Taiwan economy has always been export-oriented, creating tightly-linked industrial chains between cross-straits companies tightly. Understanding the influence of transforming industrial patterns of major economic entities would be critical for long-term cooperative small economic entities (countries or regions) in the periphery. The author of this paper has thus analyzed the influences and ...

Knowledge and IT inputs to other industrial production have become more important as a key factor for the competitiveness of national and regional economies, such as knowledge economies in smart cities. Knowledge and IT industries lead the industrial innovation and technical (r)evolution through low cost, high efficiency in production, and by creating a new value chain and new production path c...

(Draft Paper) This paper discusses an industrial application of a neural network based automatic scheme for fault detection and diagnosis. Faults in a lime kiln are isolated and detected, using two multilayer feedforward networks. One is used to model the industrial process according to its nonlinear structure. The fault detection method is based on the output prediction error between the real ...

DC-DC converters have been applied to industrial applications widely during the past few decades. With rapid development of technology, negative output (N/O) dc-dc converters play an important role in the industrial fields, such as regenerative braking system (RBS) of DC motors for hybrid electric vehicles, signal generator and data transmission interface, neutral point clamping power electroni...

Forecasting industrial production is essential for efficient planning by managers. Although there are many statistical and mathematical methods for prediction, the use of intelligent algorithms with desirable features has made significant progress in recent years. The current study compared the accuracy of the Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Adaptive Nero-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) app...

Whenever industrial plants consume power and heat there is a need to consider energy efficiency investment on a cogeneration (CHP) plant. We investigate economic incentives influencing the adoption of energy saving technology by industry, namely, CHP in UK and Dutch manufacturing sectors. Our analysis is based on an empirical model by the application of cross sectional time series econometric m...

This paper develops a two-regional growth model with amenity, capital accumulation and regional public goods with public goods and fiscal policies. The economy consists of two regions and each region consists of the industrial sector and public sector. The industrial sector provides goods in perfectly competitive markets. The public sector, which is financed by the regional government’s tax inc...
