DEVELOPMENT OF SPATIAL ECONOMIC SYSTEMS: EVOLUTIONARY APPROACH

Spatial Clustering Of NGOs: An Evolutionary Economic Geography Approach

Strong patterns of concentration characterize the location decisions of development NGOs. Since current theories on non-profit location choice tend to neglect such tendencies, this article develops an evolutionary economic geography approach to non-profit organizations. It focuses on increasing returns to scale, labor mobility and path dependence and contextualizes those factors. A survey invol...

The Backbone Approach to Evolutionary Systems Development

While the introduction of the waterfall lifecycle model was a vast improvement over ad hoc process, there are inherent deficiencies in the waterfall model that have led to variants on the theme, including incremental, spiral, and evolutionary models. This paper addresses the planned evolution of large-scale systems from the design and build of smaller components based on an incomplete, yet end-...

Economic Dispatch Employing Evolutionary Approach

The objective of Multi-area economic dispatch (MAED) is to determine the generation levels and the interchange power between areas that minimize fuel costs, while satisfying power balance and generating limit and transmission constraints. If an area with excess power is not adjacent to a power deficient area, or the tie-line between the two areas is at transmission limit, it is necessary to fin...

The Evolutionary Development of Echocardiography

Echocardiography is a non-invasive diagnostic technique which provides information on cardiac morphology, function, and hemodynamics. It is the most frequently used cardiovascular diagnostic test only after electrocardiography. In less than five decades, the evolution in this technique has made it the basic part of cardiovascular medicine. Herein, the evolution of various forms of echocardiogra...
