This paper depicts the use of computers in the urban studies, and provides a digital way of understanding historical buildings and the relations with the city. ADiscovery of Historical TainanB is a joint project among historians and Ž . computer-aided design CAD researchers to preserve historical evidences of the central city of Tainan by using computer visual simulation. The importance of hist...

We extend an established simulation-based method to test for significant short-duration (1-2 centuries) demographic events known from one documented historical and one oral historical context. Case study 1 extrapolates population data from the Western historical tradition using historically derived demographic data from the catastrophic European Black Death/bubonic plague (Yersinia pestis). We ...

four different alkaline earth metal oxides i.e. mgo, cao, sro and bao were used as heterogeneous catalysts for biodiesel production from palm oil. effects of critical process variables i.e. reaction time, methanol to oil ratio and temperature were investigated. the results were then fitted to a historical design to study the analysis of variance (anova), to characterize interactions between var...

During the past half-century simulation has advanced as a tool of choice for operational systems analysis. The advances in technology have stimulated new products and new environments without software standards or methodological commonality. Each new simulation language or product offers its own unique set of features and capabilities. Yet these simulation products are the evolution of research...

The basis of this research project is the computer simulation of the emergence of ethnicity and cultural differentiation in prehistoric hunter-gatherer groups. Instead of working directly on a universal theoretical model, we have preferred a predictive simulation of a historical case (ancient Patagonia) where the knowledge about the simulated social system is available at the necessary level of...

This paper introduces the idea of a non-kinship-based Universal-family firm, an organizational form we developed based on interpreting historical writings in their socio-economic context. We analyzed Luke’s gospel with an eye toward drawing implications for the stewardship-agency debate in the contemporary family business literature. Our paper makes contributions at two important levels. In add...

For quantitative determination of lignin, we have invasive (gravimetric determination i. e. ASTM, TAPPI, SCAN) and non-invasive methods on our disposal. Invasive methods are not suitable for historical documents. On the other hand, several spectroscopic techniques are in use, based on IR and UV spectroscopy. The absorption of light of λ > 300 310 nm by pure cellulose is minimal and most UVspect...
