This paper presents a GIS-based decision support system for selecting least-cost bioenergy locations when there is a significant variability in biomass farmgate price and when more than one bioenergy plant with a fixed capacity has to be placed in the regi ...
Optimization in the process industry has received a lot of attention in recent years because, in the face of growing competition, it represents a natural choice for reducing production costs, improving product quality, and meeting safety requirements and e ...
NOVELTY - Conjugate (I) of an agonist ligand directed to ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) of the Cys loop-family with a chromophore, is new. USE - (I) is useful in the receptor proteins and/or their interaction with the agonistic ligand, where the interac ...
In this paper, we develop a stochastic, discrete, structured meta population model to explore the dynamics and patterns of biodiversity of riparian vegetation. In the model, individual plants spread along a branched network via directional dispersal and un ...
The network industries have been undergoing a process of reform, where liberalisation is one of the main features. This thesis studies the effect of liberalisation, with and without competition, on the incumbent's incentives to innovate. A model of incumbe ...
Both theoretical predictions and experimental findings suggest that T cell populations can compete with each other. There is some debate on whether T cells compete for aspecific stimuli, such as access to the surface on antigen-presenting cells (APCs) or f ...
Experiments were conducted to quantify Fe(II) sorption onto goethite in the absence and presence of As(III). The experimental data obtained in single-sorbate experiments were modeled using a diffuse double layer surface complexation model and used to predi ...
The maintenance of sexual reproduction remains one of the major puzzles of evolutionary biology, since, all else being equal, an asexual mutant should have a twofold fitness advantage over the sexual wildtype. Most theories suggest that sex helps either to ...
Although the gas market in the European Union was opened up with two major directives in 1998 and 2003, competition in Europe is still developing slowly. One major cause is the insufficient availability of gas that is not contracted by long-term contracts ...
The purpose of this paper is to present the different forms of economic regulation in the network industries, following the debate about restructuring these industries. The main theories on (economic) regulation of the network industries are presented and ...
