We show in the context of a new economic geography model that when
labor is heterogenous trade liberalization may lead to industrial agglomeration
and inter-regional trade. Labor heterogeneity gives local monopoly
power to firms but also introduces variations in the quality of the job match.

Computational models are commonly used in engineering design and scientific discovery activities for simulating
complex physical systems in disciplines such as fluid mechanics, structural dynamics, heat transfer, nonlinear
structural mechanics, shock physics, and many others. These simulators can be ...
Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries with high energy density and long cycle life are considered to be one of the most promising next-generation energy-storage systems beyond routine lithium-ion batteries. Various approaches have been proposed to break down technical barriers in Li–S battery systems. ...
In this paper we present a classifier called bi-density twin support vector machines (BDTWSVMs) for data classification. In the training stage, BDTWSVMs first compute the relative density degrees for all training points using the intra-class graph whose weights are determined by a local sc ...
Part I provides a compact survey on classical stochastic geometry models. The basic models defined
in this part will be used and extended throughout the whole monograph, and in particular to SINR based
models. Note however that these classical stochastic models can be used in a variety of contexts w ...
The focus of this book is on developing computational algorithms for transmit wave-
form design in active sensing applications, such as radar, sonar, communications and
medical imaging. Waveforms are designed to achieve certain desired properties, which
are divided into three categories correspondin ...
Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) are miniature systems composed

The concept of MEMS is attributed to Richard Feynman’s famous talk on December

A power semiconductor module is basically a power circuit of different
materials assembled together using hybrid technology, such as semiconduc-
tor chip attachment, wire bonding, encapsulation, etc. The materials
involved cover a wide range from insulators, conductors, and semiconduc-
tors to organ ...
Switched systems are embedded devices widespread in industrial
applications such as power electronics and automotive control. They
consist of continuous-time dynamical subsystems and a rule that
controls the switching between them. Under a suitable control rule, the
system can improve its steady-sta ...
