This paper examines the design and efficiency of a highway use reservation system where commuters need reservations to access a highway facility at specific times. We show that, by accommodating reservation requests to the level that the highway capacity a ...
Tests with vertebrates are an integral part of environmental hazard identification and risk assessment of chemicals, plant protection products, pharmaceuticals, biocides, feed additives and effluents. These tests raise ethical and economic concerns and are ...
Europe is perceived to be lagging behind the US in converting its academic results into economic outcomes. Using new survey data on European and US technology transfer offices (TTOs), we find that differences in academic research, TTO staff and experience ...
In this paper, a modified TF-IDF approach is proposed to recommend experts by inferring search query topics using metadata. A multi-disciplinary reputation metric is also introduced to select people with specific expertise. The approach is validated on Men ...
The behaviour of cells cultured within three-dimensional (3D) structures rather than onto two-dimensional (2D) culture plastic more closely reflects their in vivo responses. Consequently, 3D culture systems are becoming crucial scientific tools in cancer c ...
This paper is a keynote presentation from the 13th International Congress on the Chemistry of Cement. It discusses the underlying principles of hydration and recent evidence for the mechanisms governing this process in both Portland cements and other cemen ...
We use an analogy to porous media to derive a correlation for the friction factor in CICC s We start with a review of selected literature work on this topic We then recall the principles of the porous medium analogy and present the main body of our work on ...
