This paper aimed to discover the dynamics attracting foreign students to pursue higher education in Taiwan. Internationalization in higher education has long been a topic of interest for many researchers. A significant body of literature has focused on the dynamics behind student mobility. In general, these studies used pull-push terminology to explain student mobility, as well as suggesting th...

Smartphones are now ubiquitous and valuable in many professions and yet have also been blamed for creating an ‘always on’ culture, blurring boundaries between work and home. Research has shown that checking e-mails out-of-hours via computer makes workers feel more overloaded with work but also increases their sense of coping. A total of 94 participants completed a survey exploring whether the s...

We prove that a pushing-block puzzle called PUSHPUSH-k is PSPACE-complete for any fixed k ≥ 1. In this puzzle, a robot moves on a finite grid. Each grid position is either empty or occupied by a single obstacle block. While moving, the robot may push obstacle blocks in direction of its movement, subject to certain constraints. In particular, once an obstacle block starts moving, it continues to...

PRELIMINARY AND INCOMPLETE: PLEASE DO NOT CITE Big Push models suggest that local product demand can create multiple labor market equilibria: one featuring high wages, formalization, and high demand and one with low wages, informality, and low demand. I demonstrate that minimum wages may coordinate development at the high wage equilibrium. Using data from 1990s Indonesia, where minimum wages in...

This paper addresses an experimental investigation in the hydrodynamic behavior of a modified slotted sieve tray. Slotted sieve tray (Push valve sieve tray) is a sieve tray that the push valves have been utilized on the tray deck to eliminate liquid gradients and non-uniformity of liquid distribution on the tray. The air-water system was used in an industrial scale experimental rig with an inte...

Direct-carrier modulation is an attractive technique for low-cost high-performance radar transceivers. In this paper, it is shown that, when the technique is applied to a generic homodyne radar architecture, the signaling waveform can be software adapted without requiring any hardware modifications. The key circuit in this novel software radar is a -band monolithic – vector modulator employing ...

The focus of user behavior in the Internet has changed over the recent years towards being driven by exchanging and accessing information. Many advances in networking technologies have utilized this change by focusing on the content of an exchange rather than the endpoints exchanging the content. Network coding and informationcentric networking are two examples of these technology trends, each ...
