This paper provides non-technical summaries of theories which posit a relationship between aggregate employment and real wages and presents results from Australian and selected overseas empirical studies. Neoclasssical supply side theories assume that real wages, for given endowments of physical capital, primarily influence the cost of employing labour, and have an inverse relationship to aggre...

The inverse kinematics problems of redundant manipulators have been investigated for many years. The conventional method of solving this problem analytically is by applying the Jacobian Pseudoinverse Algorithm. It is effective and able to resolve the redundancy for additional constraints. However, its demand for computational effort makes it not suitable for real-time control. Recently, neural ...

Sanitation improvement is crucial in saving lives that are lost due to water contamination. Progress towards achieving full sanitation coverage is still slow in low-income informal settlements in most developing countries. Furthermore, resources are being wasted on installing facilities that are later misused or never used because they do not meet the local demand. Understanding demand for impr...

This paper proposes an inverse lot-sizing model for eliciting the cost parameters (the setup, holding, and backlog costs) of a supplier from earlier demand vs. optimal lot-size pairs. It is assumed that the supplier solves a single-item, multi-period, uncapacitated lot-sizing problem with backlogs to optimality to calculate its lot-sizes, and the buyer is aware of this fact. The inverse optimiz...

Inverse multiplexing is used to aggregate the bandwidth of multiple channels to create a single high bandwidth virtual channel. This mechanism is being used in circumstances where individual bandwidth of channels is not sufficient enough to fulfill higher bandwidth demand of the multimedia applications [1, 2]. Inverse multiplexing can be implemented above the transport layer [2] or at link laye...
