It presents an occupational choice model where human and financial capital can be jointly invested in a private busines...

In order to make use of the block with multiple largest-valued (or smallest-valued) pixels, a PVO-K method was proposed, which treats K largest-valued (or smallest-valued) ...

In a previous paper the CSCR domain was defined. Here this is taken to the next stage where we consider the design of a particular Collaborative Research Environment to support Students and Supervisors CRESS. Following the CSCR structure a preliminary design for CRESS has been established and a portal framework analysis is undertaken in order to determine the most appropriate set of tools for i...
