In recent years, new remote-sensed technologies, such as airborne and terrestrial laser scanner, have improved the detail and the quality of topographic information, providing topographical high-resolution and high-quality data over larger areas better than other technologies. A new generation...

The paper reports on the prediction of flow in a reach of the Sacramento River with focus on a part of the river’s bank where serious erosion has occurred. The simulations were obtained using a three-dimensional Navier–Stokes solver which utilized body-fitted coordinates to represent the...

This paper treats about the problem of nitrogen oxides formation in the process of natural gas combustion. The analysis of the influence of selected combustion parameters on the concentration of NO, N2O and NO2 in the combustion products was done. From many factors determining NOx formation two...

We study theoretically and numerically the effects of an environmental tax reform using endogenous growth theory. In the theoretical part, mobile labor between manufacturing and R&D activities, and elasticity of substitution between labor and energy in manufacturing lower than unity allow for a...

The income that wind and solar power receive on the market is affected by the variability of their output. At times of high availability of the primary energy source, they supply electricity at zero marginal costs, shift the supply curve (merit-order curve) to the right and thereby reduce the...
