Natural gas has become more and more important in the world energy market with the change of energy consumption structure and consumption subjects. This paper applies the panel smooth transition regression (PSTR) model to study the nonlinear relationship between natural gas consumption and economic variables of emerging economies, and the empirical results show that: (1) There is a non-linear r...

Abstract In 1939 an earthquake destroyed south-central Chile, especially the city of Chillán. This event was arguably most catastrophic socio-natural disaster in Chilean history, yet it has been mostly ignored historical research. article shows that triggered a critical juncture for state and determining factor some important institutional developments period. Using primary sources, describes t...

During the 25 years of existence of the first protocol for Quantum Key Distribution, much has been said and expected of what came to be termed as Quantum Cryptography. After all this time, much progress has been done but also the reality check and analysis that naturally comes with maturity is underway. A new panorama is emerging, and the way in which the challenges imposed by market requiremen...

ATL is a standard solution for model to model transformation. Its implementation is OpenSource and hosted by Eclipse. In 2008, development and maintenance were handed over from INRIA to OBEO, in the ATL Industrialization project context. This paper is about how industrial actors and researchers collaborate in a project like ATL, what ATL 3.1 brings to the user and what will be done in the future.

This paper assesses the relationship among energy consumption, financial development, economic growth, industrialization and urbanization in Tunisia from 1971-2008. The autoregressive distributed lag bounds testing approach to cointegration and Granger causality tests are employed for the analysis. The result confirms the existence of long-run relationship between energy consumption, economic g...

Today we are in a technologically explosive information society. The cross- border integration of manufacturing and construction is prefabricated buildings. cross-border IT BIM technology, the emergence technology provides new ideas for building, building realizes industrialization. This paper studies application buildings, including design phase, assembly operation maintenance analysis related...

Integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) is a new approach to the design and development of materials, manufacturing processes and products. The approach proposes using a combination of modeling and simulation, data driven reasoning and knowledge guided decision making to a) speed up the development of new materials and manufacturing processes, and b) enhance the quality and time-t...

Reworks and delays in production processes are commonly found construction projects associated with a low level of industrialization lack design constructability. To promote industrialization, improve project constructability, reduce the execution time, we implemented Virtual Design Construction (VDC) methodology. An strategy was established using prefabricated reinforcement cages system (PRC) ...
