We present the numbers of ice model configurations (with Boltzmann factors equal to one) I(n) on the two-dimensional Sierpinski gasket SG(n) at stage n. The upper and lower bounds for the entropy per site, defined as limv→∞lnI(n)/v, where v is the number of vertices on SG(n), are derived in...

A campus may impact the surrounding area in various ways, such as by the noise emissions. We analysed the campus noise emissions from the viewpoint of total activity volume and measured the noise levels within a new university campus, and at selected points in a neighbouring village, over a...

The exposition industry has developed rapidly in recent years. For exposition centers, exposition timetabling is a complicated problem. The timetables arranged by the administrators usually result in an imbalanced usage percentage between showgrounds and a low total usage percentage for all...

The paper presents a new extension to the Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) in the assessment of land use, transport and utility infrastructure development options from the perspective of a UK region. A geographically detailed model is required to analyse spatially heterogeneous impacts of land...

Random utility modelling has been established as one of the main paradigms for the implementation of land use and transport interaction (LUTI) models. Despite widespread application of such models, the respective literature provides relatively little detail on the theoretical consistency of the...

The extensive literature on academic entrepreneurship has focused almost entirely on science and engineering, while little is known about the extent of it in other disciplines, most notably the creative arts. We analyse the context, motivations, and variety of academic entrepreneurship in the...

Random utility modelling has been established as one of the main paradigms for the implementation of land-use spatial interaction (LUSI) models. We present a detailed formal description of a LUSI model that adheres to the random utility paradigm through the explicit distinction between utility...

The commercialization of academic knowledge is increasingly seen as a potential economic development model, particularly for improving the capabilities and economic performance of regions. This insightful volume investigates the emerging factors in knowledge commercialization from an...
