The literature on the use of Differencial commodity taxes/subsidies and that on quantity controls to supplement income taxation have developed separately from each other. The purpose of this paper is to combine these 2 strands in the standard framework of optimal non-linear income taxation.

We study the effect of step permeability on step instabilities on a growing vicinal face. When alternation of kinetic coefficients is taken into account, pairing of steps occurs on the vicinal face. Irrespective of the step permeability, the step pairs are stable for a wandering instability. The...

This work aims to realize a wind electrohydro- dynamical (EHD) power generator using induction electric charging with a water jet. The electrodes for induction electric charging are composed of an orifice of which inner radius is 1.5mm and a ring made of a copper wire of which diameter is 1.5mm....

The heat-integrated distillation column (HIDiC) provides one of the most effective applications of heat-pump technologies to industrial processes. It reinforces a separation process and yields larger energy savings than other methods such as overhead-to-reboiler heat pumps, which involve moving...

A number of redox systems composed of carbon and bivalent metal-ferrites, MFe2O4(M = bivalent metal ions), were studied to find the most reactive and selective working materials for a thermochemical water-decomposition cycle combined with CO production from a carbon compound. Magnetite and...

The allowance allocation under the European Emission trading schemes differs fundamentally from earlier cap and trade programs, like SO2 and NOx in the USA. Because of the iterative nature of negotiations of the overall budget, the allocation also has to follow an iterative process. If power...
