This study describes the development of kinetic models for platinum-ceria-zirconia (Pt/CexZr1−xO2)-catalysed diesel particle filter (DPF) regeneration. Such models have a practical purpose in that they can be used to calculate source terms in 3D flow models, and they also have an intrinsic interest for the understanding of the mechanisms of catalysed soot oxidation. The core of this kinetic ana...

Public Policy Conclusions from Urban Growth Models LEO

This paper is intended to be a case study in the use of simulation models to test public policy alternatives. Suggested programs for dealing with urban poverty are tested with the aid of different models which describe the linked growth of housing, population, and industry in an urbanized area. The tested programs are: 1) training, to provide the unskilled with job skills; 2) job provision, to ...
