If a user in Italy tries to access your site, your CDN will find the closest server in the user’s network. (Let’s say it’s in France.) The CDN will then deliver a cached version of your site to the server in France. Since Italy is much closer to France than to Los Angeles, ...
We simulated over 200 cities worldwide to investigate how the street network affects vehicle routes. We demonstrate that there is a ubiquitous super-linear relationship between time and distance when optimal route are chosen. More precisely, the average
The national annual income is called “gross domestic product,” or GDP, and most financial statistics of a country are usually measured against that figure. What Does The Downward Trend Say About Swiss Debt Management? The debt-to-GDP ratio of Switzerland has been on a downward trend since ...
(1) The acquisition dimension, where the access ability is measured as the resource base of urban innovation, the value of the resource base is not automatically shown and needs the subject to be able to actively access it, while the access dimension in this study is represented by the ...
Indeed, the building aggregate modelling process combines statistical and measured data very often [45] for the estimation of hourly electricity consumption for a large group of residential buildings [46]. Moreover, the archetype-based approach is widely applied for taking into account building ...
Tires also have a recommended maximum air pressure (in psi) that—while somewhat useful—is only a small piece of information when it comes to knowing what pressure setting to use for your tires. Never use the max pressure rating on the sidewall to determine how much air to put into your...
Vegetarianism is a big deal, ethically speaking. It was put on the map in terms of public philosophy by utilitarian Peter Singer, with his landmark Animal Liberation, published back in 1975. In truth, utilitarians have been very clear on the subject from the beginning. The founder of the ...

Most biophysical processes are measured at field-level, where for example carbon is sequestered and nutrients are utilized for crop production. However, decision-making processes at the farm-level are also guided by socio-economic factors. Although, farmers may consider both biophysical processes and ...
Elasticities of substitution are known to be relatively large (seven to eight is often retained in practical trade empirical research). Hence even relatively modest elasticities of firm productivity can lead to much larger effects in the trade matrix, as measured by the factor supply elasticities. ...
