BACKGROUND With rapid economic development and industrialization, the construction industry continues to rank among the most hazardous industries in the world. Therefore, construction safety is always a significant concern for both practitioners and researchers. The objective of this study was to create a structural modeling of components that influence the safety performance in construction pr...

The paper discusses the possibility of constructing economic models using the methodology of model construction in classical mechanics. At the same time, unlike the “econophysical” approach, the properties of economic models are derived without involvement of any equivalent physical properties, but with account of the types of symmetry existing in the economic system. It has been shown that at ...

Clinical trials evaluating medicines, medical devices, and procedures now commonly assess the economic value of these interventions. The growing number of prospective clinical/economic trials reflects both widespread interest in economic information for new technologies and the regulatory and reimbursement requirements of many countries that now consider evidence of economic value along with cl...

This paper investigates the institutional reason underlying the change in the trajectory of economic growth in post-reform China, and argues that the trajectory of growth was much more normal during the period of 1978-89 than in the post-1989 era. In the former period, growth was largely induced by equality-generating institutional change in agriculture and the emergence of non-state industrial...

Extracting complex block structures from an anonymous mathematical program is a difficult task. It is however a mandatory step to exploit them with adequate algorithmic techniques. Moreover, most economic models are usually built with an Algebraic Modeling Language (AML) which loose any structure. The recently developed concept SET (Structure Exploiting Tool) responds to these needs. This appro...

Abstract Templates travel because they offer a tractable format that can be used for model-building in variety of domains. It is often this quality particular template chosen. But one cannot assume there are always templates ready to model new phenomenon, and moreover, have also been designed at some point. A critical aspect designing process the choice mathematical objects with which hopes cap...
