The paper considers the methodical issues of how the intersectoral interregional models could be applied to the assessment of large investment projects implemented through public-private partnership. We define the interrelated indicators of project efficiencies at the macroeconomic, regional and...

Constructing a robust hydraulic network model is vitally important, but a time-consuming task. Over last two decades, several approaches using optimization techniques have been developed for identifying model parameters. Although most of the methods can make the model agree with field...

This study develops and analyzes an original methodology for the simulation and prediction of space heating energy consumption in buildings connected to a district heating system, characterized by lack of individual control systems for end-users. The identification of the input parameters is...

The use of meta-response functions based on EPIC-generated data resulted in comparisons between variable (VRAT) and uniform rate application technologies for 36 simulated fields. VRAT was more profitable and less nitrogen was lost to the environment in most cases. When spatial variability was...
