The growth diagnostic approach crafted by Hausmann, Rodrik and Velasco (2005) provides a framework for formulating hypotheses on what may be constraining country’s growth. In this context, paper aims at highlighting the methodology of such an with application to Algeria. Our findings show that low private returns economic activities due micro risks (high taxes, weak contract enforcement & p...

Evidence for cometary activity beyond Jupiter and Saturn's orbits -- such as that observed Centaurs long period comets suggests the thermal processing of comet nuclei starts before they enter inner Solar System, where are typically monitored. Such observations raise questions to depth unprocessed material, whether JFCs can be representative any primitive material. Here we model coupled dynamica...

emission trading is one of the famous mechanisms under kyoto protocol to control environmental pollution. the aim of this paper is to design a strategic supply chain network under emission trading scheme with inclusion of stochastic parameters and budget limitation. demand and price of carbon credits are considered as the important stochastic parameters influencing the supply chain network. in ...

semilinear stochastic evolution equations with multiplicative l'evy noise are considered‎. ‎the drift term is assumed to be monotone nonlinear and with linear growth‎. ‎unlike other similar works‎, ‎we do not impose coercivity conditions on coefficients‎. ‎we establish the continuous dependence of the mild solution with respect to initial conditions and also on coefficients. ‎as corollarie...

This paper analyses the behavior of a hardware implementation of Genetic Programming using Field Programmable Gate Arrays. Three crossover operators that limit the lengths of programs are analyzed. A truncating operator, a limiting operator that constrains the lengths of both offspring and a limiting operator that only constrains the length of one offspring. The latter has some interesting prop...

We developed a virtual laboratory for traffic control where agents use different strategies in order to self-organize on the road. We present our first results where we compare the performance and behaviour promoted by environmental constrains and five different simple strategies: three inspired in flocking behaviour, one selfish, and one inspired in the minority game. Experiments are presented...
