Statistical bias correction methods for numerical weather prediction (NWP) forecasts of maximum and minimum temperatures over India in the medium-range time scale (up to 5 days) are proposed in this study. The objective of bias correction is to minimize the systematic error of the next forecast...

Globally integrated modelling is achieved by employing trade matrices for linking country models. In the case of COMPASS, this is achieved by having time series for trade matrices of 25 commodity groups linking 53 countries and regions. In addition to country models that are estimated...

This paper employs (1) a three-sector structuralist model of development with informal and formal activities and (2) a global one-sector model with demand determined outputs and bargained distribution to investigate whether India's growth performance can be sustained, where the country might...

The main subject of this paper is to present a new simplified global model for the switched reluctance machine (SRM), useful, namely, for the command and control analysis of this kind of system. The concepts of power and energy are used in the global model construction, with the definition of...

The photovoltaic (PV) power industry has grown rapidly in recent years, and associated with that growth has been a decline in costs. There are indications that PV has already reached cost-parity with power off the grid in some markets and projections that it will attain such grid parity in many...

The literature on tourism and climate change lacks an analysis of the global changes in tourism demand. Here a simulation model of international tourism is presented that fills that gap. The current pattern of international tourist flows is modelled using 1995 data on departures and arrivals for...

Nachhaltigkeitsindizes werden von mehreren Organisationen berechnet, um den anthropogenen Einfluss auf das Ökosystem zu evaluieren. Dieser Beitrag stellt das Konzept des Ecological Footprint (EF), des ökologischen Fußabdrucks, vor.
