An advantageous proposition

Spread of an Advantageous Gene

We wish to model the spread of genetic innovation through a spatially structured population. As genetic models are naturally specified in terms of the interactions of individuals, we begin by constructing a discrete-site particle model with migration and Moran-like reproduction interactions between pairs of particles within each site. For many purposes, such a discrete model is intractable, so ...

Direct Reduced Iron an Advantageous Charge Material for Induction Furnaces

Industrial and experimental induction furnaces are used for melting various types of iron ingots, returned scraps and DRI sponge pellets to produce high purity cast - iron and steel heats. The lowest consumption of electrical energy determined for continuous feeding operation is 0.3 KWH/Kg for the production of cast - iron in a 1.5 - ton industrial furnace and 0.45 KWH/Kg for the production of ...

Proposition 13 : An Equilibrium Analysis ∗

In 1978, California passed one of the most significant tax changes initiated by voters in the United States. Proposition 13 lowered property tax rates and restricted future property tax increases. In this paper, we study the implications of Proposition 13 on house prices, housing turnover, and household welfare. In our benchmark calibration, the introduction of Proposition 13 leads to a 25% inc...

Proposition of an Unexploited Multiple Access Technique

Continual growth in number of telecommunication network users encourages engineers to bring solutions to avoid overload and conflict. The situation is remedied by multiple access techniques and protocols. In fact, several ideas were applied with success to overcome difficulties. Basically, these ideas are based on discrimination in time, frequency, space and modulating code or time management. ...
