Climate change impacts on water sustainability of South African crop production

Agricultural production in arid and semi-arid regions is particularly vulnerable to climate change, which, combined with projected food requirements, makes the sustainable management of water resources critical to ensure national and global food security. ...

The controllability cost for the heat equation as the control time

T

goes to 0 is well-known of the order

e^{C/T}

for some positive constant

C

, depending on the controlled domain and for all initial datum. In this paper, we prove that the constant $C ...

Monotonicity in the trip scheduling problem

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Raphael Ali Francis Lamotte

The equilibrium of the archetypal morning commute problem with alpha -,B - gamma preferences has been shown to be unstable with various rational adjustment mechanisms, under both continuous and discrete day-to-day dynamics. It is not clear however whether ...

Ambiguous labor market reforms

Charles Cosme Henri Dennery

When labour unions use first-best price discrimination, they can extract a wage above the marginal product of labour: employment is above the firm's own optimum - this is featherbedding or overmanning, and such rigidities can increase employment. While lab ...

Kinetic and mechanistic aspects of selenite oxidation by chlorine, bromine, monochloramine, ozone, permanganate, and hydrogen peroxide

Urs von Gunten

Selenium (mainly in the forms of selenite (Se(IV)) and selenate (Se(VI)) is a regulated drinking water contaminant, but there is little information on the kinetics and mechanisms of Se(IV) oxidation during water treatment. Species-specific and apparent sec ...

The cost of omnidirectionality: extracting and labelling the echoes

Julien Olivier Thierry Rüegg

This report explains all theoretical and practical aspects of a 2D room re- construction algorithm based on euclidean geometry. Detailed theoretical explanations about the procedure are given in the first part. In the second part, a precise description of ...

BETTER WATER INFRASTRUCTURES FOR A BETTER WORLD – THE IMPORTANT ROLE OF WATER ASSOCIATIONS

Anton Schleiss

History shows that the economic prosperity of a society and its cultural wealth has always been closely related to the level of development of its water infrastructure. In view of climate change, especially dams and reservoirs, but also other water infrast ...

Capital goods, measured TFP and growth: The case of Spain

Luis Franjo Garcia

The effect of investing in equipment and/or structures on TFP and long run growth is investigated here. We argue that economies can grow in spite of stagnant TFP if the investment rate is inefficiently high. We study the case of Spain where real GDP per wo ...

Coupled energy economic model framework for analyzing Swiss electricity markets in changing policy environments

Sophie Maire

Energy policy needs to rely on the proper understanding of the interactions between policy instruments, consumer preferences, investment behavior, market structure, electricity supply, and the wider policy environment. This asks for appropriate modeling to ...

Attitudes to Distance, Time and Cost in Logit Transport Choice Models

Matthieu Marie Cochon de Lapparent

During the last 20 years, a distance variable has sometimes been added to specifications of Logit utility functions that already included travel time and cost variables long assumed in theory and practice to embody the impeding effect of distance on transp ...
