The environment for research and education is rapidly changing with the entry to the knowledge economy. Collaboration between higher education, government, and industry becomes more essential for knowledge production as do the sustainability of the networks between the collaborative partners. In...

The Environmental Assessment (EA) process should involve the generation of testable predictions generated using clearly stated methods and followed by the collection of environmental monitoring data. Follow-up programs should aim to determine the accuracy of the initial predictions. We examined...

This paper considers how best to sequence the acquisition of new locations (e.g. office park buildings, multi-tenant units, etc.) to expand the coverage area or fill in the geographic footprint of a network service provider or other business-service activities. Consider several locations,...

The design of PDE black-box solvers (for nonlinear systems of elliptic and parabolic PDEs) needs many compromises between efficiency and robustness which we call ‘Numerical Engineering’. The requirements for a black-box solver are formulated and the way how to meet them is presented, guided...
