Was the allocation of public investment ideologically motivated? Evidence from the Francoist dictatorship in Spain (1939-1975)
While much attention has been put on the criteria underlying the allocation of public investment before and after the Francoist dictatorship in Spain, no research has been conducted for this specific period. We study ... -
Wear resistance of hydrophobic surfaces
Nature has been an inspiration source to develop artificial hydrophobic surfaces. During the latest years the development of hydrophobic surfaces has been widely researched due to their numerous ranges of industrial ... -
Web applications for PLC simulations: first steps towards PLC simulations-as-a-service
PLC (Power Line Communications) present a wide range of advantages that make them very appropriate for Smart Grid applications, such as that there is no need to deploy additional communication infrastructure. However, they ... -
Weighted Graphs to Model Causality
En este artículo presentamos un estudio sobre cómo ponderar un grafo causal. En trabajos anteriores, se presentaba un grafo causal, pero era difícil decidir cuál era el camino con mayor grado de causalidad entre dos ... -
Welfare-maximizing transmission capacity expansion under uncertainty and imperfect competition
We apply the JuDGE optimization package to a multistage stochastic leader-follower model that determines a transmission capacity expansion plan to maximize expected social welfare of consumers and producers who act as ... -
What (if anything) can justify the use of fur?
Si aceptamos que los animales no humanos son seres dotados con una individualidad, que tienen una cierta agencia e intereses, que poseen sentimientos y capacidad de sufrir, la consecuencia más directa de esto es considerarlos ... -
What characteristics or circumstances are needed to enable clients to be a help against sex trafficking?
La trata de mujeres y niñas para explotación sexual se ha convertido en una de las principales preocupaciones de la Unión Europea. Particularmente, España tiene varias peculiaridades, lo que lleva al país a recibir un ... -
What is good corporate governance? A study of corporate governance quality and its metrics
Uno de los temas que más divergencias ha generado en el estudio del gobierno corporativo es la medición de lo que se entiende por "buen" gobierno, es decir, cómo definir y medir la calidad del gobierno. Con el fin de poder ... -
What is sacred in Sacred Natural Sites? Lessons from nature conservation based on beliefs of sacredness to foster sustainability transitions
La investigación sobre las transiciones de la sostenibilidad ha privilegiado los enfoques sociotécnicos y de todo el régimen. A pesar del giro institucional del campo y la creciente atención a la agencia de los actores y ... -
What is the cost of disregarding market feedback in transmission expansion planning?
Under the current European market environment, transmission companies have to decide network expansion by maximizing social welfare. However, generation companies (GENCOs) decide their capacity expansion with the aim of ... -
What should a researcher first read? A bi-relational citation networks model for strategical heuristic reading and scientific discovery
Los científicos generalmente tratan de encontrar documentos relevantes y actuales para su investigación. Además, enfrentan una gran cantidad de información. La mayoría de las metodologías y algoritmos miran hacia atrás, ... -
What time-period aggregation method works best for power system operation models with renewablesand storage?
In this paper we compare two cutting-edge timeperiod aggregation methodologies for power system models that consider both renewables and storage technologies: the chronological time-period clustering; and, the enhanced ... -
What will happen to religion after the pandemic?
Traditional religions play a decreasing role in Western societies. In addition, the pandemic has forced us to re-evaluate some of our behaviours and decisions. The pandemic could transform the way we understand religious ... -
Which role can carbon contracts for differences play in decarbonizing the European industry? A perspective from EU border regions
The commitment to stringent long-term deep decarbonisation targets on national and European level has put the industrial sector, responsible for approximately a quarter of EU emissions, in the spotlight for drastically ... -
Which unit commitment formulation is best? A comparison framework
The Unit Commitment (UC) problem, which deter-mines the day-ahead dispatch of generation units, is one of the key problems in power systems operation. A long list of formulations that claim to solve this problem more ... -
White noise testing for functional time series. Application to model identification and diagnosis
White noise characterization is a crucial step in the identification and diagnosis of a model for scalar time series, where the autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation functions of the time series are the most common ... -
Why are conservationists increasingly interested in Sacred Natural Sites?
Las Áreas Conservadas por Comunidades Indígenas (ICCA) y los Sitios Naturales Sagrados (SNS) son valiosos focos bioculturales y áreas importantes para la conservación de la naturaleza. En las últimas dos décadas, han atraído ... -
Wide area controllers for excitation boosters for transient stability improvement
Excitation boosters (EBs) are one of the most costeffective solutions to improve Fault Ride Through (FRT) capability of synchronous generators. However, they may lead to undesired behavior in multi-machine systems when ...
