On the Conditions of Price Consistency in the Input-Output Model

2013

The input-ouput model remains the basis of most SAM or CGE models. It actually uses two periods: the prices indexes solve it with the current period coefficients; the corresponding physical model is monoperiodic: the current prices solve it with the base period coefficients. The Leontief model is not consistent --- both models diverge generally --- unless the interindustry matrix of direct and indirect quantities of labor is stable over time. This implies that the vertically integrated labor coefficients are stable. This assumption is satisfied when the physical production coefficients and the physical labor coefficients are stable over time, two very strong assumptions.

Finite element analysis of varitional crimes for a quasilinear elliptic problem in 3D

2000

We examine a finite element approximation of a quasilinear boundary value elliptic problem in a three-dimensional bounded convex domain with a smooth boundary. The domain is approximated by a polyhedron and a numerical integration is taken into account. We apply linear tetrahedral finite elements and prove the convergence of approximate solutions on polyhedral domains in the $W^1_2$ -norm to the true solution without any additional regularity assumptions.

Vereinfachte Rekursionen zur Richardson-Extrapolation in Spezialf�llen

1975

Recursions are given for Richardson-extrapolation based on generalized asymptotic expansions for the solution of a finite algorithm depending upon a parameterh>0. In particular, these expansions may contain terms likeh ?·log(h), (?>0). Simplified formulae are established in special cases. They are applicable to numerical integration of functions with algebraic or logarithmic endpoint singularities and provide a Romberg-type quadrature.

Information Integration Platform for Patient-Centric Healthcare Services: Design, Prototype and Dependability Aspects

2014

Published version of an article in the journal: Future Internet. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/fi6010126 Open Access Technology innovations have pushed today’s healthcare sector to an unprecedented new level. Various portable and wearable medical and fitness devices are being sold in the consumer market to provide the self-empowerment of a healthier lifestyle to society. Many vendors provide additional cloud-based services for devices they manufacture, enabling the users to visualize, store and share the gathered information through the Internet. However, most of these services are integrated with the devices in a closed “silo” manner, where the devices can…

Fronteras por definir, descontento creciente, alianzas inestables y amenazas externas: la Unión Europea y su tormenta perfecta

2018

espanolLa Union Europea se halla en una crisis existencial tan evidente que incluso politicos y analistas con antecedentes ideologicos diametralmente opues-tos han acabado coincidiendo en su diagnostico, y en la necesidad urgente de una terapia de choque que detenga lo que parece una carrera hacia la destruccion del proyecto europeo. El proposito del presente ensayo es pasar revista —aun al precio de tener que ser extraordinariamente sintetico en su abordaje— a los problemas que han sumido a la Union Europea en la mas grave crisis de su ya larga historia. Problemas que en todo caso son susceptibles de agruparse en cuatro grandes rubros: los que han ralentizado y hasta invertido el proceso d…

Mobile Ontologies

2008

The number of mobile subscribers in the world is soon reaching the three billion mark. According to the newest estimates, majority of the subscribers are already in the developing countries, whereas the number of subscribers in the industrialized countries is about to stagnate around one billion. Because especially in the developing countries the only access to Internet are mobile devices, developing high quality services based on them grows in importance. Ontologies are an important ingredient towards more complicated mobile services and wider usage of mobile terminals. In this article, we first discuss ontology and epistemology concepts in general. After that, we review ontologies in the …

A framework to determine maximum capacity of interconnecting DGs in distribution networks

2018

Interconnecting Distributed Generation (DG) in the distribution network is considered as an important area of power system planning. When the DG placed inappropriately, the DG can have negative impact on some important and critical characteristics of system performance such as increased power losses, degraded voltage profile, and mis-coordination between protection devices. This paper introduces a framework to determine the maximum capacity limits of interconnecting DG units in radial distribution networks in order to keep protection scheme unchanged, while the voltage profile remains within acceptable range and on the same time having the minimum power losses in the network; applying this …

A review of thermochemical energy storage systems for power grid support

2020

Power systems in the future are expected to be characterized by an increasing penetration of renewable energy sources systems. To achieve the ambitious goals of the “clean energy transition”, energy storage is a key factor, needed in power system design and operation as well as power-to-heat, allowing more flexibility linking the power networks and the heating/cooling demands. Thermochemical systems coupled to power-to-heat are receiving an increasing attention due to their better performance in comparison with sensible and latent heat storage technologies, in particular, in terms of storage time dynamics and energy density. In this work, a comprehensive review of the state of art of theore…

Energy saving and user satisfaction for a new advanced public lighting system

2019

Abstract The retrofit of urban lighting systems is often an advantageous means of achieving notable energy savings and improvements in the quality of light. User habits, expectations and lifestyle can contribute to the design of these systems, for example in deciding on the most appropriate control strategies or the light quality. The influence of such variables can be extended to the overall system performance. This paper presents a method of street lighting design based on two kinds of analysis carried out in a defined test area: measurements (by means of a monitoring study) and user preferences (by means of a survey). The results of this data analysis create the basis for the final desig…
