A method has been developed for measuring proŽ les of aerosol mass on thin (480 1g/cm2) Apiezon-L coatedMylar Ž lms employed in rotating drum aerosol impactor samplers using the ion beam analysis technique scanning transmission ion microscopy (STIM). The greased Mylar Ž lms are excellent impaction substrates and possess excellent uniformity in projected density, making them an ideal substrate f...

Bangladesh Post Office introduced the Electronic Money Transfer System (EMTS), a mobile payment support service similar to Kenya’s M-PESA, to helps citizens send money orders quickly and safely. EMTS data show dramatic increase in electronic money order issuance, amount remitted, and amount of commission that outnumbered corresponding figures of ordinary money orders. Also EMTS shortened the av...

Many algorithms for multiobjective optimization have been proposed in the last years. In the recent past a great importance have the MOEAs able to solve problems with more than two objectives and with a large number of decision vectors (space dimensions). The difficulties occur when problems with more than three objectives (higher dimensional problems) are considered. In this paper, a new algor...

Resum: L’objectiu d’aquest article és pensar la figura de Vicent Manuel Branchat, mossén i autor d’obres d’inicis del segle xix. Així, repassem els estudis previs que investigadors especialistes li han dedicat, tot just, partint l’edició Pesa chiqueta en un acte, editada per Joan Fuster publicada La decadència al País Valencià. A més, pensem Branchat com a anterior Renaixença tal situar-lo dins...

Wind farm layout optimisation has become a very challenging and widespread problem in recent years. In many publications, the main goal is to achieve maximum power output minimum wind cost. This may be accomplished by applying single or multi-objective techniques. this paper, we apply objective hill-climbing algorithm (HCA) three evolutionary algorithms (NSGA-II, SPEA2 PESA-II) well-known bench...

Mobile money, a service that allows monetary value to be stored on a mobile phone and sent to other users via text messages, has been adopted by the vast majority of Kenyan households. We estimate that access to the Kenyan mobile money system M-PESA increased per capita consumption levels and lifted 194,000 households, or 2% of Kenyan households, out of poverty. The impacts, which are more pron...

This article shows the impact of the growing adoption of mobile phones in the field of money transfer in Africa but also their uses in the field of retail payments or micropayments that is financial transaction from person to person (P2P) for small amounts. We show how these innovations will continue to improve the quality of life of Africans especially those in rural areas. We present M-Pesa a...
