For many years, various methods for the identification and estimation of parameters in linear, discrete-time transfer functions have been available and implemented in widely available Toolboxes for Matlab. This paper considers a unified Refined Instrumental Variable (RIV) approach to the estimation of discrete and continuous-time transfer functions characterized by a unified operator that can b...

a new mathematical model for identifying pollution sources in aquifers is presented. the model utilizes lagrange constrained optimization method (lcom) and is capable to inversely solve unsteady fluid flow in saturated, heterogeneous, anisotropic confined and/or unconfined aquifers. throughout the presented model, complete advection-dispersion equation, including the adsorption as well as retar...

By developing a Ricardian trade model that features technology transfer via foreign direct investment (FDI), we show that technology transfer via multinational enterprises (MNEs) increases world output and trade in goods and services. When there are many goods a continuous reduction in the cost of technology transfer will cause increasingly more technologically advanced goods to go through the ...

The tensor analyzing power T20 and the polarization transfer coefficients κ0(= 3 2 K y ) and K xz are investigated for dp backward elastic scattering by the invariant-amplitude method. Discrepancies between the conventional calculations and the experimental data on T20 and κ0 at high and intermediate energies are mostly dissolved by including imaginary parts in the amplitudes. The quantity K xz...
