Globalization has led to huge increases in import volumes, but the literature on import forecasting is still in its infancy. We introduce the first leading indicator especially constructed for total import growth, the so-called Import Climate. It builds on the idea that the import demand of the...

Globalization has led to huge increases in import volumes, increasing the importance of imports for total output. Since imports are a volatile component, they are difficult to forecast and strongly influence the forecast accuracy of gross domestic product. We introduce the first leading...

The void fraction distribution is crucial for the two-phase flow characteristics, the available Void fraction Distribution Fast Prediction model (VDFP) can improve the prediction accuracy of the 1D nuclear system analysis codes. In the past, one VDFP called 1D Test-Solver was developed to...
