Abstract

Nowadays, in order to better understand and forecast the dynamics of the oceans, we have a powerful tool, which are the numerical models. Their main approach is to perform numerical simulations of a natural environment. In this sense, the analysis of connectivity and dispersion [...]

Abstract

In order to have a complete Architecture of the ACTIVAGE platform, the device domain constituted of smart sensor nodes, gateways, connectivity and its associated protocols must be also considered. Therefore, it is imperative to identify the different devices required to implement [...]

Abstract

Being one of the few remaining communist States in the world, North Korea offers a good example of a constrained economy facing dramatic internal and external pressures. Although land transport dominates in North Korea due to border trade with China and Russia, maritime transport [...]

Abstract

Network analysis has already a long history in operations research and quantitative social science research. In the past, much attention has been paid to shortest-route algorithms (for example, the travelling salesman problem), where the spatial configuration of networks was put [...]

Abstract

major challenge to cleaner and more sustainable transportation is the lack of adoptability of electric vehicles (EVs) by customers. Therefore, most of the vehicles we see on the road use fossil fuel instead of sustainable green energy sources. One way to improve customer acceptance [...]

Abstract

This paper deals with the issue of road network vulnerability and describes the implementation of a methodology which ranks the links of a network according to their importance for maintaining a proper connectivity between all origin-destination pairs. Such a ranking can be easily [...]

Abstract

Agglomeration economies are among the most important factors to increase firm productivity. However, there is little evidence supportive of this in Africa. By applying the conditional and nested logit models, this paper examines the relationship between firm locations and infrastructure [...]

Abstract

This paper examines the linkages between urban form and city productivity, using alternative metrics for urban form and applying them to a comprehensive sample of Latin American cities. Although most of the literature has concentrated on the effects of population density (compact [...]
