Modeling of Macroeconomics by a Novel Discrete Nonlinear Fractional Dynamical System by Zhenhua Hu, Wen Chen

“…Based on the concrete macroeconomic data of USA, the coefficients of this nonlinear system are estimated by the method of least squares. The application of discrete fractional economic model with linear and nonlinear structure is shown to illustrate the efficiency of modeling the macroeconomic data with discrete fractional dynamical system. …”

Pourquoi aider les pays en développement ? Conceptions de la justice dans l’aide à l’adaptation au changement climatique by Romain Weikmans, Edwin Zaccai

“…We examine manifestations of these dimensions in the mandates of dedicated multilateral climate funds and in the assumptions made in the cost estimates of adaptation for developing countries. We show that most actors seem to be mainly driven by their material interests when it comes to referring to the moral justifications of their positions on international adaptation finance.…”

Economic Feasibility of Anaerobic Digestion To Produce Electricity on Florida Dairy Farms by Russ Giesy, Ann C. Wilkie, Albert De Vries, Roger A. Nordstedt

“…The consultants visited three dairy farms located in Florida in the winter of 2005, calculated wastewater flows (including flushed manure, milking parlor wastewater, and recycled flush water), and determined the size and other necessary aspects of the potential systems specific to each dairy farm. Estimates were developed for the quantities of biogas and electricity that would be generated by each system. …”

NONLINEAR OVERVOLTAGE LIMITER APPLICATION FOR INTERNAL OVER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION IN AVERAGE VOLTAGE NETWORKS by A. N. Bokhan, V. V. Krotenok

“…One of the most efficient remedy for reduction of over-voltage at arcing ground is resistive neutral grounding. In order to estimate an influence of a nonlinear over-voltage limiter (NOL) on over-voltage reduction at ground an experimental research of varistor characteristics with 2,4 and 3,8 kHz frequencies has been carried out.Parameters of the NOL dynamic model have been determined. …”
