This dissertation establishes a novel system for human face learning and recognition based on incremental multilinear Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Most of the existing face recognition systems need training data during the learning process. The system as proposed in this dissertation...

By introducing Romer (1990)'s endogenous technological change into the multisector growth model developed by Kongsamut, Rebelo and Xie (2001), the paper shows that human capital speeds up economic growth and structural changes in the multisector economy qualitatively and quantitatively.

To comprehend the relationship scheme between human capital accumulation and structural change observed in developing and developed countries, the paper combines Romer (1990)'s endogenous technological change with Kongsamut, Rebelo and Xie (1997, 2001)'s structural change model and shows that...

In this paper we prove the existence, uniqueness and saddle-point stability of the steady state (or balanced growth path) of the Romer (1990) model by utilizing the reduction of dimensionality. Furthermore, we found out a set of policy instruments to improve the monopolistic competitive...

This paper investigates the extent to which media coverage on organic dairy issues influences consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for the organic attribute of milk. We find that news with contents most often viewed as negative toward organic dairy are more powerful in decreasing consumers’...

Floods are one of the most costly types of natural disasters in Australia and other parts of the world. It was reported that the average annual cost of flood damage in Australia was about $300 million as at 1994. However, the effects of flooding can be mitigated, and thereby reduce the loss of...
