantly over the last two decades. This phenomenon is in direct contradiction with standard neoclassical growth theory, which postulates constant factor shares of income. Increased trade with low-income countries, financialization, and the decline of labor unions are some of the explanat
Optical Burst Switching (OBS) architectures without buffering capabilities are sensitive to burst losses. A proper routing strategy may help to reduce such congestion. In this letter we present a novel approach for OBS multi-path source routing problem. Our solution is based on non-linear optimization with a straightforward calculation of partial derivatives. Simulation results demonstrate that op

In the real world, understanding an antenna's radiation pattern is crucial for its proper utilization. Typically, antennas are tested in the far-field region, where the radiation lobes are fully developed and phase errors are less than pi/8. However, due to some drawbacks like an increase in far-field distance for antenna arrays, researchers have shifted towards near-field measurements. These
Det svenska häktningsförfarandet har i decennier fått återkommande kritik från internationella organisationer angående lagreglernas utformning i förhållande till Europakonventionen.
