Numerical economic models of energy fall into two general categories: models analyzing within energy sector issues and models examining the interaction between the energy sector and the rest of the economy. The first category are mostly partial equilibrium models with a very detailed and disaggregated representation of the energy sector. Although very useful for sector planning purposes this cl...

Iran as a rapidly developing country, whose economy is enriched by oil and gas exports, has to integrate Green Economy concept into its energy sector. In order to integrate environmental concerns into energy sector, an Energy-Environment Review (EER) was considered as the mainstreaming tool capable of examining the interface between energy and the environment. The results of the EER should be i...

The energy sector holds the key in accelerating the economic growth of India. To achieve Economic Growth, we need to and have to use more and more energy to increase the pace of development. On the consumption front, the industrial sector in India is a major energy user accounting for about 52 percent of commercial energy consumption. Electrical energy and thermal energy constitutes the major o...

 In accordance with the Iranian government intention toward two step forward elimination of energy subsidies policy in coming years, we focus in this study on the extent by which the corresponding raising costs will be distributed across the livestock sector and how they affected food security. For this purpose, scenario of increasing energy prices and improving productivity at vertical and hor...

introduction despite the abundant renewable energy sources, the iranian energy sector relies almost entirely on fossil fuel energy resources. power sector is dominant source of co2emissions and responsible for about 35% of total co2 emissions in the country. additionally, long-term electricity demand of iran is expected to grow quickly, which in turn requires extensive investment to meet the gr...

Hardness of the widely used structural steel is of vital importance since it may help in the determination of many mechanical properties of a material under loading situations. In order to obtain reliable information for design, properties homogeneity should be validated. In the current study the hardness variation over the different diameters of the same AISI 4140 bar is investigated. Measurem...

in this paper, the energy demand of transport sector from 1385 to 1400 is forecasted based on fuzzy linear regression (flr) approach considering economic and social indicators. in order to analyze the influence of economic and social indicators on energy demand of transport sector, gross domestic product (gdp), population and the total number of vehicles in 1372-1384 were regarded. in this rese...

The collection of papers in this special issue has primarily been drawn from the papers representing the ‘‘Corporate Governance and accountability in the Public Sector’’ stream of the Seventh International Critical Management Studies Conference (CMS 7), which was held at the University of Naples Federico II, Italy, in July 2011. The stream was inspired by international reforms focussed on the m...
