Airline delays,congestion internalization and non-price spillover effects of low cost carrier entry

This paper develops an econometric model of flight delays to investigate the influence of competition and dominance on the incentives of carriers to maintain on-time performance. We consider both the route and the airport levels to inspect the local and global effects of competition, with a unifying framework to test the hypotheses of 1. airport congestion internalization and 2. the market competition-quality relationship in a single econometric model. In particular, we examine the impacts of the entry of low cost carriers (LCC) on the flight delays of incumbent full service carriers in the Brazilian airline industry. The main results indicate a highly significant effect of airport congestion self-internalization in parallel with route-level quality competition. Additionally, the potential competition caused by LCC presence provokes a global effect that suggests the existence of non-price spillovers of the LCC entry to non-entered routes.     

An inverse finite element method for the analysis of VIV data

This paper presents an algorithm for the frequency domain solution of dynamic linear “inverse” problems, that is for the processing of measurement data (strain, acceleration etc.) acquired on a mechanical structure, in order to estimate the loads acting on the structure and its corresponding response. The problem is formulated as a constrained (force equilibrium) optimization (small deviations from measurements, small loads) problem, which is transformed into an unconstrained problem, then into differential equations. The algorithm is applied to the estimation of hydrodynamic forces induced by the shedding of vortices from an offshore oil riser.

矿物掺合料对除冰盐环境下混凝土氯离子扩散中劣化效应系数的影响

采用化学分析方法,测定了高强混凝土(HSC)和高性能混凝土(HPC)在3种氯盐环境中的自由氯离子分布规律。根据F ick第二扩散定律和相关公式计算了混凝土中氯离子扩散的劣化效应系数(K)。结果表明:在除冰盐环境下,不掺掺合料的HSC存在劣化现象;掺加粉煤灰(FA)的HPC不存在劣化现象;掺加硅灰(SF)能减小混凝土的劣化程度,掺量为5%时效果最佳;双掺硅灰和粉煤灰(SF FA)的HPC不存在劣化现象。
