In previous papers [Spear and Young (2014, 2015)], we surveyed the origins, evolution, and dissemination of optimal growth, two-sector and turnpike models up to the early 1970s. Regarding subsequent developments in growth theory, a number of prominent observers, such as Fischer (1988), Stern (1991), and McCallum (1996), maintained that after significant progress in the 1950s and 1960s, economic growth theory “received relatively little attention for almost two decades” [Fischer (1988, p. 329)], and that “by the late 1960s early 1970s, research on the theory of growth more or less stopped” [Stern (1991, p. 259)]. Stern went on to say “the latter half of the 1980s saw a rekindling of growth theory, particularly in the work of Romer . . . and Lucas” (1991, p. 259), that is to say, in the form of “endogenous growth” models. McCallum, for his part, wrote (1996, p. 41), “After a long period of quiescence, growth economics has in the last decade (1986–1995) become an extremely active area of research.” Moreover, Brock and Mirman's (1972b) paper was the sole “extension” of Ramsey–Cass–Koopmans to a “stochastic environment” mentioned by McCallum (1996, 49).

Cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channels in skeletal muscle are responsible for insulin-activated sodium entry into this tissue (J. E. M. McGeoch and G. Guidotti. J. Biol. Chem. 267: 832–841, 1992). These channels have previously been isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle by 8-bromoguanosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (8-BrcGMP) affinity chromatography, which separates them into two populations differing in nucleotide affinity [L. C. Santy and G. Guidotti. Am. J. Physiol. 271 ( Endocrinol. Metab. 34): E1051-E1060, 1996]. In this study, a polymerase chain reaction approach was used to identify skeletal muscle cyclic nucleotide-gated channel cDNAs. Rabbit skeletal muscle expresses the same cyclic nucleotide-gated channel as rabbit aorta (M. Biel, W. Altenhofen, R. Hullin, J. Ludwig, M. Freichel, V. Flockerzi, N. Dascal, U. B. Kaupp, and F. Hofmann. FEBS Lett. 329: 134–138, 1993). The entire cDNA for this gene was cloned from rabbit skeletal muscle and an antiserum to this protein produced. Expression of this cDNA produces a 63-kDa protein with cyclic nucleotide-gated channel activity. A similarly sized immunoreactive protein is present in sarcolemma. Purification of the expressed channels reveals that this single gene produces both native skeletal muscle channel populations.

ISBN 0-415-13647-4. £40.The books analysed in this review bear witness in different ways to a revival of historians' interest in the political history of ancien régime France which was highlighted by Peter Campbell in a recent review article in this journal. Campbell speculated that what Fernand Braudel all-so-dismissively called ‘event history’ (l'histoire événementielle) was making a comeback at the expense of Annaliste geo-historical analysis in the longue durée mode or mid-term conjunctural history rooted in social and economic change. A complementary way of looking at the phenomenon, which strikes the reader on engaging with the present crop of works, is to see current historiographical interests in political history as the revenge of Alfred Cobban, progenitor in the 1950s and 1960s of famous revisionist attacks on the socio-economic analyses of the Jacobino–Marxist school of French Revolutionary historiography adorned by Mathiez, Lefebvre, and Soboul. Cobban's broadsides were aimed not simply at some of the conceptual apparatus of the ‘Marxists’, but also sought to highlight empirical research as a corrosive solvent of what he viewed as the deterministic hyperbole of politically-influenced left-wing history.

Summary In 1995, 49 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico reported 7,877 cases of rabies in nonhuman animals and 4 cases in human beings to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nearly 92% (7,247 cases) were wild animals, whereas 8% (630 cases) were domestic species. The total number of reported cases decreased 4.2% from that of 1994 (8,230 cases). Most of the decline was the result of 17.1% fewer reported cases of rabies in raccoons in areas of the Northeast, where rabies is now enzootic rather than epizootic. Exceptions to this decline were detected in states where the virus has only recently entered raccoon populations or where ongoing epizootics persist. States experiencing increasing epizootic activity associated with this variant include Maine (3 cases in 1993 to 101 cases in 1995), North Carolina (9 cases in 1990 to 466 cases in 1995), Rhode Island (1 case in 1993 to 324 cases in 1995), and Vermont (45 cases in 1993 to 179 cases in 1995). The raccoon variant of the rabies virus is now present in Alabama, Pennsylvania, Vermont, West Virginia, and all Atlantic Seaboard states from Florida to Maine. In Ohio, this variant, last detected in 1992 as a single case, was again detected in 1996. Epizootics of rabies in foxes in west central Texas and in dogs and coyotes in southern Texas attributable to canine variants continue, with this state reporting 137 rabid foxes, 55 rabid dogs, and 80 of the 83 cases in coyotes during 1995. The number of rabid bats (787) increased by almost 25%, with cases reported by 47 of the 48 contiguous states. Nationally, reported cases of rabies in cattle (136) and cats (288) increased by 22.5 and 7.9%, respectively, whereas cases in dogs (146) decreased by 4.6%. Cats continued to be the domestic animal most frequently reported rabid. The cases of rabies reported in human beings were all caused by viral variants associated with bats. Eighteen states and Puerto Rico reported decreases in rabies in animals in 1995, compared with 28 states and the District of Columbia in 1994. Hawaii was the only state that did not report a case of rabies in 1995.

This paper reexamines the relation between firm performance and board size using the data of Japanese companies. We find a significantly positive relation between firm performance and board size when the board size is small, but a significantly negative relation when the board size is large. Our finding is different from major empirical research such as the work by Yermack, Eisenberg et al. and Coles et al. [Yermack, D (1996). Higher market valuation of companies with a small board of directors. Journal of Financial Economics, 40, 185–211; Eisenberg, T, S Sundgren and MT Wells (1998). Larger board size and decreasing firm value in small firms. Journal of Financial Economics, 48, 35–54; Coles, JL, ND Daniel and L Naveen (2008). Boards: Does one size fit all? Journal of Financial Economics, 87, 329–356].The empirical results regarding the relation between firm performance and board size might depend strongly on the characteristics of firms used in a given analysis.

Piano instructors often have to work as a bridge connecting music from the past and the future. From a pedagogical viewpoint, contemporary works should be considered just as important as those in the standard repertoire. Yet, most piano instructors are skewed towards modern music and their teaching materials are focused on eighteenth and nineteenth century repertoire. It is essential for them to introduce various kinds of music from different periods and cultures in order to fully develop a student's musicianship. The purpose of this study is to compare two modern works that are designed mainly for pedagogical purposes: 32 Piano Games by Ross Lee Finney (1906-1997) and Amusements by Stephen Chatman (b. 1950). These compositions are intended for beginner and intermediate students and incorporate a number of contemporary elements and techniques. This study can help instructors and students understand how these elements are being used and the ways they have evolved over time. Most importantly, this dissertation can provide teachers with a distinct methodology that enables them to present modern pieces to beginning level students in a more approachable fashion, further providing theoretical and technical assets that will allow them to play advanced contemporary music in the future.

