Technical Solutions for Low Energy Consumption Residences in Subtropical Regions

Based on the climatic conditions and residential energy consumption in regions with hot summers and cold winters, three principles of building energy efficiency were used to explain the technical system and technical solutions for low energy consumption residence. To improve the energy efficiency in residences, and to produce more comfort as well, we should adjust sunlight, improve ventilation, reasonably insulate houses, make full use of natural energy sources, and choose high COP(Coefficient of Performance) equipments. Making reasonable use of local resources while planning and designing a residence is the key to low energy consumption. The solution given in this paper provides references for development of low energy consumption residences in regions of this type.     

Migration management and mobility pathways for Filipino migrants to New Zealand

There has been an increasing focus on migration management by academics and policy makers, especially in relation to temporary and transitional forms of mobility. This paper considers the acceleration of Filipino migration to New Zealand in recent years, partly driven by changing policies allowing migrants to transition from student and work visas to permanent residence. It outlines the history of Filipino migration to New Zealand, the roles of the Philippines and New Zealand governments and intermediaries in migration management and the nature of student, temporary work and permanent residence migration. The transitional pathways used by Filipino migrants are analysed in relation to the influence of skills and educational characteristics in creating opportunities for some and vulnerability for others.

Location of New Firms: Influence of Commuting Behaviour

In the entrepreneurship literature, it is generally assumed that an individual establishes a new firm in a location in which they have strong ties, normally in the municipality of residence or employment. We scrutinise this general assumption and show that firm location depends on individual characteristics, such as the commuting experience. Our results show that commuting influences the firm location choice. The probability of establishing a firm in the work municipality increases if the entrepreneur is a commuter, holding constant the type of region and unobservable and observable individual features.     

填充床中细小颗粒渗流行为的DEM模拟

为进一步探索COREX过程固体物料的运动状态,对COREX过程中涉及到的细小颗粒渗流行为进行了DEM模拟。考察不同颗粒直径比、阻尼系数及滑动摩擦系数对细小颗粒渗流行为的影响,特别是计算得到不同模拟参数下细小颗粒在填充床内的运动轨迹。模拟结果显示,渗流过程中细小颗粒的平均渗流速度为一定值。随着颗粒直径比的增加,颗粒竖直方向的渗流速度逐渐减小,停留时间与径向弥散逐渐变大。随着颗粒间阻尼系数的增加,颗粒渗流速度逐渐增加,停留时间逐渐减小,径向弥散逐渐变小。滑动摩擦系数对细小颗粒的渗流行为影响较小。从细小颗粒运动轨迹分析可知,颗粒直径比变大时,细小颗粒易在空隙中缓慢移动,易趋于静止床层中,导致颗粒沉积。随着颗粒间阻尼系数变小,颗粒运动轨迹向填充床边缘发展,偏离床层中心。

Why Is U.S. Poverty Higher in Nonmetropolitan than in Metropolitan Areas?

ABSTRACT In the U.S., people are more likely to be poor if they live in a nonmetropolitan (nonmetro) than in a metropolitan (metro) area. A common explanation for this phenomenon is that nonmetro places offer relatively few economic and social opportunities. This article explores another plausible explanation, asking if the disproportionate poverty in nonmetro areas partly reflects attitudes of people with personal attributes related to poverty: they may be attracted to nonmetro places or otherwise reluctant (or unable) to leave them. To test this hypothesis, data from nine waves of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) are used to track economic well‐being and nonmetro–metro residential choice among a sample of 2,007 low‐income householders. A series of multivariate regression models are estimated in which the dependent variable is a householder's income to need (adjusted for spatial cost‐of‐housing differences), and regressors are individual attributes, a binary variable for nonmetro residence, and state fixed‐effects. Regression results show that controlling for householder educational attainment reduces the negative association between nonmetro residence and income to need; but controlling for unobserved, time‐invariant heterogeneity via individual fixed‐effects increases the magnitude of this negative association. Study findings thus appear to indicate that enduring nonmetro poverty is explained both by a sorting of low human capital individuals into nonmetro areas and by reduced economic opportunities in nonmetro compared to metro places.
