Kinetic modeling of lag times during photo-induced inactivation of E. coli in sunlit surface waters: Unraveling the pathways of exogenous action

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis, Jean Arnaud Troyon

This work presents a kinetic analysis of the exogenous photo-induced disinfection of E. coli in natural waters. Herein, the inactivation of bacteria by light and photo-generated transient species, i.e., hydroxyl radical (HO center dot), excited triplet sta ...

Do exogenous changes in passive institutional ownership affect corporate governance and firm value?

Rüdiger Fahlenbrach

We investigate whether corporations and their executives react to an exogenous change in passive institutional ownership and alter their corporate governance structure. We find that exogenous increases in passive ownership lead to increases in CEO power an ...

Performance degradation diagnosis of thermal power plants: A method based on advanced exergy analysis

Ligang Wang

The performance of energy systems usually degrades gradually away from the best operation conditions during continuous operation. Since the components in an energy system are interconnected with each other, the performance degradation or anomalies occurrin ...

Correcting for endogeneity using the multiple indicator solution

Michel Bierlaire, Matthieu Marie Cochon de Lapparent, Anna Fernández Antolín

In this paper we extend the Multiple Indicator Solution (MIS),used to correct for endogeneity, so that it can also be used when there are interactions between observed and unobserved factors in the specification of the utility function. We show the theoret ...

Simultaneous Modeling of Endogenous Influence of Urban Form and Public Transit Accessibility on Distance Traveled

Laetitia Bettex, Luis Fernando Miranda Moreno

This paper describes an attempt to understand better the endogenous relationships between urban form, accessibility to public transit, and daily travel distance. A model of two simultaneous equations was implemented. The model took into account the interac ...

On the Design of Integral Observers for Unbiased Output Estimation in the Presence of Uncertainty

Dominique Bonvin, Levente Bodizs

Integral observers are useful tools for estimating the plant states in the presence of non-vanishing disturbances resulting from plant-model mismatch and exogenous disturbances. It is well known that these observers can eliminate bias in all states, given ...

Hydrological forecasting model in Colombia: application to the Magdalena River

André Musy, Bettina Schaefli, Richard Metzger

The development of a hydrological forecasting model is conditioned by the available data collected in the entire hydrological catchment for which discharge has to be predicted. The forecast quality not only depends on the available historical data but also ...
