BuildingsA novel thermal conductivity prediction model was developed to address the complex influence of pore structure in porous materials. This model incorporates pore size (d) and a pore distribution parameter (t) to calculate the material’s thermal ...

Hypermedia as an experiential learning tool: a theoretical model
Information Research: An International Electronic Journal, 1996 The process of methodical design and development is of extreme importance in the production of educational software. However, this process will only be effective, if it is based on a theoretical model that explicitly defines what educational approach is ...

Intrinsic Information-Theoretic Models
EntropyWith this follow-up paper, we continue developing a mathematical framework based on information geometry for representing physical objects. The long-term goal is to lay down informational foundations for physics, especially quantum physics. We assume that we can now model information sources as univariate normal probability distributions N (μ, σ0), as ...

A Theoretical Extension of the Consumption-based CAPM Model [PDF]
We extend the Consumption-based CAPM (C-CAPM) model for representative agents with different risk attitudes. We introduce the concept of expectation dependence and show that for a risk averse representative agent, it is the first-degree expectation ...

A theoretical model of wage discrimination with inspection fines [PDF]
In neoclassical models, workers are classified a priori into discrimination groups. We develop a probabilistic model of wage discrimination in which workers need not be classified a priori. Our model is a generalization of the standard framework, whereas

Corruption, growth and ethnolinguistic fractionalization: a theoretical model [PDF]
This paper analyzes the existing relationship between ethnolinguistic fractionalization, corruption and the growth rate of a country. We provide a simple theoretical model.

Surge motion of an ice floe in waves: comparison of theoretical and experimental models
, 2014 A theoretical model and an experimental model of surge motions of an ice floe due to regular waves are presented. The theoretical model is a modified version of Morrison's equation, valid for small floating bodies.

Geophysical Research LettersSnow dampens sounds, but anecdotal reports concisely describe audible propagating collapse events—firnquakes—in Antarctic and Arctic snowfields. We propose combining granular and continuum mechanics to form a testable theory for conditioning, triggering,