A binary self-dual code of length 2k is a (2k, k) binary linear code C with the property that every pair of codewords in C are orthogonal. Two binary self-dual codes of equal length, $C\sb1$ and $C\sb2,$ are said to be equivalent if and only if there exists a permutation of the coordinates of $C\sb1$ that takes $C\sb1$ into $C\sb2.$ If $C\sb1$ and $C\sb2$ are not equivalent then $C\sb1$ and $C\sb2$ are said to be inequivalent. The automorphism group of a binary linear code C is the set of all permutations of the coordinates of C that takes C into itself. The main topic in this thesis is the enumeration of lists of inequivalent binary self-dual codes. We have developed algorithms that have allowed us to enumerate lists of inequivalent binary self-dual codes of lengths up to and including 32. This is the first time a list of inequivalent binary-self dual codes of length 32 has been enumerated. Our algorithms also find the size of the automorphism group of each code.

Background As mortality rates decline, life expectancy increases, and populations age, non-fatal outcomes of diseases and injuries are becoming a larger component of the global burden of disease. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) provides a comprehensive assessment of prevalence, incidence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) for 328 causes in 195 countries and territories from 1990 to 2016. Methods We estimated prevalence and incidence for 328 diseases and injuries and 2982 sequelae, their non-fatal consequences. We used DisMod-MR 2.1, a Bayesian meta-regression tool, as the main method of estimation, ensuring consistency between incidence, prevalence, remission, and cause of death rates for each condition. For some causes, we used alternative modelling strategies if incidence or prevalence needed to be derived from other data. YLDs were estimated as the product of prevalence and a disability weight for all mutually exclusive sequelae, corrected for comorbidity and aggregated to cause level. We updated the Socio-demographic Index (SDI), a summary indicator of income per capita, years of schooling, and total fertility rate. GBD 2016 complies with the Guidelines for Accurate and Transparent Health Estimates Reporting (GATHER). Findings Globally, low back pain, migraine, age-related and other hearing loss, iron-deficiency anaemia, and major depressive disorder were the five leading causes of YLDs in 2016, contributing 57.6 million (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 40.8-75.9 million [7.2%, 6.0-8.3]), 45.1 million (29.0-62.8 million [5.6%, 4.0-7.2]), 36.3 million (25.3-50.9 million [4.5%, 3.8-5.3]), 34.7 million (23.0-49.6 million [4.3%, 3.5-5.2]), and 34.1 million (23.5-46.0 million [4.2%, 3.2-5.3]) of total YLDs, respectively. Age-standardised rates of YLDs for all causes combined decreased between 1990 and 2016 by 2.7% (95% UI 2.3-3.1). Despite mostly stagnant age-standardised rates, the absolute number of YLDs from non-communicable diseases has been growing rapidly across all SDI quintiles, partly because of population growth, but also the ageing of populations. The largest absolute increases in total numbers of YLDs globally were between the ages of 40 and 69 years. Age-standardised YLD rates for all conditions combined were 10.4% (95% UI 9.0-11.8) higher in women than in men. Iron-deficiency anaemia, migraine, Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, major depressive disorder, anxiety, and all musculoskeletal disorders apart from gout were the main conditions contributing to higher YLD rates in women. Men had higher age-standardised rates of substance use disorders, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and all injuries apart from sexual violence. Globally, we noted much less geographical variation in disability than has been documented for premature mortality. In 2016, there was a less than two times difference in age-standardised YLD rates for all causes between the location with the lowest rate (China, 9201 YLDs per 100 000, 95% UI 6862-11943) and highest rate (Yemen, 14 774 YLDs per 100 000, 11 018-19 228). Interpretation The decrease in death rates since 1990 for most causes has not been matched by a similar decline in age-standardised YLD rates. For many large causes, YLD rates have either been stagnant or have increased for some causes, such as diabetes. As populations are ageing, and the prevalence of disabling disease generally increases steeply with age, health systems will face increasing demand for services that are generally costlier than the interventions that have led to declines in mortality in childhood or for the major causes of mortality in adults. Up-todate information about the trends of disease and how this varies between countries is essential to plan for an adequate health-system response. Copyright (C) The Author(s).

