Since the reform and opening up, the Chinese economy has achieved sustained high-speed growth. However, the widening gaps in income, especially for rural China, seem to be a dark lining to these extraordinary achievements. Taking the duration of poverty into the consideration, this article analyzes the income inequality of rural per capita net income (RPCNI) based on income mobility in rural Ch...

Impact of mobility will be increasingly important in future generation wireless services and the related challenges need to addressed. Sojourn time, time duration that a mobile user stays within cell, is mobility-aware parameter can significantly impact performance users it also exploited improve resource allocation management methods network. In this paper, we derive distribution mean sojourn ...

the role played by soil constituents in governing temporal trends of metal mobility in calcareousmediterranean soils deserves special attention due to the particular soil and climate characteristics. reactionsoccurring during the aging modify the metal mobility over time, and the rate of metal application and type ofsoil can be decisive in the outcome of aging reactions in soils. the aim of the...

future increase of mobile communication subscribers will require a great capacity expansion of the cellular systems. in order to accommodate the increasing number of subscribers, the cell size will have to be much smaller than current size. therefore, it is predictable that the location updating and paging procedures will produce a major part of signaling traffic in these networks. this pape...

3 To all these who believe in, hope for, and work towards a more human technology, I dedicate my work. Abstract Mobility management is the cornerstone of cellular philosophy. Mobility analysis gives a deep insight on the impact of the terminal mobility on the cellular system performance. In third-generation mobile communication systems, the influence of mobility on the network performance will ...

Abstract This paper reflects on the importance of ‘time spent’ in understanding international student experience. Short‐term mobility programmes (involving stays between 1 week and 2 months) attracting less privileged students, such as relatively new Turing Scheme United Kingdom, have been hailed a potential ‘solution’ to fact that, traditionally, wealthier individuals far more likely engage st...

The study relies on job duration data drawn from the German Socio-economic Panel. It shows with non-parametric duration methods that job matches are less stable in east than in west Germany. ...
