Th e article investigates the consequences of credit constraints on rural household consumption in China. Based on a unique rural fi nance and consumption survey, the authors fi rst identify the credit constraint status of rural households from formal fi nancial institutions. Th en, they apply an endogenous switching regression model to compare the consumption responses to household production ...

In this paper a nonlinear smoothing algorithm recently proposed by Tukey is described and evaluated for speech processing applications. Simple linear smoothing routines generally fail to provide adequate smoothing for data which exhibit both local roughness and sharp discontinuities. The proposed nonlinear smoothing algorithm can effectively smooth such data by using a combination of median smo...

Green hydrogen is likely to play an important role in meeting the net-zero targets of countries around globe. One potential option for green production run electrolysers directly from offshore wind turbines, with no grid connection and hence expensive cabling shore. In this work, innovative proof concept a farm control methodology designed reduce variability active power output presented. Smoot...

Mesh smoothing (or r-refinement) are used in computer aided design, interpolation, numerical solution of partial differential equations, etc. We derive a new smoothing called parallelogram smoothing. The new smoothing tries to fit a given domain by the parallelograms. We present several numerical examples and compare our results against the traditional Laplacian smoothing. Presented numerical w...