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Despite significant efforts have been directed toward reducing waste generation and encouraging alternative waste management strategies, landfills still remain the main option for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) disposal in many countries. Hence, landfills and related impacts on the surroundings are still current issues throughout the world. Actually, the major concerns are related to the potential emissions of leachate and landfill gas into the environment, that pose a threat to public health, surface and groundwater pollution, soil contamination and global warming effects. To ensure environmental protection and enhance landfill sustainability, modern sanitary landfills are equipped with several engineered systems with different functions. For instance, the installation of containment systems, such as bottom liner and multi-layers capping systems, is aimed at reducing leachate seepage and water infiltration into the landfill body as well as gas migration, while eventually mitigating methane emissions through the placement of active oxidation layers (biocovers). Leachate collection and removal systems are designed to minimize water head forming on the bottom section of the landfill and consequent seepages through the liner system. Finally, gas extraction and utilization systems, allow to recover energy from landfill gas while reducing explosion and fire risks associated with methane accumulation, even though much depends on gas collection efficiency achieved in the field (range: 60-90% Spokas et al., 2006; Huitric and Kong, 2006). Hence, impacts on the surrounding environment caused by the polluting substances released from the deposited waste through liquid and gas emissions can be potentially mitigated by a proper design of technical barriers and collection/extraction systems at the landfill site. Nevertheless, the long-term performance of containment systems to limit the landfill emissions is highly uncertain and is strongly dependent on site-specific conditions such as climate, vegetative covers, containment systems, leachate quality and applied stress. Furthermore, the design and operation of leachate collection and treatment systems, of landfill gas extraction and utilization projects, as well as the assessment of appropriate methane reduction
strategies (biocovers), require reliable emission forecasts for the assessment of system feasibility and to ensure environmental compliance. To this end, landfill simulation models can represent an useful supporting tool for a better design of leachate/gas collection and treatment systems and can provide valuable information for the evaluation of best options for containment systems depending on their performances under the site-specific conditions. The capability in predicting future emissions levels at a landfill site can also be improved by combining simulation models with field observations at full-scale landfills and/or with experimental studies resembling landfill conditions. Indeed, this kind of data may allow to identify the main parameters and processes governing leachate and gas generation and can provide useful information for model refinement.
In view of such need, the present research study was initially addressed to develop a new landfill screening model that, based on simplified mathematical and empirical equations, provides quantitative estimation of leachate and gas production over time, taking into account for site-specific conditions, waste properties and main landfill characteristics and processes. In order to evaluate the applicability of the developed model and the accuracy of emissions forecast, several simulations on four full-scale landfills, currently in operative management stage, were carried out. The results of these case studies showed a good correspondence of leachate estimations with monthly trend observed in the field and revealed that the reliability of model predictions is strongly influenced by the quality of input data. In particular, the initial waste moisture content and the waste compression index, which are usually data not available from a standard characterisation, were identified as the key unknown parameters affecting leachate production. Furthermore, the applicability of the model to closed landfills was evaluated by simulating different alternative capping systems and by comparing the results with those returned by the Hydrological Evaluation of Landfill Performance (HELP), which is the most worldwide used model for comparative analysis of composite liner systems. Despite the simplified approach of the developed model, simulated values of infiltration and leakage rates through the analysed cover systems were in line with those of HELP.
However, it should be highlighted that the developed model provides an assessment of leachate and biogas production only from a quantitative point of view. The leachate and biogas composition was indeed not included in the forecast model, as strongly linked to the type of waste that makes the prediction in a screening phase poorly representative of what could be expected in the field. Hence, for a qualitative analysis of leachate and gas emissions over time, a laboratory methodology including different type of lab-scale tests was applied to a particular waste material. Specifically, the research was focused on mechanically biologically treated (MBT) wastes which, after the introduction of the European Landfill Directive 1999/31/EC (European Commission, 1999) that imposes member states to dispose of in landfills only wastes that have been preliminary subjected to treatment, are becoming the main flow waste landfilled in new Italian facilities. However, due to the relatively recent introduction of the MBT plants within the waste management system, very few data on leachate and gas emissions from MBT waste in landfills are available and, hence, the current knowledge mainly results from laboratory studies. Nevertheless, the assessment of the leaching characteristics of MBT materials and the evaluation of how the environmental conditions may affect the heavy metals mobility are still poorly investigated in literature. To gain deeper insight on the fundamental mechanisms governing the constituents release from MBT wastes, several leaching experiments were performed on MBT samples collected from an Italian MBT plant and the experimental results were modelled to obtain information on the long-term leachate emissions. Namely, a combination of experimental leaching tests were performed on fully-characterized MBT waste samples and the effect of different parameters, mainly pH and liquid to solid ratio (L/S,) on the compounds release was investigated by combining pH static-batch test, pH dependent tests and dynamic up-flow column percolation experiments. The obtained results showed that, even though MBT wastes were characterized by relatively high heavy metals content, only a limited amount was actually soluble and thus bioavailable. Furthermore, the information provided by the different tests highlighted the existence of a strong linear correlation between the release pattern of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and several metals (Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, V, Zn), suggesting that complexation to DOC is the leaching controlling mechanism of these elements. Thus, combining the results of batch and up-flow column percolation tests, partition coefficients between DOC and metals concentration were derived. These data, coupled with a simplified screening model for DOC release, allowed to get a very good prediction of metal release during the experiments and may
provide useful indications for the evaluation of long-term emissions from this type of waste in a landfill disposal scenario.
In order to complete the study on the MBT waste environmental behaviour, gas emissions from MBT waste were examined by performing different anaerobic tests. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential gas generation capacity of wastes and to assess possible implications on gas generation resulting from the different environmental conditions expected in the field. To this end, anaerobic batch tests were performed at a wide range of water contents (26-43 %w/w up to 75 %w/w on wet weight) and temperatures (from 20-25 °C up to 55 °C) in order to simulate different landfill management options (dry tomb or bioreactor landfills). In nearly all test conditions, a quite long lag-phase was observed (several months) due to the inhibition effects resulting from high concentrations of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and ammonia that highlighted a poor stability degree of the analysed material. Furthermore, experimental results showed that the initial waste water content is the key factor limiting the anaerobic biological process. Indeed, when the waste moisture was lower than 32 %w/w the methanogenic microbial activity was completely inhibited. Overall, the obtained results indicated that the operative conditions drastically affect the gas generation from MBT waste, in terms of both gas yield and generation rate. This suggests that particular caution should be paid when using the results of lab-scale tests for the evaluation of long-term behaviour expected in the field, where the boundary conditions change continuously and vary significantly depending on the climate, the landfill operative management strategies in place (e.g. leachate recirculation, waste disposal methods), the hydraulic characteristics of buried waste, the presence and type of temporary and final cover systems.

Johannesburg 2015This research report looks at the politics of memory, commemoration and representation in the new South Africa with a focus on 32-Battalion. The research draws on interviews and testimonies of ex-SADF soldiers who were members of the unit and unpacks how when considering memory and remembering, a multitude of viewpoints emerge. Factors such as the impact of the ideological transition from apartheid to democracy and the resultant impact on ex-SADF soldiers as well as the reshaping of the country’s official history which has been shaped to suit the current political climate, are considered. The research reflects on how these political processes which include exclusions of unwanted histories have affected nation building in South Africa post 1994.

The goal of this diploma thesis is to define, analyze and evaluate the most relevant areas related to the topic of European migration law and politics. Although the subject is quite broad, I try to focus on legal migration. Free movement of EU citizens could not be left out, however I concentrate mainly on position of migrating three country nationals within the EU. I compare the Czech legal system against the European legal system. The thesis has been divided into four chapters, which are further subdivided. In the first chapter the thesis brings a brief definition of the concept of migration in general, including a chronological historical excursion of the European norms connected to the migration law and a description of migration law, politics and the necessity of a suitable integration approach. The second chapter is devoted to create a characterization of the European migration legislation, competences in the field and a definition of fundamental human rights standards. This section also deals with theoretical and practical issues of European citizenship and the associated right of free movement. The third chapter is dedicated to legal issues of migration of third country nationals. From common regulation of borders, protection and criteria of entry, I move to analyze set of rights and...

Abstract For several years, policymakers have advocated the adoption of work and human resource (HR) reforms, which are often called “high-performance” or “high-involvement” work organization. A growing number of reports, which systematically measure the effects of these practices, show that there are positive effects on quality, cost, financial performance, and productivity (Berg et al., 1996; Dunlop & Weil, 1996; Hustled & Becker, 1996; Ichniowski et al., 1997; Kocher & Oysterman, 1995; U.S. Department of Labour, 1993; Womack, Jones, & Roost, 1990). Yet despite the widespread enthusiasm, the diffusion of these apparently beneficial practices seems slow. Oysterman (1994) argued that nearly one-third of firms have made significant changes, but a 1996 review of the diffusion of HR innovations suggested that although a majority of firms have made some changes, “only a small percentage of businesses ... have adopted a full set of innovative work practices” (Ichniowski et al., 1996: 325). Furthermore, many of the firms that have made innovations often introduce reforms in a partial and truncated manner (Apple Baum & Bat, 1994; Basis, 1992), and history suggests that for many firms, reforms are short-lived (Bailey, 1993a).

