The paper analyzes nonlinear optimal control of integral–differential equations that describe the optimal management of a forest taking into account intra-species competition and carbon sequestration. The objective function includes the revenues from timber production, operational expenses, and the net benefits from carbon sequestration. A dual system is derived and a necessary extremum conditi...

The paper discusses how current in ‡ation targeting should be modeled, and argues that it is better represented as a commitment to a targeting rule (a rule specifying operational objectives for monetary policy or a condition for the target variables), than as a commitment to a simple instrument rule (like a Taylor rule).

this paper describes a contra-rotating propeller (crp) system to calculate the hydrodynamic characteristics and then design the optimum operational condition to be installed on two different large bulk carriers and vlcc. the method is based on boundary element method (bem) to obtain the hydrodynamic performance of any complicated configuration such as crp system, and then the optimum propeller ...

In this chapter we reflect on a relatively small but influential example of adaptive management which seeks to enhance the environmental benefits of the flow regime in the highly regulated Mitta Mitta River in Australia’s MurrayDarling Basin. In 1999 an operational review recommended the reintroduction of greater in-stream flow variability in the Mitta Mitta River in an attempt to improve river...

This paper provides a unifying axiomatic account of the interpretation of recursive types that incorporates both domain-theoretic and realizability models as concrete instances. Our approach is to view such models as full subcategories of categorical models of intuitionistic set theory. It is shown that the existence of solutions to recursive domain equations depends upon the strength of the se...

background: the brown-banded cockroach, supella longipalpa , is not as common as the german cockroach in iran. this species seeks out areas that are very warm most of the time, and prefer warmer area than what german cock­roaches pre­fer. there is relationship between development of instars and diet of cockroaches. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of different diets on biology,...

The filtration of aerosol particles using composites of nano- and microsized fibrous structures is a promising method for the effective separation of nanoparticles from gases. A multi-scale physical system describing the flow pattern and particle deposition at a non-steady-state condition requires an advanced method of modelling. The combination of lattice Boltzmann and Brownian dynamics was us...
