This conceptual article seeks to integrate blockchain into current theory on the governance of inter-organizational exchanges within business networks. It is posited that a blockchain governance structure comprised of administrative, platform, and application level mechanisms represents a...

As the cell and PCS world collides into wireless LANs and Internet-based parcel information, new networking approaches will maintain the blend of voice and information on the composite establishment of cell base stations and Ethernet-based wireless passages. Cross-Layer Design has become an...

Critical effects of global climate change urgently call for socio-technical transitions towards more efficient, flexible and cleaner energy systems. However, adequate regulatory frameworks and policy incentives are lagging behind. This paper focuses on the governance dynamics shaping...

At the core of any meaningful economic activity is electric power. Absence or inadequacy of it in a nation stalls development in that nation. In Nigeria, there is a wide gap between forecast power and actual power generation needed for productive endeavours. For instance in July 2017, the...

The study focused on the comparative analysis of the submarine geomorphology of three oceanic trenches: Hikurangi Trench (HkT), Puysegur Trench (PT) and Hjort Trench (HjT), New Zealand region, Pacific Ocean. HjT is characterized by an oblique subduction zone. Unique regional tectonic setting...

Distributed computing is a very common term in the field of computer science and also a very general computing paradigm which is being used by almost all the scientific and industrial computing applications. All the information technology applications have based upon the use of the distributed...

Cloud computing is an infrastructure for proffer computing services over the internet on-demand in heterogeneous distributed environment and make payment for used of shared resources such as storage, services servers, applications, and networks, without physically owning them. So, it also saves...

Traditional electrical grid as the largest and most complex industry in the world is currently under fundamental development. According to the IEEE Std1547.4, large distribution systems can be clustered into a number of micro-grids (MGs) to facilitate the control and operation infrastructure in...

This paper develops a method to flexibly adapt interpolation grids of value function approximations in the estimation of dynamic models using either NFXP (Rust, 1987) or MPEC (Su and Judd, 2012). Since MPEC requires the grid structure for the value function approximation to be hard-coded into...

Grid integration remains one of the key challenges related to the worldwide expansion of distributed renewable energy systems. This paper presents innovative measures for increasing the hosting capacity of distribution grids with a focus on the medium-voltage grid, based on representative...