Abstract Georeferenced socioeconomic data sets are commonly used for example calculations in popular standard statistics books, such as Neter et al. (1996, pp.1367-69), Venables and Ripley (1994, 67, 74, 81, 127, 320), and Johnson and Wichern (1992, 392,393, 604-7, 624,626). Unfortunately, as Anselin and Griffith (1988) and Anselin and Hudak (1992) note, authors of this class of texts either gloss over (e.g., Johnson and Wichern 1992, 392) or acknowledge and then dismiss the importance of (e.g., Neter et al.1996, l 048) latent spatial dependencies. Notable exceptions are furnished by Bailey and Gatrell (1995, 249) and by Sen and Srivastava (1990), who not only recognize the presence and importance of spatial autocorrelation in georeferenced data, but also include two Chicago examples (pp. 94, 152) involving socioeconomic attribute variables, as well as a geographic connectivity matrix (p. 153). In practice, spatial effects latent in socioeconomic data increasingly are playing an explicitly important role in the everyday life of people.

Abstract Cognitive aging is not a field lacking in theoretical efforts. On the contrary, we may be suffering from too many theories. In his 1992 review of the field, Salthouse concluded, in what perhaps was a slight overstatement, that ‘there appear to be nearly as many explanations or interpretations of [age-related] deficits as there are published articles’ (p. 323). Most of these theories operate on a micro-level, that is, they pertain to only a small range of phenomena. It seems that what we need is not more theories, but a more integrated theory, that is, a set of propositions that explains more than a narrow collection of data through a limited set of mechanisms. Some such grand theories of aging have been proposed in the past (e.g. Cerella et al. 1980; Hasher and Zacks 1988; Myerson et al. 1990; Salthouse 1996), but these remain largely controversial (see, for instance, recent controversies in the Journals of Gerontology regarding generalized-slowing theories of aging; Cerella 1994; Fisk and Fisher 1994; Myerson et al. 1994; Perfect 1994; or regarding the inhibition account of aging; Burke 1997; McDowd 1997; Zacks and Hasher 1997).

Abstract The field of strategic management focuses on understanding sources of sustained competitive advantages for firms (Porter 1980, 1985; Rumelt, Schendel, and Teece 1991). A variety of factors have been shown to have an important impact on the ability of firms to obtain sustained competitive advantage. Some of these have been discussed in previous chapters of this book—including organizational culture, trust, and human resources. Information technology (IT) has also been mentioned for its possible role in creating sustained competitive advantages for firms (Clemons 1986, 1991; Clemons and Kimbrough 1986; Clemons and Row 1987, 1991a; Feeny 1988; Feeny and Ives 1990; Barney 1991a; Powell and Dent-Micallef 1997; Bharadwaj 2000; Ray 2000). While the assertion that IT might be able to create sustained competitive advantage for firms is provocative, work in this area is relatively underdeveloped, both empirically and theoretically (Jarvenpaa and Ives 1990; Powell and Dent Micallef 1997). Research on IT and competitive advantage has predominantly emphasized ‘describing how, rather than systematically why’ IT can lead to such an advantage (Reich and Benbasat 1990: 326). Accordingly, the IT literature contains case studies of spectacular IT successes, but few conceptual frameworks designed to encourage and assist IT managers with IT implementation (Powell and Dent Micallef 1997).

Abstract ProPrA is encoded by the PEP4 gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae with a 22 residue signal peptide, a 54 residue propeptide and an enzyme part of 329 residues (Ammerer et al., 1986; Woolford et al., 1986; GenBank accession numbers M13358 and M13632). The signal sequence fulfils the conventional requirements (hydrophobicity, etc.) for directing the protein across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, and the mature part of the protein is very similar to that of other aspartic proteases (e.g. 46% sequence identity to human cathepsin D). The propeptide, however, is not homologous to those of even closely related aspartic proteases (Ammerer et al., 1986; Jarai et al., 1995). PrA is modified with N-linked glycosylation at two positions in the enzyme part. Of these, one site is not always used, frequently giving rise to doublet bands on SDS-PAGE (Pedersen and Biedermann, 1993; Sorensen etal., 1994).

Abstract In Escherichia coli, misfolded proteins accumulating in the cell envelope, that is the periplasm or the outer membrane, induce a stress response that is controlled at the transcriptional level by the Er/ polymerase (Mecsas et al., 1993; Raina etal., 1995; Missiakas etal., 1996a). Unfolding of proteins is quite pronounced in strains lacking major periplasmic catalysts such as the Dsb proteins, which are involved in the formation of disulfide bonds of exported proteins (Bardwell, 1994; see entries on the Dsb proteins, pp. 318–328).

One of the first structures explored at Dura in 1920, this temple (or perhaps better, sanctuary: Buchmann 2016, 116) was subsequently completely excavated but never fully published. Preliminary accounts were written by the excavators (Cumont 1926, 29–41; PR 2, 11–12, 67–9 (Pillet), PR 4, 16–19 (Pillet); Rostovtzeff 1938, 68–75 and pl. VI) and it has been much discussed since (Downey 1988, 105–10 for overview and references; Dirven 1999, 326–49 for the Palmyrene evidence; Leriche et al. 2011, 28). It remained a temple through the Roman period, apparently no part of it other than, presumably, the upper levels of city wall Tower 1 being used for secular military purposes. However, its continued existence in the farthest corner of the military base, and its attested use for worship by the Roman military community, demand discussion here. Indeed one of the very first military discoveries was the Terentius wall painting on the N wall of the temple’s room A, depicting a Roman military sacrifice by cohors XX Palmyrenorum before a triad of its national deities and the Tychai of Dura and Palmyra (Pl. I; Breasted 1922; Cumont 1923; Breasted 1924, 94–101, pl. XXI). Cumont consequently called the sanctuary the ‘Temple of the Palmyrene Gods’ (Cumont 1926, 29). In recent decades it has been more usually known as the ‘Temple of (i.e. Palmyrene) Bêl’, following Rostovtzeff (1938, 51), although in Parthian times it was probably dedicated to Zeus (Welles 1969, 63; Millar 1998, 482; Kaizer 2002, 122). No evidence indicates Palmyrene worship in the Parthian-era temple (Dirven 1999, 327–8). There is no consensus on the name for the sanctuary, so I follow MFSED’s ‘Temple of Bêl’ (Leriche et al. 2011, 28; also now Kaizer 2016b, 37–41). Described as laying in ‘J3/5’ by the Yale expedition, it actually lies N of these blocks in an area MFSED has labelled J9 (Leriche et al. 2011, 28–30). During the third century when the temple lay within the Roman base area, it did become the focus of Palmyrene cults, likely ‘related to Palmyrene soldiers or people associated with them’ (Dirven 1999, 328).

