Determinants of export diversification: an empirical investigation
PublicationEmpirical findings confirm that relatively high specialisation of economic structures tends to be associated with low levels of income per capita, but countries diversify their export structures along their path of growth. However, usually only per capita income, and eventually, country-specific fixed effects are the sole explanatory variables taken into consideration in the estimation of specialisation curves. We extend the analysis...

Contribution to the mechanism of liquid membrane oscillators involving cationic surfactant.
PublicationIt is shown that liquid membrane oscillators with cationic surfactants havemore complex oscillation patterns than observed previously. The actual details of the oscillations depend strongly on the nature of the membrane material, dislosing even the presence of parallel molecular events. It appearsthat sampling topology also has a great influence on the observed oscillato-ry behaviour. Variation of oscillation patterns with...

Collaborative Delivery by Energy-Sharing Low-Power Mobile Robots
PublicationWe study two variants of delivery problems for mobile robots sharing energy. Each mobile robot can store at any given moment at most two units of energy, and whenever two robots are at the same location, they can transfer energy between each other, respecting the maximum capacity. The robots operate in a simple graph and initially each robot has two units of energy. A single edge traversal by an robot reduces its energy by one...

On-Line Partitioning for On-Line Scheduling with Resource Conflicts
PublicationWithin this paper, we consider the problem of on-line partitioning the sequence of jobs which are competing for non-sharable resources. As a result of partitioning we get the subsets of jobs that form separate instances of the on-line scheduling problem. The objective is to generate a partition into the minimum number of instances such that the response time of any job in each instance is bounded by a given constant. Our research...

A New Approach for the Mitigating of Flow Maldistribution in Parallel Microchannel Heat Sink
PublicationThe problem of flow maldistribution is very critical in microchannel heat sinks (MCHS). It induces temperature nonuniformity, which may ultimately lead to the breakdown of associated system. In the present communication, a novel approach for the mitigation of flow maldistribution problem in parallel MCHS has been proposed using variable width microchannels. Numerical simulation of copper made parallel MCHS consisting of 25 channels...

Searching by heterogeneous agents
PublicationIn this work we introduce and study a pursuit-evasion game in which the search is performed by heterogeneous entities. We incorporate heterogeneity into the classical edge search problem by considering edge-labeled graphs: once a search strategy initially assigns labels to the searchers, each searcher can be only present on an edge of its own label. We prove that this problem is not monotone even for trees and we give instances...

Partial dominated schedules and minimizing the total completion time of deteriorating jobs
PublicationA problem of scheduling deteriorating jobs on a single processor is considered. The processing time of a job is given by a function pi=ai+bisi, where si is the starting time of the job, ai>=0, bi>=0, for i=1,...,n. Jobs are non-preemptive and independent and there are neither ready times nor deadlines. The goal is to minimize the total weighted completion time. We show how to employ the concept of non-dominated schedules to construct...

Separability in terms of a single entanglement witness
PublicationThe separability problem is formulated in terms of a characterization of a single entanglement witness. More specifically, we show that any (in general multipartite) state rho is separable if and only if a specially constructed entanglement witness W-rho is weakly optimal, i.e., its expectation value vanishes on at least one product vector. Interestingly, the witness can always be chosen to be decomposable. Our result changes the...

A few steps more towards NPT bound entanglement
PublicationIn this paper, existence of bound entangled states with nonpositive partial transpose (NPT) is considered. As one knows, existence of such states would in particular imply nonadditivity of distillable entanglement. Moreover, it would rule out a simple mathematical description of the set of distillable states. The particular state, known to be 1-copy nondistillable and supposed to be bound entangled, is considered. The problem of...

Packing [1,Delta]-factors in graphs of small degree
PublicationRozważano problem znalezienia w grafie zadanej liczby k krawędziowo rozłącznych [1,Delta]-faktorów, gdzie Delta oznacza stopień grafu.
