...algorithmic-based market manipulation in stock and power markets has considerably increased, and it is difficult to identify all such manipulation cases. This causes serious challenges for market regulators. This work highlights and lists various aspects of the monitoring of stock and power markets, using as test cases...
...research on power lines and wildlife from the Norwegian Research Council (NFR) through the RENERGI Programme. The project is named “Optimal design and routing of power lines; ecological, technical and eco-nomic perspectives” (OPTIPOL). It is scheduled for 5 years (2009-1013) and is part of the ac-tivities...
... wheat, and rape straw, was studied at various temperatures: 200, 225, 250, 275, and 300 °C. The thermal stability and formation of the decomposition products of the untreated and treated samples were measured by the thermogravimetry/mass spectrometry method. The degree of hemicellulose and cellulose...
In thermal systems for transportation and power generation turbulence and combustion are ubiquitous and very often inextricably coupled processes, down to the smallest scales of continuum mechanics in non-linear fashion. Conventional approaches to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), traditionally based...
Constructing and executing distributed applications that can adapt to their current operating context, in order to maintain or enhance Quality of Service (QoS) attribute levels, are complex tasks. Managing multiple, interacting QoS features is particularly difficult since these features tend to be distributed...
...meter long 4" pipe at system pressures of 20, 45 and 70 bara. One of the main objectives of the campaign was to identify regions with multiple solutions, where two flow regimes can coexist in the pipe for extended time periods: one with a high holdup and one with a very low holdup. This is a critical matter...
...properties, type of coke and po-larization. Pilot anodes were fabricated from single source cokes; one anisotropic coke low in impurities, and one isotropic coke with significantly higher im-purity levels. Electrochemical characterisation in-cluded chronopotentiometry, cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy...
Vehicle routing is a central task in a large number of private and public corporations (see, e.g., Golden, Raghavan, and Wasil [30]). Tours have to be planned in very diverse sectors of the economy, not only in the logistics and transport business but in virtually all industrial sectors producing physical...
...recycling aluminium is its oxidation and consequent metal loss. This is especially critical for the thin sheet/foil materials used for food packaging applications. Compacting the scrap into briquettes may partly reduce such losses in addition to facilitate transport and storage. Shredded aluminium materials ...
...deals with the effects of hidden, dynamic and emerging threats and vulnerabilities of society, and the possible handling of this. Empirical case studies aim to enhance the framework by testing its approaches on specific areas. Active feedback, verification, and ownership among stakeholders are valuable...