Abstract Full length cDNAs of small GTP-binding proteins were inserted into PGEM1 under the control of the T7 promotor as described previously (Chavrier et al. 1990; Huber et al. 1993). GTP-binding proteins were then transiently expressed in BHK 21 cells with the T7 RNA polymeraserecombinant vaccinia virus system (Fuerst et al. 1986; Chavrier et al. 1990; Huber et al. 1993, 1994b). Cells were scraped and fractionated 5 hours after infection/transfection and membrane fractions applied to high resolution 2D-gel electrophoresis. After renaturing transfer to nitrocellulose the blots were overlaid with [a-32P] GTP and the GTP-binding profiles visualized by autoradiography.

Abstract Beta 2-microglobulin ([32m) derived amyloid is found in patients with impaired renal function either as urinary concretions or as systemic, mostly osteoarticular, deposits. Such amyloid is rarely seen in the predialysis phase (Linke et al. 1986; Moriniere et al. 1991), but is a very common complication after institution of dialysis (Campistol et al. 1990; Ritz and Bommer 1988). Generation of amyloid is dependent on increased plasma [32m concentrations. The increase of plasma [32m concentration is mainly due to diminished renal excretion of the 11.8 kDa microprotein which is normally eliminated via glomerular filtration (Vincent and Revillard 1980). The high plasma [32m concentrations in dialysed patients may not simply be the result of renal retention.

Abstract The Serbo-Montenegrian hyperinflation of 1992-4 is the second fastest in history. In January 1994, the culminating month of the hyperinflation, consumer prices increased 310 million per cent per month, compared with a maximum monthly rate of 30 thousand per cent per month in the great German hyperinflation of 1923. The average monthly inflation rate was 1,660 per cent exceeding Greece, 1943-4 (1,070 per cent) and Germany, 1922-3 (320 per cent), and second only to Hungary II, 1946 (360,000 per cent per month).

Researchers have tried to assess the morphological and mechanical characteristics of bone using various methods with a limited success (Mow and Hayes, 1997, and Cowin, 2001). This may be due to the complexity for documentation and characterization of architecture by the anisotropic and nonhomogeneous characteristic of the bone. The bones of the shoulder joint complex are particularly deprived of information on their mechanical and morphological properties. Very little is known for example on the mechanics and morphology of the glenoid of the shoulder. The present work presents an attempt to identify a proper method for the measurement and characterization of the morphology and mechanics of bone, particularly in the glenoid. Our results show that trabecular lines are directed at 82.15° ± 7.98° relative to the glenoid articular surface, young’s modulus obtained from CT scan was 230 ± 8 MP, and the elastic tensors obtained from cadaver were 326 ± 78 MPa for E2222, 144 ± 22 MPa for E1111=E3333, 49 ± 7 MPa for E3311, 59 ± 9 MPa for E1122=E2233, 51 ± 8 MPa for E1313, and 70 ± 10 MPa for E1212=E2323. These results were consistent with Wolf’s Law and were in agreement with results reported in literatures (Anglin et al., 1999, Frich et al., 1998, and Mansat et al., 1998).

The Taurus gas turbine was first introduced in 1989 with ratings of 6200 HP for single shaft and 6500 HP for twin shaft configurations. A new design of the single shaft third stage turbine rotor and exhaust diffuser brought its power to 6500 HP in 1991. A program was initiated early in 1992 to identify opportunities to further optimize performance of the Taurus. Thorough investigation of performance sensitivity to thermodynamic cycle parameters has resulted in significant improvement over the original design with no change in firing temperature. Aerodynamic and mechanical design changes were implemented in 1993 which raised Taurus performance to 7000 HP and 32% thermal efficiency. Selection of the final design configuration was the outcome of performance maximization versus cost increase, durability risk and loss of commonality with previous engines. This paper details these changes and the design selection process.

Abstract The objective of this paper is to present an instrumentation and data analysis method developed to determine a nonlinear viscoelastic model of brain tissue using a forced vibration technique. The application of this model is mainly for studying the injury mechanisms of brain tissue resulting from impacts to the head. Since the early 1950s several attempts have been recorded to model the mechanical behavior of brain tissue. Investigators have used a variety of quasi-static and dynamic experimental techniques in their studies and there is a general agreement that brain exhibits viscoelastic characteristics (Galford and McElhaney, 1969). However, there are three major limitations associated with most of the previous studies. First is the limitation of boundary and environmental conditions. By applying small strains (less than 10%), most researchers have explained their experimental results with linear models (Shuck and Advani, 1972). However, biomechanical models show that shear strains up to 100% occur in brain in impact situations (Ueno et al., 1996). To include finite deformation, a nonlinear model is needed to characterize the biomechanics of impact and injury of the brain tissue. Although viscoelastic material properties are generally very sensitive to temperature (Haddad, 1995), the effect of temperature on brain material properties has not been investigated in the previous studies. Most in vitro tests have been performed in the room temperature and only a few in vivo studies have been reported (Fallenstein et al., 1969; Wang and Wineman, 1972). The effect of gravity has not been addressed in the previous studies. The brain sample is so soft that it creeps under its own weight, which causes pre-stress and pre-strain in the sample (Takhounts, 1998). The second limitation is with regard to the constitutive models. A few researchers, who have investigated the nonlinear behavior of the brain tissue, have presented the results of their studies in some special forms of stress-strain relationships (Donnely, 1993). These relationships are generally dependent on the type of experiment and can not be used for other types of loading and deformation. In order to develop an analytical or numerical model of brain, a three-dimensional constitutive relation is required that is independent of the type of experiment. The third limitation is the experimental methods. In the stress relaxation test method, due to hardware and inertial limitations, the jump of ideal step input is usually simulated with high-speed ramp input (Takhounts, 1998). Therefore, time constants that are shorter than the ramp time interval (about 0.04 s) can not be identified in the relaxation response. The small time constants have a significant effect in the short time response of the material, which is of primary interest in the biomechanics of impact and injury. On the other hand, due to inertial effects, the transient vibration of the system perturbs the first portion (about 400 ms) of the relaxation curve (Takhounts, 1998). In the ramp test method also, due to the initial acceleration period, the short time constants can not be measured correctly (Donnely, 1993). Previous studies based on the forced vibration technique, due to hardware limitations, have been performed in the frequency range of 5–350 Hz with strain levels of up to 35% (Shuck and Advani, 1972; Arbogast et al., 1997). These results have been used to develop linear viscoelastic models for shear with time constants in the range of 0.4 to 32 milliseconds. In the method presented in this paper, the goal was to develop a viscoelastic model of brain tissue that is free from the constraints discussed above. The samples are taken from fresh human and bovine brain tissues (maximum 24 hours after death or slaughter). Samples are cut with cylindrical metal cores (5–20 mm diameter) from different parts of the brain tissue and in transverse and vertical anatomic directions. Using the same experimental apparatus, cylindrical samples with the length of 5–30 mm are studied in both simple extension and in simple shear modes. In order to study the effect of temperature, canceling the effect of gravity and minimizing material deterioration, each sample is placed in a temperature controlled slow flow of saline solution throughout the experiment. An electromechanical vibrator with frequency response of dc-6500 Hz and maximum force of 65lb is used to apply the input displacement to one end of the specimen. The characteristics of the vibrator allow the identification of a wide range of time constants of the brain tissue (from 80 μs to 1.6 s) in a wide range of strain inputs (infinitesimal to 100%). The reaction force at the other end of the specimen is recorded via a miniature high precision load cell. As shown in figure 1, the analog signals of the load cell, an accelerometer that measures the motion of the vibrator, and a thermocouple that measures the temperature of the sample are collected via an isolated analog to digital converter in a personal computer. Via a digital to analog converter, the computer also controls the motion of the vibrator. The whole system works as a closed loop control system. The resultant forces of a simple harmonic displacement input and also the superposition of a series of simple harmonic inputs are analyzed in the frequency domain to generate linear, quasilinear and nonlinear third order Green-Rivlin viscoelastic models of the brain tissue (Fung, 1993 and Lockett, 1972). In addition, square wave and triangular wave inputs are applied to study the relaxation and hysteresis phenomena. The lateral movement of the samples is recorded with a high-speed camera and digital image analysis. The results obtained from the samples in transverse and vertical directions are used to develop three-dimensional transversely isotropic models. Preliminary experiments, as shown in figure 2, show that for low strain levels below 10%, linear viscoelastic model describes the short time behavior of brain tissue to a high degree of accuracy. For strain levels between 10% to 40% and short relaxation times below 100 ms, a quasilinear model can be used that only considers the strain nonlinearity of the material. Assuming that the effect of a single relaxation exponential function, after passing four time constants, is negligible, 100 ms relaxation time corresponds to the frequency of 6.4 Hz. For higher strain levels (up to 100%) and longer relaxation times (up to 5 s) or lower frequencies (below 6.4 Hz), a third order Green-Rivlin model, which includes both strain and time nonlinearity, should be used. The discrete spectrum approximation is used to represent the relaxation functions. It is shown that by using this form, the nonlinear models can be easily implemented in numerical algorithms that can be used in finite element programs (Puso and Weiss, 1998). A complete set of tests on a single specimen takes between 15–30 minutes. Therefore, multiple sections from a whole brain can be analyzed in a few hours, which minimizes the effect of material deterioration.

