Spherical crystallization of drugs is the process of obtaining larger particles by agglomeration during crystallization. The most common techniques used to obtain such particles are spherical agglomeration and quasi-emulsion solvent diffusion. Ammonia diffusion systems and crystallo-co-agglomeration are extensions of these techniques. By controlling process parameters during crystallization, su...

Accompanied by the deep development of big data technologies in urbanization, the smart city, which is supported by big data technologies, has revealed its potential gradually. As the core content of smart city, the smart information service becomes a frequent subject and direction of related researches. This paper will firstly investigate the information service demand of various groups of peo...

In this paper, we aim at exploring how individual location decisions affect the shape of a growing city and, more precisely, how they may add up to a configuration that diverges from equilibrium configurations formulated ex-ante. To do so, we provide a two-sector city model merging a static equilibrium analysis with agent-based simulations. Results show that under strong agglomeration effects, ...

Recent work suggests that Cournot oligopolists competing in a spatial model, with a uniform distribution of consumers, agglomerate in the center of the market. In this paper we analyze the robustness of this result with a general symmetric distribution of consumers and show that if the population density is "too thin" at the center of the market, then Cournot competition does not yield spatial ...

This paper considers the role of soft skills in cities and industry clusters. It begins by specifying a model of agglomeration economies where soft skills allow agents to interact more productively. The model exposes two conflicting forces: agglomeration allows opportunities to interact, but it also produces thick, specialized markets, and this specialization can be a substitute for interaction...

The integrated development of central Henan urban agglomeration is a significant strategy of economic and social development for Henan Provence. This paper summarized the thoughts and exerting point of integrated development of central Henan urban agglomeration, and analyzed the existing issues during the integrated development of central Henan urban agglomeration. For example, the integrated d...

Palm kernel shell is an important bioenergy resource in Thailand. However, due to elevated alkali content in biomass ash, this oil palm residue shows high tendency to bed agglomeration in a fluidized-bed combustion system using conventional bed material (silica sand). In this study, palm kernel shell was burned in the conical fluidized-bed combustor (FBC) using alumina and dolomite as alternati...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this paper is to identify the factors that determine the environmental domain of quality of life in economically active adults living in the industrial agglomeration in Poland. MATERIALS AND METHODS During the cross-sectional epidemiological study conducted among the economically active population aged 45-60, we used a short version of the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire. Resp...

Geographically concentrated industry activity creates pools of skilled labor and specialized suppliers, and increases opportunities for knowledge spillovers. The strategic value of these agglomeration economies may vary by firm, depending upon the relative value of each economy, and upon firm and agglomeration economy traits. To better determine when a firm will be attracted to agglomeration ec...

National identity is an important magnetic force that draws individuals and organizations to co-locate in the same geographic areas in foreign countries, thus providing a fertile socio-economic context for relationship formation and other social exchanges. Whether the focus is on individuals such as Chinese immigrants in Metropolitan cities (Zhou & Logan, 1989) or organizations such as Korean f...
