It assesses the efficiency of the drinking water system for the station of Pisté, Yucatán; analyzing solution alternatives and determining the desirability of making the respective expansion and improvement projects. The work was based on the elaboration of a logical framework matrix of the...

Die gegenwärtigen Kontroversen zu den Auswirkungen eines Energieembargos gegen Russland, ausgelöst durch Russlands Krieg gegen die Ukraine, haben den Fokus auf die Verringerung der Abhängigkeit von fossilen Energieträgern und eine Neuordnung der Energieversorgung gelegt....

We present an integrated market model which considers the dependencies between the wholesale market and the highly regulated balancing power markets. This fosters the understanding of the mechanisms of these markets and, thus, allows the evaluation of the designs of these markets and their...

This paper offers a resolution to an extensively studied question in theoretical economics: which measure spaces are suitable for modeling many economic agents? We propose the condition of 'nowhere equivalence' to characterize those measure spaces that can be effectively used to model the space...

Aim: There exists an inequilibrium between the available quantity of goods and the level of consumption resulting in local economic polarisations and asymmetric capital concentrations. Replacements of real money with derivative instruments cause strong perturbations on capital markets. Consumer...

This paper presents a general model of a competitive market with consumption externalities, and establishes the existence of equilibrium in the model, under assumptions comparable to those in classical models. The model allows production and indivisible goods. Examples illustrate the generality...

Die Interpretation des Zinssatzes als Preis ist problematisch. Im Gegensatz zum Preis ist der Zinssatz kein Austauschverhältnis. Modelle, in denen der Zinssatz mit einem Preis für die Nutzung von Kapital identifiziert werden kann, sind sehr speziell. In allgemeineren Modellen sind Zinssatz und...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the reaction of the insolvency rate to the various shocks in the economies of Romania and Spain through a Structural Vector Autoregressive model. Departing from quarterly data for 2008-2016, it was found that the future values of the insolvency rate...

Contemporary decision support systems are increasingly relying on artificial intelligence technology such as machine learning algorithms to form intelligent systems. These systems have human-like decision capacity for selected applications based on a decision rationale which cannot be looked-up...

Due to computational advances in the past decades, so-called intelligent systems can learn from increasingly complex data, analyze situations, and support users in their decision-making to address them. However, in practice, the complexity of these intelligent systems renders the user hardly...
