Abstract:

The thesis is aimed at the empirical investigation of the role of intangible assets, in particular human and social capital, as relevant determinants of local economic performances. Traditional theories of economic growth, focusing on the role of physical capital as fundamental engine of economic growth, have failed to explain much of the differences in the level of income and development among regions and countries. The direct consequence of this evidence was the increasing effort in identifying alternative mechanisms and determinants. In line with this trend the role of intangible assets a

Abstract:

Energy management has been an important function of organisations since the oil crisis of the mid 1970’s led to hugely increased costs of energy. Although the financial costs of energy are still important, the growing recognition of the environmental costs of fossil-fuel energy is becoming more important. Legislation is also a key driver. The UK has set an ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction target of 80% of 1990 levels by 2050 in response to a strong international commitment to reduce GHG emissions globally.

Adaptive filters are frequently employed in many applications, such as, system identification, adaptive echo cancellation (AEC), active noise control (ANC), adaptive beamforming, speech signal processing and other related problems, in which the statistic of the underlying signals is either unknown a priori, or slowly-varying. Given the observed signals under study, we shall consider, in this dissertation, the time-varying linear model with Gaussian or contaminated Gaussian (CG) noises. In particular, we focus on recursive local estimation and its applications in linear systems. We base our

Abstract:

Since the 1980s, New Public Management (NPM) has deeply influenced the public sector across the world, and thus measuring or managing performance has become a principal element of government reform. In terms of borrowing models and techniques from the private sector, performance measurement has been significantly extended into government, but differences between the two sectors have led to difficulties and criticism of this practice with a wide inconsistent variety of different theoretical explanations about it. In this context, this thesis investigates the effectiveness of performance measure

Due to these benefits organization are willing to move their data into the cloud and minimize their overhead. Organizations need to confirm that cloud can replace the traditional platform, software and hardware in an efficient way and provide robust performance.

博士<br>國立交通大學<br>資訊工程系<br>90<br>Wireless local loop (WLL) provides two-way communication services to stationary or near-stationary subscribers via air interface. Compared with the wireline local loop, WLL offers advantages such as ease of installation and deployment, and concentration of resources. Resource allocation is an important issue for WLL design and performance. According to radio coverage of base stations (i.e.,cell), this dissertation studies three types of WLL cell structures: a basic WLL, the WLL with cell overlay, and the WLL with cell overlap. In the basic WLL, there are non-over
