Dynamics of Energy Systems - Methods of analysing technology change

Technology change will have a central role in achieving a sustainable energy system. This calls for methods of analysing the dynamics of energy systems in view of technology change and policy instruments for effecting and accelerating technology change. In this thesis, such methods have been developed, applied, and assessed. Two types of methods have been considered, methods of analysing and proje

Conceptual Spaces at Work in Sensory Cognition : Domains, Dimensions and Distances

This chapter makes use of two data sources, terminological schemas for wine descriptions and actual wine reviews, for the investigation of how experiences of sensory perceptions of vision, smell, taste and touch are described. In spite of all the great challenges involved in describing perceptions, professional wine reviewers are expected to be able to give an understandable account of their exper

Control-theoretical load-balancing for cloud applications with brownout

Cloud applications are often subject to unexpected events like flash crowds and hardware failures. Without a predictable behaviour, users may abandon an unresponsive application. This problem has been partially solved on two separate fronts: first, by adding a self-adaptive feature called brownout inside cloud applications to bound response times by modulating user experience, and, second, by intr

Plant-climate interactions over historical and geological time

Data-model comparisons are a useful approach to elucidating the relative influence of past climate change on vegetation dynamics over various spatial global, regional, stand) and temporal (historical, geological) scales. Comparisons between changes in tree species abundance reconstructed from pollen and simulated from a forest gap model, for example, indicate that based solely on climate change ov

Performance simulation investigation of TINA networks

The paper discusses the performance of TINA (Telecommunications Information Networking Architecture). The TINA architecture allows both multiple service vendors and multiple network providers. It is developed by a consortium which includes network operators and telecommunication and computer equipment suppliers. The foundation of TINA is object orientation and distributed computing. A computationa
