In a family of one-dimensional quadratic maps, Misiurewicz points are unstable and the orbits of such a points are repulsive. On the contrary, the orbits of superstable periodic points are attractive. Here we study the patterns of the symbolic sequences of both Misiurewicz and superstable...

Thermal performance of a solar chimney for natural ventilation was experimentally investigated. The experimental model was implemented on full scale and real meteorological conditions, so that experimental results will be compared with the simulation results. The results show that for a maximum...

The transient thermal performance of a chemically deposited thin film on a glass substrate is presented. Differential energy balances for the glass are set up assuming a one-dimensional transient state for normal incidence of the air mass to solar radiation. Using the reported properties of a...

In this paper we study the chaotic bands of any Mandelbrot set hyperbolic component. We use external arguments in order to identify the hyperbolic components. If we use harmonics as a tool, we can directly calculate the chaotic bands. Indeed, as we clearly show here, the harmonics of the...

The authors investigate the determinants of the remarkable increase in intra-regional migrations since the 1980's in Spain, using a large administrative micro dataset on migrants. Conditional migration probabilities are identified by comparing the migrant's joint distribution of characteristics...

The purpose of this paper is to formulate procedures for the analysis of the time series behaviour of micro panel data subject to censoring. We assume an autoregressive model with random effects for a latent variable which is only partly observed due to a selection mechanism. Our methods are...

This chapter focuses on two of the developments in panel data econometrics since the Handbook chapter by Chamberlain (1984). The first objective of this chapter is to provide a review of linear panel data models with predetermined variables. We discuss the implications of assuming that...
