This paper attempts to understand the structure underlining the weakness of the Indonesian economic development strategy in a systemic perspective. The explanation assumes the importance of industrial technological capability within the framework of the techno-economic structure. The results of a simulated model of techno-economic administration show the weakness of the industrial technological...

Abstract—This paper presents a desktop study of comparing two different wave energy to electricity technologies (WECs) using a techno-economic approach. This techno-economic approach forms basis of a framework for rapid comparison of current and future technologies. The approach also seeks to assist in investment and strategic decision making expediting future deployment of wave energy harvesti...

We present a techno-economic analysis of services deployed over integrated satellite-terrestrial networks which employ an Information-Centric Networking (ICN) architecture. Our methodology provides a systematic procedure to assess the gains of various service integration scenarios, initially identifying the technical capabilities for which ICN can provide advantages and considering the requirem...

Munksøgård is a housing community near the city of Roskilde, Denmark. In 2014, Munksøgård's residents have agreed to change the existing heat supply system. The choice of future heat supply was narrowed to heat pumps, new biomass boiler and connection to nearby district heating network. The present paper compares results from techno-economic energy system analysis, simple private-economic analy...

Filgrastim is an important protein that treats neutropenia which has significant clinical applications including a possible cure against cancer. However, despite its significant medical benefits, the large scale production of Filgrastim is still rare and is reported only by a handful of companies throughout the world. We present a techno-economic feasibility analysis for a recombinant human ana...

This paper argues that our sociological explanations of the historical advent of gender stratification in the Occident has given too much attention to techno-economic causes and too little attention to religious, cultural and ideological causes. Evidence for this claim is taken from archeology, mythology and anthropology for the relevant historical period (4500 and 3000 BC) in Eurasia. I assert...

Techno-Entrepreneurship referred by many as ‘Technology Entrepreneurship’ usually denotes a vehicle or means to facilitate prosperity in individuals, firms, regions, and nations. The study of techno-entrepreneurship therefore, serves an important function beyond satisfying intellectual curiosity. Technoentrepreneurship lies at the heart of many important debates, including those around launchin...

The high prices currently achieved in the acquisition of nonrenewable energy for electricity production and the low levels of energy efficiency in the housing sector are the national situation, which leads the Portuguese government to encourage the acquisition, the installation and the use of technologies which exploit indigenous and renewable energy. This study presents an application that was...

Subtractive manufacturing (CNC machining) has high quality of geometric and material properties but is slow, costly and infeasible in some cases; additive manufacturing (RP) is just the opposite. Total automation and hence speed is achieved in RP by compromising on quality. Hybrid Layered Manufacturing (HLM) developed at IIT Bombay combines the best features of both these approaches. It uses ar...
