A Participatory Design and Formal Study Investigation into Mobile Text Entry for Older Adults
Text entry remains key to many tasks on touchscreen smartphones and is an important factor in the usability of such devices. The known problems of text entry can be particularly acute for older adults due to physical and...
Applying the Computational Intelligence Paradigm to Nuclear Power Plant Operation
In the guise of artificial neural networks (ANNs), genetic/evolutionary computation algorithms (GAs/ECAs), fuzzy logic (FL) inference systems (FLIS) and their variants as well as combinations, the computational intelligence (CI)...
Addressing Sustainability of Sanitation Systems
Recently, a technical draft of the international standard ISO/DIS 30500 for non-sewered sanitation systems has been developed (publication expected for 2018). Its innovative feature is the inclusion of sustainable aspects. This...

Technological change, population dynamics, and natural resource depletion
Andreas Schaefer
Sep 01, 2014
In this paper, we integrate fertility and educational choices into a scale-invariant model of directed technological change with non-renewable natural resources, in order to reveal the interaction between population dynamics...
The U-shape of income inequality over the 20th century
Andreas Schaefer
Apr 30, 2021
We propose an overlapping generations model with three social classes to investigate the effects of higher education on the evolution of inequality. Initially, no social class invests in higher education and inequality is driven...

The Interaction between Endogenous Fertility and Inequality in the Political Economy
Andreas Schaefer
Jan 01, 0001
We simulate a two-period overlapping generations model with heterogeneous agents. Parents receive utility from the quantity and quality of their offspring. An increase in the wage rate leads to higher opportunity costs of...

Andreas Kyprianou
Nov 30, 2021

Bañuelos and Bogdan (Potential Anal. 21 (3) (2004) 263–288) and Bogdan et al. (Electron. J. Probab. 23 (2018) 11) analyse the asymptotic tail distribution of the first time a stable (Lévy) process in dimension d ≥ 2 exits a...

SDM
This article presents a new data set on self-determination movements (SDMs) with universal coverage for the period from 1945 to 2012. The data set corrects the selection bias that characterizes previous efforts to code SDMs and...
