In this paper, we study the stability of equilibrium for a foreign trade model consisting of three countries. As the gravity equation has been proven an excellent tool of analysis and adequately stable over time and space all over the world, we further enhance the problem to three masses. We use the basic Structure of Heckscher–Ohlin–Samuelson model. The national income equals consumption outla...

Accurate prediction of soil moisture in a land surface model (LSM) is critical in improving land surface and atmosphere interactions in the atmospheric general circulation models used in numerical weather prediction and global climate models. Gravity is a relatively new source of remotely sensed data, available since the launch of the twin Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) satelli...

The gravity model has been extensively used in international trade research for the last 40 years because of its considerable empirical robustness and explanatory power. Since their introduction in the 1960’s, gravity models have been used for assessing trade policy implications and, particularly recently, for analyzing the effects of Free Trade Agreements on international trade. The objective ...

Three experiments modeled after infant studies were run on four great ape species (Gorilla gorilla, Pongo pygmaeus, Pan troglodytes, Pan paniscus) to investigate their reasoning about solidity and gravity constraints. The aims were: (a) to find out if great apes are subject to gravity biased search or display sensitivity for object solidity, (b) to check for species differences, and (c) to asse...

in this paper the inversion of gravity data using l1–norm stabilizer is considered. the inversion is an important step in the interpretation of data. in gravity data inversion, the goal is to estimate density and geometry of the unknown subsurface model from a set of known observation measured on the surface. commonly, rectangular prisms are used to model the subsurface under the survey area. t...

a new method derived by salem et al. (2004) for interpretation of gravity and magnetic anomalies is used to determine the depth and shape factor of the gravity anomalies. the depth and shape factor of some rectangular prisms as synthetic models are estimated using the method. the gravity effects of the models are contaminated with some random noise and then the parameters of the models are extr...

in gravity interpretation, inversion algorithms have been used widely over the years, but as the potential follows the gauss theorem, there are many equivalent source distributions that can produce the same known field. so to obtain a unique solution, suitable constraints should be introduced to the algorithm. during the last decades many authors have used several approaches to introduce a prio...

We compare new marine gravity fields derived from satellite altimetry with shipboard measurements over a region of more than 120,000 square kilometers in the central South Atlantic. Newly declassified satellite data were employed to construct free-air anomaly maps on 0.05 degree grids [Sandwell and Smith, 1992; Marks et al., 1993]. An extensive gravity and bathymetry dataset from four cruises a...