Abstract We apply a special theory of an incompressible mixture of an elastic solid and an inviscid fluid (Klisch and Lotz, 1998) to experimental data for healthy human annulus fibrosus tested in a stress-relaxation confined compression protocol. The material constants revealed no significant differences due to orientation (i.e., axial vs. radial, n = 16). The aggregate modulus and initial permeability constants were significantly different (n = 32) due to the choice of theory used to fit the data (i.e., that of Klisch and Lotz (1998) vs. that of Holmes and Mow (1990)) and were significantly correlated with initial water content.

The National Park Service (NPS) began monitoring landbirds at Channel Islands National Park in 1993 as part of its long-term inventory and monitoring program. The park’s landbird monitoring later became part of the NPS Inventory and Monitoring Division’s Mediterranean Coast Network long-term monitoring programs. Consequently, landbird monitoring has been conducted during every breeding season since 1993. In this report, we summarize data collected during the 2021 breeding season and we analyze trends in a select number of species. Landbird monitoring was conducted between 10 March and 22 May 2021. Using distance-based sampling methods in a standardized protocol, birds were counted on 334 of 338 permanent point count stations (99%) across the Channel Islands monitored for landbirds. These surveys were conducted at 29 of 33 points on Santa Barbara Island, 8 of 8 on East Anacapa Islet, 112 of 112 on Santa Cruz Island, 40 of 40 on San Miguel Island, and 145 of 145 on Santa Rosa Island. Four points on Santa Barbara Island were not counted due to nesting California Brown Pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis) and Western Gulls (Larus occidentalis); 3 of 4 points (i.e., 17, 19, and 20) were also not counted in 2016–2021 to avoid disturbing breeding pelicans. This was the first monitoring season that the permanent line transects on Santa Barbara, East Anacapa, and San Miguel Islands were not surveyed. During the 2021 monitoring season, Channel Islands National Park decided to stop using line transects and focus on point count stations only, based on an external review of the landbird monitoring program. Fifty-six bird species were counted at point count stations across all of the islands in 2021. Parkwide, 40 of these species are breeders in Channel Islands National Park. Parkwide, the 10 most detected breeding landbirds in 2021 were, in descending order: Spotted Towhee, Song Sparrow, Bewick’s Wren, Orange-crowned Warbler, House Finch, Western Meadowlark, Horned Lark, Common Raven, Island Scrub-Jay, and Pacific-slope Flycatcher (scientific names in Table 2 and Appendix A). On East Anacapa Islet, 26 landbird species have been counted since 1993; 7 species were counted in 2021. No new transient species were detected in 2021; 6 transient or visiting species have been counted on the island overall since 1993. On Santa Barbara Island, 50 landbird species have been counted since 1993; 13 species were counted in 2021. Lincoln’s Sparrow was a new transient species counted in 2021 on Santa Barbara; 23 transient or visiting species have been counted on the island since 1993. On Santa Cruz Island, 78 landbird species have been counted since 2013; 45 species were counted in 2021. Hermit Warbler, Lawrence’s Goldfinch and Warbling Vireo were new transient species counted in 2021 on Santa Cruz Island; 21 transient or visiting species have been counted on this island since 2013. On San Miguel Island, 70 landbird species have been counted since 1993; 10 were counted in 2021. No transient species were counted in 2021; 32 transient or visiting species have been counted on the island since 1993. On Santa Rosa Island, 78 landbird species have been counted since 1994; 39 were detected in 2021. No new transient species were counted in 2021 on Santa Rosa; 21 transient or visiting species have been counted on the island since 1994. Nonnative and invasive birds were counted on only 1 of the 5 islands in 2021: 23 European Starlings on Santa Rosa Island. However, anecdotal sightings of nonnative species occurred more frequently (i.e., outside of survey times) on Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa Islands in 2021. The highest numbers of nonnative species detections occurred on Santa Rosa Island, with 25 detections of Eurasian Collared Dove (primarily at the Historic Ranch), 18 detections of European Starling (Historic Ranch), 2 detections of Brown-headed Cowbird, and 1 Rock Pigeon detection (Historic Ranch). Other species were not reported by Channel Islands National Park landbird monitors or in eBird in 2021. This was the first annual monitoring report since the Coonan and Dye (2016) trend report to incorporate density estimates for particular species across Channel Islands National Park. Parkwide, 13 species were analyzed using the Distance Package in R. Of the 13 species analyzed, 5 had either increasing or decreasing densities from 2016 to 2021. All park islands except for Santa Barbara had a species that showed an increasing or decreasing trend from 2016 to 2021. Horned Lark and House Finch on San Miguel Island were the only species to show decreasing trends from 2016 to 2021, which is opposite from the trend presented by Coonan and Dye (2016).

