Dynamic relationship analysis between NAFTA stock markets using nonlinear, nonparametric, non-stationary methods
(Springer Nature, 2019)
This paper seeks to investigate the dynamic relationship between daily stock market indices in NAFTA countries from 8 November 1991 to 16 March 2018, using for the first time nonlinear, nonparametric, non-stationary methods. ...
Uncertainties in the value and opportunity costs of pollination services
(British Ecological Society, 2019)
Pollination is an ecosystem service that directly contributes to agricultural production, and can therefore provide a strong incentive to conserve natural habitats that support pollinator populations. However, we have yet ...
Practical solutions for bottlenecks in ecosystem services mapping
(2018)
A selection of commonly encountered ES mapping bottlenecks that relate to seven themes: i) map-maker map-user interaction; ii) nomenclature and ontologies; iii) skills and background; iv) data and maps availability; v) ...
Greener and Fairer: A Progressive Environmental Tax Reform for Spain
(IAEE, 2019)
Environmental externalities call for the use of environmental taxes to
get prices right and thereby reduce environmental pressures. To date,
however, the Spanish government makes only limited use of environmental
...
From principles to practice in paying for nature
(Springer Nature, 2018)
Payments for Environmental Services (PES) constitute an innovative economic intervention to counteract the global loss of biodiversity and ecosystem functions. In theory, some appealing features should enable PES to perform ...
Cascading effects associated with climate-change-induced conifer mortality in mountain temperate forests result in hot-spots of soil CO 2 emissions
(Elsevier, 2019)
Climate change-induced tree mortality is occurring worldwide, at increasingly larger scales and with increasing frequency. How climate change-induced tree mortality could affect the ecology and carbon (C) sink capacity of ...
Streamflow response of a small forested catchment on different timescales
(Copernicus Gesellschaft, 2013)
The hydrological response of a catchment to rainfall on different timescales is result of a complex system involving a range of physical processes which may operate simultaneously and have different spatial and temporal ...
The role of acetaldehyde in the increased acceptance of ethanol after prenatal ethanol exposure
(Merce Correa, Jaume I University, Spain, 2017-01-31)
Recent studies show that acetaldehyde, the first metabolite in the oxidation of ethanol, can be responsible for both, the appetitive and the aversive effects produced by ethanol intoxication. More specifically, it has been ...
Co-Catalyzed C(sp3)−H Oxidative Coupling of Glycine and Peptide Derivatives
(American Chemical Society, 2017-09-22)
obalt-catalyzed selectiveα-alkylation andα-heteroarylation processes ofα-amino esters and peptide derivativesare described. These cross-dehydrogenative reactions occur undermild conditions and allow for the rapid assembly ...
Relativistic force between fast electrons and planar targets
(IOP Publishing, 2014-07-30)
The full retarded electromagnetic force experienced by swift electrons moving parallel to planar boundaries is revisited, for both metallic and dielectric targets, with special emphasis on the consequences in electron ...
