Using state-level variation over time in the top deciles of the income distribution, we observe that nonrich households consume a larger share of their current income when exposed to higher top income levels. We argue that permanent income, wealth effects, or upward local price pressures cannot be the sole explanation for this finding. Instead, we show that the budget shares non-rich households...

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) have been touted as a transportation technology with lower fuel costs and emissions impacts than other vehicle types. Most analyses of PHEVs assume that the power system operator can either directly or indirectly control PHEV charging to coordinate it with power system operations. This paper examines the incentives of individual drivers making charging d...

Abstract The systems of trickle irrigation offer the potential influential to increase crop yields and have been proven reasonable according engineering agricultural opinion particularly in barren areas. Trickle that offered comparatively lately Arab countries demonstrated save huge amounts water enhance yield. computational program (Trickle Irrigation System Design, TISD) connected with econom...

A data warehouse typically is a collection of historical data designed for decision support, so it is updated from the sources periodically, mostly on a daily basis. Today’s business however asks for fresher data. Real-time warehousing is one of the trends to accomplish this, but there are a number of challenges to move towards true real-time. This paper proposes ‘Multi-stage Trickle & flip’ me...

As the pipeline of new antibiotics slows to a trickle, scientists are developing innovative strategies to unearth antibacterial compounds in unexpected places.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that allows machines to communicate with each other without the need for human interaction. Usually, IoT devices are connected via network. A wide range network technologies required make concept operate successfully; as result, protocols at various layers used. One most extensively used layer routing Routing Protocol Low Power and Lossy Networks (RP...

Energy poverty at the household level is a serious hindrance to economic and social development, especially in off-grid, remote villages in the developing world. Some initiatives have sought to provide these households with resources such as renewable generation units and electric batteries to enable access to electricity. At present, these resources are operated in isolation, fulfilling indivi...
