The main object of this paper is the documentation and study of the main factors behind the spectacular diffusion of … solar energy use for domestic hot water production in Greece. The time pattern of the diffusion of flat-plate solar … collectors since its ‘out of the blue’ first appearance in 1974, shows that the diffusion rate grew exponentially at first, with …

We introduce a diffusion of innovation model based on a network threshold approach. Realistic network and threshold … of good targets can accelerate innovation diffusion. … data were gathered regarding the diffusion of new software tools within part of a large organization. Novel model features …

. However, while locally speeding diffusion, these same micro-mechanisms can obstruct the emergence of a large, self …
