The capacity value of wind power indicates the extent to which wind power contributes to the generation system adequacy of a power system. The related data requirements may be subject to difficulties due to the temporal ...
The capacity value of a generator is the contribution that a given generator makes to generation system adequacy. Due to the variable and stochastic nature of wind, the modeling of wind generation in the same manner as ...
In this paper we analyse a railroad cartel run by the Joint Executive Committee (JEC) in the United States in the nineteenth century. The JEC was a cartel whose members anticipated a periodic fall in demand due to competition ...
With the rise of user-generated content (blogs, wikis, ratings, reviews, opinions etc.) the web is evolving from a repository of content into a repository of experiences, and as it evolves there are many opportunities to ...
Web search is the main way for millions of users to access information every day, but we continue to struggle when it comes to finding the right information at the right time. In this paper we build on recent work to ...
Although collaborative searching is not supported by mainstream search engines, recent research has high- lighted the inherently collaborative nature of many web search tasks. In this paper, we describe HeyStaks ...

While financial incentives usually have a signifi cant effect on the labor supply of married women
and single mothers, the evidence about the participation elasticity of childless singles, and single males
especially, ...

Objective: To estimate the causal effect of breastfeeding on children’s cognitive skills as
measured at ages 3, 5, 7 and 11.
Design: An instrumental variable (IV) strategy which provides a correction method for
dealing ...
Assembly of CdS nanorods (8 × 100 nm) into vertically aligned arrays over very large areas on a substrate either as a monolayer or several multilayers is shown by electrophoresis.
Laboratory testing for foundation design offers advantages over field-testing, especially, where existing installations preclude easy accessibility. Advantages include a homogeneous soil, ability to place instrumentation ...
In order to gauge the potential impact of wave power in Ireland, the capacity factor of theoretical wave farms deployed at various locations around the Irish coast is compared to the system-wide capacity factor of wind ...

In the 1980s, both wages and labor supply of poorly educated men fell substantially relative to those of educated men. Some observers have interpreted this positive association between changes in wages and labor supply as ...
The large changes in relative wages that occurred during the 1980s provide fertile ground for studying the behavioral responses of married couples to the wage changes of husbands and wives. I find estimates of own-wage and ...
This paper reports on the Cultural Heritage and Migration project which was conducted as part of the UCD Irish Virtual Research Library and Archive (IVRLA) series of demonstrator research projects. The project, undertaken ...
Recent development patterns have seen the urban region of Dublin evolve from a compact urban form towards a dispersed development pattern assisted by a shift in service-sector employment. In particular, this paper examines ...