The National Park Service (NPS) began monitoring landbirds at Channel Islands National Park in 1993 as part of its long-term inventory and monitoring program. The park?s landbird monitoring later became part of the NPS Inventory and Monitoring Division?s Mediterranean Coast Network long-term monitoring programs. Consequently, landbird monitoring has been conducted in the park during every breeding season since 1993. In this report, we summarize data collected during the 2020 breeding season. Landbird monitoring was conducted between 1 April and 30 June 2020. Using distance-based sampling methods in a standardized protocol, birds were counted on 7 of 10 permanent line transects (70%) (2 of 3 on Santa Barbara Island, 1 of 1 on East Anacapa Island, and 4 of 5 on San Miguel Island). Two transects were not sampled in 2020 because of nesting California Brown Pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis) on Santa Barbara Island (i.e., Canyons Transect) and reduced person hours and unfavorable winds on San Miguel Island (i.e., San Miguel Hill Transect). For point counts, 225 of 338 (67%) permanent stations were counted (i.e., 30 of 33 points on Santa Barbara Island, 8 of 8 on East Anacapa Island, 100 of 112 on Santa Cruz Island, 40 of 40 on San Miguel Island, and 47 of 145 on Santa Rosa Island). The 8 Prisoners? Cove points were not counted in 2020. Three points were not counted on Santa Barbara Island due to nesting pelicans: these points and the transect were also not counted in 2016?2019 to avoid disturbing breeding pelicans. Other points (i.e., on east Santa Cruz Island and Santa Rosa Island) were not counted due in large part to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Traveling to and from the park was only granted to essential NPS staff for the majority of the landbird season. Fifty-one bird species were counted from points and transects across all of the islands in 2020; 39 of these are breeding species on the island. Parkwide, the 10 most commonly detected breeding landbirds in 2020 were, in descending order: Horned Lark, Spotted Towhee, Song Sparrow, White-crowned Sparrow, Western Meadowlark, Orange-crowned Warbler, Bewick?s Wren, Island Scrub-Jay, House Finch, and Common Raven. On East Anacapa Island, 26 landbird species have been counted since 1993; 5 species were counted in 2020. No new transient species were detected in 2020; 10 transient or visiting species (nonbreeding, native species recorded only once or twice during surveys) have been counted on the island overall since 1993. On Santa Barbara Island, 49 landbird species have been counted since 1993; 15 species were counted in 2020. The highest number of Horned Lark since 1993 were counted in 2020 (n = 451). Warbling Vireo was a new transient species counted in 2020 on Santa Barbara; 30 transient or visiting species have been counted on the island since 1993. On Santa Cruz Island, 74 landbird species have been counted since 2013; 34 species were counted in 2020. Bullock?s Oriole was a new transient species counted in 2020 on Santa Cruz; 21 transient or visiting species have been counted on this island since 2013. On San Miguel Island, 69 landbird species have been counted since 1993; 14 were counted in 2020. No transient species were counted in 2020; 34 transient or visiting species have been counted on the island since 1993. On Santa Rosa Island, 75 landbird species have been counted since 1994; 26 were detected in 2020. Rose-breasted Grosbeak was a new transient species counted in 2020 on Santa Rosa Island; 30 transient or visiting species have been counted on the island since 1994. Across all the 5 islands, 3 transient or visiting bird species were newly counted in 2020, for a total of 77 such species counted since NPS monitoring began on the islands. Nonnative and invasive birds were counted on only 1 of the 5 islands in 2020: 4 European Starlings on Santa Rosa Island. However, anecdotal sightings of nonnative species occurred much more frequently (i.e., outside of the point and transect counts), and were made on all islands except Anacapa in 2020. The highest numbers of nonnative species detections occurred on Santa Cruz Island, with 33 detections of Eurasian Collared Dove (primarily at the Main Ranch area in the Central Valley), 15 detections of Brown-headed Cowbird (primarily at Scorpion Harbor), and 15 detections of European Starling (primarily at the Main Ranch and Scorpion Harbor). House Sparrows were observed fewer times, but on all islands except Anacapa; cowbirds occurred on all islands except Anacapa and San Miguel; and Rock Pigeon occurred on Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz Islands. In 2020, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, 67% of all points and 77% of all transects were counted among the 5 islands. Santa Rosa received the lightest sampling of points (32%), due to the difficulty of getting observers onto the island. Even with diminished sampling, species richness (number of species) values fell in predictable patterns: richness was greatest on the larger islands (75 on Santa Rosa, 73 on Santa Cruz) and least on the smallest islands (26 on Anacapa, 48 on Santa Barbara). We continue to recommend that nonnative invasive species, such as European Starlings on Santa Rosa Island, be removed before their numbers become harder to manage. Also, because Distance analyses assist statistically with evaluations of trends, we continue to recommend that a trend analysis using program DISTANCE, or newer hierarchical distance analyses, should be used after the 2020 season to assess 5-year trends in breeding species? numbers following the 2015 trend analysis conducted by Coonan and Dye (2016).

This Country Program Evaluation (CPE) with Chile covers the 2011-2013 period and is the third occasion on which the Office of Evaluation and Oversight (OVE) has evaluated the Bank's program with the country. The previous evaluations covered the periods 1995- 2005 (document RE-320) and 2006-2010 (document RE-380-1). The current country strategy (document GN-2642-1) was approved in December 2011 and is for a period (2011-2014) that does not coincide with the country¿s political cycle. The administration of President Piñera was in office from March 2010 to March 2014. IDB Management expects to submit a new country strategy to the Board of Executive Directors in August 2014. The evaluation is structured into four chapters, plus annexes. Chapter I analyzes the general context in the country. Chapter II provides a general analysis of the Bank's program in 2011-2013, with particular reference to the relevance of the country strategy, and an analysis of the program actually implemented. Chapter III provides a sector-based analysis of the implementation, effectiveness, and sustainability of the operations and of the progress achieved towards the Bank's proposed strategic objectives. Chapter IV presents conclusions and recommendations.

