This paper extends the line of research attempting to link innovation to economic growth by addressing some unexplored questions Using global patent data this paper empirically investigates the importance of both the quantity and quality of innovation on e ...
Nonlinear storage-discharge relations may explain important hydrologic features frequently observed under a variety of environmental conditions. In this paper the catchment dynamic storage problem is addressed by incorporating nonlinear storage-discharge r ...
Travel time is an important network performance measure and it quantifies congestion in a manner easily understood by all transport users. In urban networks, travel time estimation is challenging due to number of reasons such as, fluctuations in traffic fl ...
A large and growing body of empirical research shows that social relationships and the networks these relationships constitute are influential in explaining the processes of knowledge creation, diffusion, absorption and use. We refer to such networks as “k ...
We present a percolation based model which is suitable for the design of sensors based on highly ordered nanogap arrays. Monte-Carlo simulations and analytical expressions are used to calculate the sensitivity and dynamic range as a function of the topolog ...
The paper intends to identify the requirements of technological progress in public transportation and resultant impacts on people’s daily life and social inequalities, with a specific regard to the case of Santiago de Chile. There public transport policy h ...
In this study we investigate electrical conduction in finite rectangular random resistor networks in quasione and two dimensions far away from the percolation threshold p(c) by the use of a bond percolation model. Various topologies such as parallel linear ...
In urban network, detectors are generally used for signal control. If the data from detectors are also used for travel time estimation and fed back to the traffic management and information systems then it will be a significant contribution for managing ur ...
Olfactometer experiments are used to determine the effect of odours on the behaviour of organisms such as insects or nematodes, and typically result in data comprising many groups of small counts, overdispersed relative to the multinomial distribution. Ove ...
Many parameters influence the falling-film evaporation process and, despite numerous studies, the basic mechanisms remain only partially clear, making the prediction of heat transfer still mainly an empirical process. The most important thermal design para ...
