A modified invasion percolation model that includes migration and fragmentation processes is presented. Fluid clusters were formed using the ordinary gravity invasion percolation model. Migration of fluid clusters was driven by buoyancy forces. The fluid formed a fragmented structure oriented in...

A more realistic theoretical simulation model for a tubular solar adsorption refrigerating system using activated … adsorption bed, the condenser, and the evaporator. The simulation technique takes into account the variations of ambient …, the pressure distribution inside the adsorption bed has been found nearly uniform and varying only with time. Furthermore …

In this paper, we introduce a dynamic model of a thermal adsorber powered by solar energy. The system operates with silica gel (as an adsorbent) and water (as a refrigerant). The Finite Difference approximation was used; the obtained numerical model was then incorporated in a MATLAB code in order...

Distribution network design as a strategic decision has long-term effect on tactical and operational supply chain management. In this research, the location-allocation problem is studied under demand uncertainty. The purposes of this study were to specify the optimal number and location of...

This paper investigates the finite-sample properties of the smooth transition-based cointegration test proposed by Kapetanios et al. (2006) when the data generating process under the alternative hypothesis is a globally stationary second order LSTR model. The provided procedure describes an...

Benchmarking methods are widely used in the regulation of firms in network industries working under heterogeneous exogenous environments. In this paper we compare three recently developed estimators, namely conditional DEA (Daraio and Simar, 2005, 2007b), latent class SFA (Orea and Kumbhakar, 2004;...