This study will analyze the determinants of environmental performance in the Brazilian industrial sector. It uses a database conducted by the Brazilian National Confederation of Industries inquiring about questions on environmental management over 325 medium and large firms referred to the year 1997. We have been able to test three proxies of environmental performance, such as: a weighted average number of environmental control practices, environmental investments and operational cost ratios, controlling for actual data on market incentives and enforcement pressures as well as for declared motivations. Our results suggest that the Harrington paradox can be observed in Brazil when a compliance-dependent regime motivates firms to compliance with low sanction level. Consistent with results in the main literature, our study confirms that, apart from some expected characteristics of the firm, as size, sector and foreign ties, demands from communities and market incentives are also very influential determinants. Cost savings on inputs and subsidized credit are found equally important. Based on that, we recommend flexible instruments on pollution control that capture the firm¿s differentials in characteristics and compliance levels as well as dissemination of information on environmental control and related cost saving opportunities.

Mineral resources of Baffin Island include iron (Mary River), diamonds, carbonate-hosted zinc and lead (Nanisivik), nickel, copper, platinum group elements, uranium, thorium, gemstones (sapphire, spinel, lapis lazuli), carving stone, and coal. Iron deposits include the Mary River No. 1 to 4 deposits of northern Baffin Island, which came into production in 2015 and contain 586 Mt grading 66% Fe. The Mesoproterozoic Borden Basin hosts the Nanisivik deposit, mined between 1976 and 2002; this is a Mississippi Valley-type deposit and contains 9.0% Zn, 0.7% Pb, and 41 ppm Ag. Diamond-rich kimberlite occurs as sheets and small pipes at Chidliak on Hall Peninsula; largest by area is the CH-1 (6 ha) pipe. At least 32 carving-stone localities are known; 7 communities on Baffin Island have good access to quarried material. Coal occurs in the Cretaceous-Paleogene Eclipse Trough of Bylot and northwestern Baffin islands. Exposures near Pond Inlet have been excavated for local use.

International trade occurs in physical space and moving goods requires time. This paper examines the importance of time as a trade barrier, estimates the magnitude of time costs, and relates these to patterns of trade and the international organization of production. Estimates indicate that each additional day spent in transport reduces the probability that the US will source from that country by 1 – 1.5 percent. Conditional on exporting country, estimates directly identify a willingness-to-pay for time savings using variation across exporters and commodities in the relative price / speed tradeoff for air and ocean shipping. Each day saved in shipping time is worth 0.8 percent ad-valorem for manufactured goods. Relative declines over time in air shipping prices make time-savings less expensive, providing a compelling explanation for aggregate trade growth, compositional effects in trade growth, as well as growth in time-intensive forms of integration such as vertical specialization. Specifically, the advent of fast transport (air shipping and faster ocean vessels) is equivalent to reducing tariffs on manufactured goods from 32% to 9% between 1950-1998.

Este documento fue comisionado por la Red de Medio Ambiente del Diálogo Regional de Política para la I Reunión Hemisférica, celebrada los días 4 y 5 de abril, 2002. Este estudio analiza los determinantes del desempeño ambiental en el sector industrial brasileño. Utiliza una base de datos conducida por la Confederación Nacional Brasileña de Industrias investigando cuestiones de gestión ambiental en 325 firmas medianas y grandes referidas al año 1997. Hemos podido probar tres variables sustitutivas de desempeño ambiental, tales como: un número promedio ponderado de prácticas de control ambiental, inversiones ambientales y proporciones de costos de operación, con controles de datos reales en cuanto a incentivos de mercado y presiones de cumplimiento así como de motivaciones declaradas. Nuestros resultados sugieren que la paradoja de Harrington puede observarse en Brasil cuando un régimen dependiente del cumplimiento motiva a las firmas a cumplir con un bajo nivel de sanción. De manera consistente con los resultados en la literatura principal, nuestro estudio confirma que, aparte de algunas características esperadas de la firma, tales como tamaño, sector y lazos extranjeros, las demandas de las comunidades y los incentivos de mercado también son determinantes muy influyentes. Ahorros en insumos y subsidios de crédito son igualmente importantes. Con base en eso, recomendamos instrumentos flexibles sobre control de contaminación que capturen los diferenciales de la firma en características y niveles de cumplimiento así como la diseminación de información sobre control ambiental y oportunidades de ahorro relacionadas.

A fundamental responsibility of the National Park Service is to ensure that park resources are preserved, protected, and managed in consideration of the resources themselves and for the benefit and enjoyment by the public. Through the inventory, monitoring, and study of park resources, we gain a greater understanding of the scope, significance, distribution, and management issues associated with these resources and their use. This baseline of natural resource information is available to inform park managers, scientists, stakeholders, and the public about the conditions of these resources and the factors or activities which may threaten or influence their stability. There are several different categories of geologic or stratigraphic units (supergroup, group, formation, member, bed) which represent a hierarchical system of classification. The mapping of stratigraphic units involves the evaluation of lithologies, bedding properties, thickness, geographic distribution, and other factors. If a new mappable geologic unit is identified, it may be described and named through a rigorously defined process that is standardized and codified by the professional geologic community (North American Commission on Stratigraphic Nomenclature 2005). In most instances when a new geologic unit such as a formation is described and named in the scientific literature, a specific and well-exposed section of the unit is designated as the type section or type locality (see Definitions). The type section is an important reference section for a named geologic unit which presents a relatively complete and representative profile for this unit. The type or reference section is important both historically and scientifically, and should be recorded such that other researchers may evaluate it in the future. Therefore, this inventory of geologic type sections in NPS areas is an important effort in documenting these locations in order that NPS staff recognize and protect these areas for future studies. The documentation of all geologic type sections throughout the 423 units of the NPS is an ambitious undertaking. The strategy for this project is to select a subset of parks to begin research for the occurrence of geologic type sections within particular parks. The focus adopted for completing the baseline inventories throughout the NPS was centered on the 32 inventory and monitoring networks (I&M) established during the late 1990s. The I&M networks are clusters of parks within a defined geographic area based on the ecoregions of North America (Fenneman 1946; Bailey 1976; Omernik 1987). These networks share similar physical resources (geology, hydrology, climate), biological resources (flora, fauna), and ecological characteristics. Specialists familiar with the resources and ecological parameters of the network, and associated parks, work with park staff to support network level activities (inventory, monitoring, research, data management). Adopting a network-based approach to inventories worked well when the NPS undertook paleontological resource inventories for the 32 I&M networks. The network approach is also being applied to the inventory for the geologic type sections in the NPS. The planning team from the NPS Geologic Resources Division who proposed and designed this inventory selected the Greater Yellowstone Inventory and Monitoring Network (GRYN) as the pilot network for initiating this project. Through the research undertaken to identify the geologic type sections within the parks of the GRYN, methodologies for data mining and reporting on these resources was established. Methodologies and reporting adopted for the GRYN have been used in the development of this type section inventory for the Chihuahuan Desert Inventory & Monitoring Network. The goal of this project is to consolidate information pertaining to geologic type sections which occur within NPS-administered areas, in order that this information is available throughout the NPS...
