Environmentally extended input-output (EEIO) databases are increasingly used to examine environmental footprints of economic activities. Studies focusing on China have independently, repeatedly developed EEIO databases for China. These databases are usually not publicly available, leading to repeated efforts, inconsistent with one another using different approaches, of limited environmental acc...

This article presents a comparison of the effects of inputoutput location (co-located versus discrete) on user performance in a tangible user interface (TUI) system. We conducted a mobile eye-tracking study with two different versions of a TUI system and, despite similar performances in both conditions, our findings revealed differences in the users gaze patterns, shedding new light on the unde...

Abstract: This paper considers a stabilizing reduced order model predictive control for constrained linear discrete-time systems. By employing a system decomposition on the inputoutput function space, a reduced order model predictive control law, which guarantees closedloop stability and feasibility, is obtained from a low dimensional on-line optimization problem. Numerical examples are provide...

We solve the suboptimal Nehari problem for a transfer function that has a state-space realization as a system-stable (input, output and inputoutput stable) well-posed linear system. We obtain an explicit solution in terms of the state-space parameters.

We propose and prove an extended sampling theorem for linear time-varying systems. As a result, we establish a discrete-time equivalent model of the inputoutput relation of the system for the case of bandlimited inputs and bandlimited system variation. The sampling of the output signal and an equivalent discretetime model of the system are discussed.

We provide a new global small-gain theorem for feedback interconnections of monotone inputoutput systems with multi-valued input-state characteristics. This extends a recent small-gain theorem of Angeli and Sontag for monotone systems with singleton-valued characteristics. We prove our theorem using Thieme’s convergence theory for asymptotically autonomous systems. An illustrative example is al...

This paper describes a new idea how to use InputOutput Hidden Markov Models (IOHMMs) for the aggregation of performance models and reports about corresponding first experiments. The parameters of the IOHMM are calculated from observation sequences obtained from the input/output behaviour of the original model.

in the light of the 2008 world development report, this paper revisits the impact of agriculture on overall economic growth, in the case of an oil producing country, using indices of intersectoral linkages. to this end, four input-output tables of iran’s economy are utilized. the results support the importance of the agricultural sector in stimulating the economic growth of iran, but also s...

This study presents the methodology and results of a transition risk climate stress test carried out for credit institutions, focusing on sectoral module developed analysis. Using network derived from an inputoutput table, distributes price shock between activities with higher greenhouse gas emission intensity related sectors. Results suggest that sectors largest exposure to are electricity sup...

We consider second order infinite-dimensional systems with force con­ trol and collocated position measurement interconnected with finite-dimensional controllers of the same type. We show that under assumptions that gener­ alize those in the finite-dimensional case (the theory of negative imaginary systems), asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system can be concluded, but that the closed-lo...
