...This chapter aims to report on a study concerning migrant workers and their effects on the host country. The objective of the study is to investigate the effect of migrants on (i)the relative price and the wage rate, and (ii)the welfare of the native inhabitants in the host country. The methodology for the study involves a two-factors and two-se

In this paper, the homotopy-perturbation method (HPM) is applied to obtain approximate analytical solutions for the Cauchy reaction-diffusion problems. HPM yields solutions in convergent series forms with easily computable terms. The HPM is tested for several examples. Comparisons of the results obtained by the HPM with that obtained by the Adomian

In this paper, a new reliable algorithm based on an adaptation of the standard homotopy-perturbation method (HPM) is presented. The HPM is treated, as an algorithm in a sequence of intervals (ie time step) for finding accurate approximate solutions to the famous Lorenz system. Numerical comparisons between the multistage homotopy-perturbation metho

Many researchers and practitioners from the industry would agree on the importance of corporate entrepreneurship as an effective means for rejuvenating companies and improving their financial performance. In the era of intense global competition, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) realize that a greater focus is required in entrepreneurial behavio

This paper discusses general equilibrium modeling to measure the quantitative effects of unskilled foreign labors on host country, Malaysia as case study. The model presented in this paper is based on GMig2 model developed using GTAP 7 data base. Two-country, five-sectors and five-factors model is formulated to theoretically signify international l

Given a graph �with vertex set V and edge set E, we define a labeling as a function, where weight of edge xy is written as �Total labeling is the sum of xy-label and labels of the vertices that incident to x, thus �l labeling is called as edge irregular total k-labeling of the graph G if for every two different edges e and f of G, �The smal

Fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) signal contains potentially precise information that could assist clinicians in making more appropriate and timely decisions during labor. The ultimate reason for the interest in FECG signal analysis is in clinical diagnosis and biomedical applications. The extraction and detection of the FECG signal from composite ab

In most western countries there is now a consensus that shared parenting is the best alternative for children when their parents separate or divorce. Maintaining a relationship with both parents after divorce, by way of a shared parenting arrangement is said to be the best alternative to merely providing for contact among children and non-resident

FECG (Fetal ECG) signal contains potentially precise information that could assist clinicians in making more appropriate and timely decisions during pregnancy and labour. The extraction and detection of the FECG signal from composite abdominal signals with powerful and advance methodologies is becoming a very important requirement in fetal monitori
