Endogenizing Technological Change: Matching Empirical Evidence to Modeling Needs
No full textTechnologies to reduce significantly fossil-fuel emissions currently are unavailable or only available at high cost. In light of this, the amount of research on the pace, direction, and benefits of environmentally friendly technological change has grown dramatically in recent years. This research includes empirical estimates of these effects and modeling exercises designed to simulate endogenous technological change in response to climate policy. Unfortunately, few attempts have been made to connect these two streams of research. This paper attempts to bridge that gap, reviewing both the empirical and modeling literature on technological change. Our goal is to provide an agenda for how both empirical and modeling research in these areas can move forward in a complementary fashion. In doing so, we discuss how models used for policy evaluation can better capture empirical phenomena and how empirical research can better address the needs of models used for policy evaluation.endogenous technological change, climate change, CGE modeling
Successful treatment of psoriatic onycho‐pachydermo periostitis (POPP) with adalimumab
No full textPsoriatic onycho-pachydermo periostitis (POPP) is recognized as a rare subset of psoriatic arthritis, characterized by psoriatic onychodystrophy, connective tissue thickening above the distal phalanx, and a periosteal reaction. Therapy for this rare disease is based on treatments used for psoriatic arthritis, but traditional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, such as sulfasalazine and methotrexate, have shown inconsistent and unsatisfactory results. We report herein a successful therapeutic approach for POPP using the fully human anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antibody adalimumab in a 42-year-old male patient. After 4 months of anti-TNF treatment, a remarkable normalization of the clinical appearance was achieved and magnetic resonance imaging showed complete resolution of the initial inflammatory lesions. Therefore, we consider a TNF-blocking strategy as promising for treatment of POPP

Anisotropy in shale from Mont Terri
No full textAnisotropy of shales is the subject of this report, and we use an example of the Jurassic Opalinus Clay from Mont Terri (Switzerland) that is being investigated in the context of radioactive waste disposal. The study is targeted at the geomechanical characterization of shale by laboratory testing. The overall aim is to improve the constitutive material laws and their application in numerical models
A magyar agrártámogatások alakulása nemzetközi kötelezettségvállalásaink (OECD, WTO) tükrében
No full textA Világkereskedelmi Szervezet (WTO) a tagországok támogatottsági szintjét illetve
a csökkentési kötelezettség betartását az ún. AMS mutató alakulásán keresztül ellenőrzi.
Az AMS kiszámításának módszere még mindig az 1995-ben elfogadott Mezőgazdasági
Egyezményben rögzített ún. Box System („Dobozos Rendszer”) elveire épül. Ennek alapja,
hogy a belső költségvetési támogatásokat a csökkentési kötelezettség alá tartozó Amber (Sárga),
a csökkentési kötelezettség alá nem tartozó Green (Zöld), illetve a termeléskorlátozáshoz
kapcsolódó Blue (Kék) dobozokba kell besorolni.
A ténylegesen kifizetett támogatásokon túl az AMS-t terheli a piaci ártámogatás
(MPS). A piaci ártámogatás a rögzített külső referenciaár (1986-1988 közötti külkereskedelmi
ár) és az adott tagországban alkalmazott adminisztratív ár közötti különbség, valamint a
szabályozott árra jogosult mennyiség szorzata. Ez sokszor fiktív, ki sem fizetett összeg (ha az
adott évben nem szükséges állami felvásárlással beavatkozni a piaci folyamatokba). AMS-t
csökkentő hatás viszont, hogy azon összegek, amelyek értéke termék-specifikus támogatás
esetén az adott termék, míg nem termék-specifikus támogatás esetén a teljes mezőgazdasági
bruttó termelési érték 5%-ánál alacsonyabb, mentesülnek a beszámítás alól (ún. de minimis
szabály)..
The Impact of Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Crop Agriculture: A Spatial- and Production-Level Analysis
No full textWith the Waxman-Markey Bill passing the House and the administration’s push to reduce carbon emissions, the likelihood of the implementation of some form of a carbon emissions policy is increasing. This study estimates the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the six largest row crops produced in Arkansas using 57 different production practices predominantly used and documented by the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service. From these GHG emission estimates, a baseline state “carbon footprint†was estimated and a hypothetical GHG emissions reduction of 5, 10, and 20 percent was levied on Arkansas agriculture using a cap-and-trade method. Using current production technology and traditional land use choices, results show that the trading of carbon-emitting permits to reduce statewide GHG emissions by 5 percent from the baseline would enhance GHG emissions efficiency measured as net crop farm income generated per unit of carbon emissions created. The 5 percent reduction in GHG emissions does cause marginal reductions in acres farmed and has marginal income ramifications. Beyond the 5 percent reduction target, gains in GHG emissions efficiency decline but remain positive in most counties through the 10 percent GHG reduction target. However, with a 10 percent GHG reduction, acreage and income reductions more than double compared to the 5 percent level. When GHG emissions are reduced by 20 percent from the baseline, the result is a major cropping pattern shift coupled with significant reductions in traditional row crop acreage, income, and GHG emissions efficiency.greenhouse gas emissions, carbon equivalents, sustainability, cap and trade, Environmental Economics and Policy, Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,
Biosensing with T-ray spectroscopy

This is due to the fact that the THz-spectra of many biomolecules show very characteristic, distinct spectroscopic features. Furthermore, most non-metallic packaging materials are nearly transparent in this frequency range (0.1-6 THz, 3 cm-1-200 cm-1), so that it is possible to non-invasively identify even sealed substances like pharmaceuticals, illicit drugs or explosives by their spectroscopic signatures. This opens a significant potential for a wide range of applications from quality control of pharmaceutical substances via safety applications through to biomedical applications. The individual spectroscopic features below approximately 5 THz that spurred the increased world wide interest in T-ray spectroscopy are mainly due to intermolecular rather than intramolecular vibrations in the polycrystalline samples. The spectra of more complex biomolecules, like proteins and nucleotides, typically show less or even no sharp features, due to the lack of long-range intermolecular order. Furthermore, due to the typically significantly smaller sample amount, the signal to noise ratio is strongly increased. Water shows a strong absorption in this frequency range, which all together makes real biomedical applications of T-ray spectroscopy rather difficult. Yet, by combining a careful sample preparation, novel experimental techniques and an advanced signal processing of the experimental data we can still clearly distinguish between even complex biomolecules and therefore demonstrate the potential the technique holds for biomedical applications. © 2007 SPIE-OSA.Bernd M.
