Real World Problems

This special issue of the Review of Network Economics is dedicated to celebrating the achievements of Professor Alfred Kahn in commemoration of his 90th; birthday. The articles in this special issue examine a range of topics in the economics of regulation, antitrust and public policy, as applied to the telecommunications, electric power, railroad and airline industries. And in the spirit of the man himself, these articles are motivated by real-world problems, "rigorous" and yet accessible to policymakers and practitioners alike.

Real World Problems

Standardized education and narrow curriculum testing reduces students' abilities to critically think and creatively solve real-world problems. Although public policy emphasizes these important and practical skills, they have not adequately manifested in United States classrooms. They are instead filled with shallow prescribed curriculum that fails to inspire and guide students to think creatively. Science education provides a unique opportunity to engage students by solving real problems through flexible co-constructed supportive environment.

Real World Problems

Advice is a ubiquitous and consequential form of social support and social influence in virtually every social and cultural context, and has therefore garnered considerable scholarly attention over the past two decades, including the development of several theories specific to explaining advice evaluation and outcomes. The studies selected for this special issue extend existing theory through critique, extension, and integration; showcase methodological improvement and innovation; and illustrate meaningful application of theory and research to address real-world problems.

Real World Problems

Public policy is frequently characterised as a sub-discipline of political science which is practically oriented and concerned with what government does and does not do. Further, policy analysis can also be characterised as concerned with either the analysis ‘of policy’ or ‘for policy’. This clearly has implications for the design and delivery of public policy courses. More broadly, higher education in Australia, like elsewhere, faces calls to ensure that students graduate with a range of skills and aptitudes that make them ‘job ready’ and able to engage with ‘real world problems’. One of the ways in which this can be pursued is through industry engagement. However, limited research has been undertaken regarding what this might entail or how it can be pursued. Accordingly, in this paper we explore these issues by: (a) situating engagement within the field of public policy; (b) reviewing how the changing context of higher education, with a particular focus on the drivers and rationale for greater engagement with industry, intersects with the teaching of public policy; and (c) providing a framework which helps to clarify the different modes, potential and risks associated with industry engagement.

Real World Problems

In the last decade, it has been proven in several research papers that, mathematical tools are rather power in describing real world problem in all fields of science, technology and engineering. Various mathematical models that examine real world problems have been studied and developed with the aim of predicting the future. Due to the wider applicability of these tools, research observes that the field of applied sciences is a rapidly growing discipline and has engaged the minds of researchers. The recently developed mathematical models bear certain kinds of complexities. Therefore new methods have been elaborated for observing the properties of intricated models accurately. Moreover, comprehensive information about the models have been found by modifiying the existing methods in literature. By means of the outstanding increase in information, such findings uncover new aspects and properties of real world problems. In addition, structural changes of models and technical improvements in practices brought out novel challenging issues. Such challenges have resulted in new and modified methods. Therefore, the studies in such fields are essential and meaningful in understanding the diverse aspects of the models.This special issue aims at addressing these interesting research matters in the field of applied and engineering sicences. The main source of the articles in this special issue were the selected papers from those presented at the Second International Conference on Computational Mathematics and Engineering Sciences (CMES2017), which was held on May 20-22, 2017, in Istanbul, Turkey. During CMES2017, several various papers related to applied and engineering sicence have been presented. In this special issue, we have received 12 manuscripts based on rigorous reviews. This special issue has greatly benefited from the cooperation among the authors, reviewers, and editors.We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Moulay Ismail University and Firat University for organizing CMES2017 Conference and all the authors for their contributions, which has made this special issue possible.
