This paper by using Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP) constructs four different renewable energy scenarios for the Greek transport, energy, and industry sectors. By projecting the demand for renewable energy and the associated resulting carbon dioxide emissions up to the...

In this paper we investigate how to allocate the available budget for agri-environmental measures to maximise environmental benefits and to minimise potential negative side effects resulting for farmers from the implementation of agri-environmental measures. According to the governmental and EU...

This paper sheds light on the increase in generation of non-metallic mineral wastes and the decrease in demand for construction by investigating the material flow resulting from and the economic influence of changes in the supply and demand for wastes, focusing on the period from the near future...

The process of globalization has stimulated the demand for logistics services at a level of speed and increased efficiency, which involves using of techniques, tools, technologies and modern models in supply chain management. The aim of this research paper is to present a model that can be used...

A popular risk measure, conditional value-at-risk (CVaR), is called expected shortfall (ES) in financial applications. The research presented involved developing algorithms for the implementation of linear regression for estimating CVaR as a function of some factors. Such regression is called...

A government plan was announced to expand the share of renewable energy to 20 percent by 2030 in Korea and to construct additional pumped hydro storage (PHS) to prepare for the uncertainty of renewable generation. However, due to the distortion of the Korean electricity market, pumped storage...

Global farmland biodiversity has declined rapidly in recent decades due to the homogenization of agricultural landscapes, including an increase in field sizes and decrease in woody features, such as hedgerows. Restructuring landscapes by (re)introducing woody features and decreasing field sizes...

As the energy market has grown in importance in recent decades, researchers have paid increasing attention to swing option contracts. Early studies evaluated the swing contract as if it were a financial derivative contract, by ignoring its storage constraints. Aided by recent advances in...

The theory of restrictions (TOC) is a philosophy of continuous improvement, which focuses on the weakest link in the chain, to improve the performance of the production system. The purpose of the research was to determine the quantities to be made of each product and its production sequence in a...

We numerically solve the classical 'Game of Pure Strategy' using linear programming. We notice an intricate even-odd behaviour in the results of our computations that seems to encourage odd or maximal bids.
