This paper proposes an evolving ant direction differential evolution (EADDE) algorithm for solving the optimal power flow problem with non-smooth and non-convex generator fuel cost characteristics. The EADDE employs ant colony search to find a suitable mutation operator for differential...

A pesar del rápido crecimiento y del dinamismo del sector privado de enseñanza superior se sabe poco todavía de la realidad del mismo. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar desde una perspectiva comparada la estructura de los costes de las universidades públicas y privadas en relación...

This paper attempts to quantify the impact of fragmentation on employment. Factor demand functions for labour and intermediates and mark up price equations derived from a Generalized Leontief cost function at industry level are estimated. Import prices and output prices influence the price of...
