Toxic Effects of Cadmium (Cd) and Lead (Pb) on Growth and Productivity of Arachis Hypogaea (L) and Glycine Max (L)
Fatoba, Paul O.; Ogunkunle, Clement O.; Salihu, Bolaji Z. - In: Journal of Asian Scientific Research 2 (2012) 5, pp. 254-259
A study was conducted to determine the effects of different concentrations of cadmium and lead on the growth and productivity of Arachis hypogaea and Glycine max. Seeds were sown on soils irrigated with 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40ppm concentrations of cadmium and lead. Growth and productivity indices...

Modeling the impacts of irrigation treatments on potato growth and development
Camargo, D.C.; Montoya, F.; Córcoles, J.I.; Ortega, J.F. - In: Agricultural Water Management 150 (2015) C, pp. 119-128
We analyze the effects of four irrigation treatments on the growth and development of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) cv Agria, using a pivot irrigation system in the province of Albacete (Castilla-La Mancha, Spain), during 2011 and 2012. We find no significant differences between irrigation...

Impact of first-birth career interruption on earnings: Evidence from administrative data
Hotchkiss, Julie. L; Pitts, M. Melinda; Walker, Mary Beth - 2014
This paper uses unique administrative data to expand the understanding of the role women's intermittency decisions play … in the determination of their wages. We demonstrate that treating intermittency as exogenous significantly overstates its … impact. The intermittency penalty also increases in the education level of the woman. The penalty for a woman with a high …

Willingness to Pay for Solar Panels and Smart Grids
Durmaz, Tunç; Pommeret, Aude; Ridley, Ian - 2017
It is expected that the renewable share of energy generation will rise considerably in the near future. The intermittent and uncertain nature of renewable energy (RE) calls for storage and grid management technologies that can allow for increased power system flexibility. To assist policy makers...

Buffering volatility: Storage investments and technology-specific renewable energy support
Abrell, Jan; Rausch, Sebastian; Streitberger, Clemens - 2019
Mitigating climate change will require integrating large amounts of highly intermittent renewable energy (RE) sources in future electricity markets. Considerable uncertainties exist about the cost and availability of future large-scale storage to alleviate the potential mismatch between demand...

Intermittent versus dispatchable power sources: An integrated competitive assessment
Glenk, Gunther; Reichelstein, Stefan - 2021
The cost and revenue earnings potential of alternative power generation sources has shifted considerably in recent years. Here we introduce the concept of Levelized Profit Margins (LPM) to capture the changing unit economics of both intermittent and dispatchable generation technologies. We apply...
