We study a stochastic model of electricity production and consumption where appliances are adaptive and adjust their consumption to the available production, by delaying their demand and possibly using batteries. The model incorporates production volatilit ...
Objectives, data collection, model estimation, elasticities, value of time and validation in the context of the Optima project, a collaborative work between EPFL’s Transportation Center (TraCe) and CarPostal, the public transport branch of the Swiss Postal ...
This paper analyses the role of patent-filing fees requested by the member states of the European Patent Convention (EPC). We provide first empirical evidence showing that the fee elasticity of the demand for priority applications is negative and significa ...
Supply chain management is widely accepted as a means for companies to gain competitive advantage. While product and information flows have been widely covered in the literature, relatively little attention has been paid to the management of a supply chain ...
The economic and social demand for ubiquitous and multifaceted electronic systems-in combination with the unprecedented opportunities provided by the integration of various manufacturing technologies-is paving the way to a new class of heterogeneous integr ...
Microstereolithography is a new microfabrication process that evolved from the rapid prototyping industry. The first developments in this technology started in 1993 and different research teams around the world have developed microstereolithography machine ...
Having regard to the increasing demand for electric energy in Western Europe, the paper discusses growing problems on the supply side in connection with increasing costs and protection of the environment, whilst new lines have to be built in a complex syst ...
'Elec.-paint displays' are electrochromic displays with dyed nanostructured metal-oxide electrodes, e.g. viologen-derivatized nanostructured titanium dioxide electrodes. Such displays are particularly promising for applications with low switch frequency, l ...
Given the increasing demand for services that can guarantee a maximum end-to-end delay in the Internet, it is important to understand the behaviour of different existing networks. We consider networks that implement scheduling per aggregate flow. We give a ...
