Abstract:

In the past decade, the literature on regional innovation systems (RIS) has considerably enhanced our understanding of the critical role played by geographical proximity and local institutional conditions for the production of new knowledge and its economic exploitation. Regional innovation systems have been investigated for different types of regions, including high- tech centres, old industrial zones, and peripheral areas. In most cases, however, both theoretical and empirical work has focussed on RIS situated within a national context. Little research has been done so far on cross-border RI

Abstract:

A troca e o comércio estão associados na sua origem ao próprio conceito de cidade, a partir de uma relação mútua, de atividades que definem e são definidas pelos locais onde acontecem. A troca, a compra e venda de produtos, assim como o fluxo de pessoas, entre diferentes centros urbanos, tende a influenciar o crescimento das cidades. A cidade então não pode ser entendida como isolada do seu entorno, e o seu estudo passa, portanto, pelo entendimento das suas relações regionais. A presente pesquisa propõe o desenvolvimento de uma metodologia para identificação e avaliação da hierarquia regional

Abstract:

In this work, hybrid systems with regional dynamics are considered. These are systems where transitions between different dynamical regimes occur as the continuous state of the system reaches given switching surfaces. In particular, the attention is focused on the optimal control problem associated with such systems. More precisely, given a specific cost function, the goal is to determine the optimal path of going from a given starting point to a fixed final state during an a priori specified time horizon. The key characteristic of the approach presented in this thesis is a hierarchi

Abstract:

There has been almost fifteen years of political controversy surrounding changes to the rules and procedures by which aircraft conduct their flight within regional Australia. Decisions based on a predominately heuristic (rule of thumb) approach to design have had many adverse consequences for the integrity of the proximity warning function. A sound mathematical model is required to establish this function on a mature engineering foundation. To achieve this, the proximity warning function has been investigated as a hybrid-system. This approach recognises the dual nature of the design: that airc

In the face of these challenges, Africa today is faced with a stark choice: either unite or perish. The debate on why and how the continent should unite in terms of co-operative peace, security and development is more urgent than at any other time in Africa's post-colonial history.

With the rapid growth of American metropolitan areas, it is essential to plan for the preservation of open space before development occurs on lands which would better be left undeveloped. Although there is a long tradition of parks and open space planning in American cities, planning efforts over the past twenty-five years (since 1960) have not been systematically reviewed and there remains no set standard to guide the planning of regional-scale open space. Two foundations of open space planning are examined: its roles in guiding urban form, and in preserving natural processes in the city. Six

This is an interesting area to consider because it questions the idea that regional innovation systems need institutional support to survive. Instead, it suggests that firms can collaborat

Journal indexing systems (JIS) are bibliographic databases that are used to search for scientific literature and for bibliometric analyses. This thesis addresses the emergence and growth of regional JIS, focusing on the Scientific Library Online (Scielo) and the Red de Revistas Científicas de América Latina, el Caribe, España, y Portugal (RedALyC) in a challenging environment in which the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus prevail. WoS and Scopus are referred to as mainstream JIS and Scielo and RedALyC as alternative JIS. The research questions are: (1) Why did alternative JIS emerge in light of

Abstract:

In recent years, there has been a growing shift in the world towards sustainability. For civil aviation, this is reflected in the goals of several organizations including NASA and ACARE as significantly increased fuel efficiency along with reduced harmful emissions in the atmosphere. Achieving the goals necessitates the advent of novel and radical aircraft technologies, NASA's X-57, is one such concept using distributed electric propulsion (DEP) technology. Although practical implementation of DEP is achievable due to the scale invariance of highly efficient electric motors, the current batt

Bibliography: pages 167-170.<br>The purpose of this thesis was to develop a near real time photogrammetric PC based system to study the regional body surface motions of human beings during respiration. By being able to measure the body surface motion of the human torso during breathing it is possible to evaluate the respiratory muscle functions, i.e. the functions of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, the only skeletal muscles that are essential to life and which enable us to breathe. Previous studies in this field over the past years have successfully employed stereophotogrammetric analys

Abstract:

The published work in this thesis is based on a number of studies that utilise a suite of (related) “best practice” benchmarking tools, providing an evaluation of the North East England’s manufacturing and service sectors and the UK Further Education sector. Within this submission, a supporting commentary in the form of a critical literature review is provided. The complementary review initially provides an introduction and background to the studies that as a whole comprise this PhD by publication. Consideration is then given to the literature specific to benchmarking, particularly in terms of

Abstract:

För att minska de globala utsläppen och klara klimatmålen i Parisavtalet måste fossil elproduktion fasas ut och ersättas av förnybar energi. Förnybara energikällor, exempelvis vindkraft, har ökat kraftigt de senaste åren. Detta introducerar nya utmaningar då elproduktionen inte alltid stämmer överens med elbehovet eftersom förnybara energikällor inte kan kontrolleras på samma sätt som de fossila; vindkraftverken kan inte producera el utan vind. Detta får konsekvensen att elnätets stabilitet och elens kvalité blir sämre, samt att elpriset varierar kraftigare. Problemet kan lösas genom att köpa
