In this paper, the results of the model for forecasting the flow parameters of a distributed transport system of the conveyor type are briefly considered. It is shown that the model of the transport system based on the neural network can be successfully applied to predict the flow parameters of...

Reducing the amount of energy used in producing a given output is a cost-effective way of tackling global warming. In addition, energy efficiency promotes energy security and saves cost. This study is structured in three parts. First, the energy efficiency practices of small and medium scale...

Open and competitive bidding process (toss a coin) promotes transparency, efficiency and cost reduction as compared to direct negotiations (shake a hand). This paper provides an overview of renewable energy interventions in Angola, Algeria, Cote Dvoire, Ghana and Nigeria. Further, best practices...

Lands, which are unsuitable for intensive use, are cultivated with agricultural practices, fertilizer and tools that are used in organic farming. The author proposes to use these areas for the production of environmentally friendly products, to ensure domestic food aid to the population and...

Modeling of production and technical systems is an effective method for their research. A widespread class is formed by production and technical systems, in which the deterministic nature of technological processes is combined with their stochastic nature. The patterns of functioning of...

This final Future Grid Cluster Project 3 report provides the deployment of key modelling results and the identification of strategic priorities for stakeholders. The purpose of the University of Queensland’s project has been to create “Economic and Investment Models for the Future Grid”...

The paper examines the demand for narcotic drugs, based on Becker (1968), as purported rational behavior of human beings. The results from sampling surveys in eight provinces in Thailand in 2014, representing nationwide drug users/addicts, show that the demand for narcotics (amphetamines, ice...

The paper reveals the economic essence and basic principles of the formation and development of the regional market of production services in the agroindustrial complex: market analysis; Formation and functioning of its infrastructure; Dynamics of effective demand; Segmentation and competitive...

In this paper the efficient allocation of natural recreational areasis analysed. Natural recreational areas have the features of publicgoods. We present the efficient allocation of this non-excludablepublic good in a rational general equilibrium model withheterogeneous agents. This allows us to...

This paper analyses the effect of uncertainty on investment spending. We analyse twotypes of investment, i.e. aggregate investment and investment in energy saving technologies,using subjective evaluations of expectations and uncertainty of Dutch firms in 1997. Weestimate several models...
