This paper uses dynamic general equilibrium and computational methods, inspired by the multi-sector growth model structure in Stephen Turnovsky's work, to develop a theory that unifies two of the traditional explanations of structural change: sector-biased technical change and non-homothetic preferences.…

In this paper, a method of event ordering based on temporal information resolution is presented. This method consists of two main steps: on the one hand, the recognition and resolution of the temporal expressions that can be transformed on a…

Virtual and remote laboratories(VRLs) are e-learning resources which enhance the accessibility of experimental setups providing a distance teaching framework which meets the student's hands-on learning needs. In addition, online collaborative communication represents a practical and a constructivist method to transmit…

La consolidación de la Web 2.0 y los medios sociales en nuestra sociedad coincide en el tiempo con el paulatino afianzamiento de un mercado emergente, el de las personas mayores. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar, en el contexto…

We develop a theory to explain the transition from stagnation to modern growth. We focus on the forces that shaped the evolution of total factor productivity in agriculture and manufacturing across history. More specifically, we build a multisector model of…

The purpose of this study is to assess the technical-tactical knowledge of high performance soccer players. The sport performance of sixteen 14-year-olds who play for the Spanish soccer club Albacete Balompie was analysed in a modified game as “seven-a-side match”…

El estudio a largo plazo de los efectos de la fragmentación del hábitat en un mismo territorio tiene dos ventajas: facilita la comprensión de procesos no siempre evidentes en aproximaciones puntuales y permite incorporar con rapidez nuevas ideas y metodologías…

Data mining is at the core of the knowledge discovery process. However, an initial preprocessing step is crucial for assuring reliable results within this process. Preprocessing of data is a time-consuming and non-trivial task since data quality issues should be…

La principal aportación del trabajo es la formulación de una alternativa que facilita la determinación experimental del factor de pérdidas y, en consecuencia, mejorar las predicciones de aislamiento a ruido aéreo para vidrios con una o más capas intermedias sea…
