Competing Ecosystem Services: an Assessment of Carbon and Timber in the Tropical Forests of Central America
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-10-07)
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA 2005) has classified a number of ecosystems good and services (EGS) provided by tropical forests, namely cultural, provisioning, regulatory and support services. The primary focus ...
Energy Supply and the Sustainability of Endogenous Growth
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-07-13)
The paper provides an introduction to energy and, respective resource use within the framework of endogenous growth models. We provide an overview of different modeling approaches as well as intuition with respect to the ...
Local and Global Externalities, Environmental Policies and Growth
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-10-25)
The paper analyzes the implications of local and global pollution when two types of abatement activities can be undertaken. One type reduces solely local pollution (e.g., use of particulate matter filters) while the other ...
ICT Applications in the Research for Environmental Sustainability
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-11-08)
Whether Information and Communication Technology (ICT) constitutes a threat to or a cure for environmental deterioration is a matter of controversy. Empirical evidence on the impacts of ICT is rare, so few generalisable ...
Economic Assessment of Forest Ecosystem Services Losses: Cost of Policy Inaction
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-09-13)
This paper presents a bottom-up methodological framework for estimating some of the key ecosystem services provided by forests biomes worldwide. We consider the provision of wood and non-wood forest products, recreation ...
α2,3-Sialyltransferase ST3Gal III Modulates Pancreatic Cancer Cell Motility and Adhesion In Vitro and Enhances Its Metastatic Potential In Vivo
(Public Library of Science, 2010-09-01)
Background: Cell surface sialylation is emerging as an important feature of cancer cell metastasis. Sialyltransferase expression has been reported to be altered in tumours and may account for the formation of sialylated ...

Fixed Point and Best Proximity Theorems under Two Classes of Integral-Type Contractive Conditions in Uniform Metric Spaces
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
This paper investigates the existence of fixed points and best proximity points of p-cyclic self-maps on a set of subsets of a certain uniform space under integral-type contractive conditions. The parallel properties of ...
Global Stability of Polytopic Linear Time-Varying Dynamic Systems under Time-Varying Point Delays and Impulsive Controls
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
This paper investigates the stability properties of a class of dynamic linear systems possessing several linear time-invariant parameterizations (or configurations) which conform a linear time-varying polytopic dynamic ...
Methodological keys for the acquisition and long-term use of photographic collections representing elements of Heritage
(Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archeology (CAA), 2010-04)
[EN] Photographic pictures contain high-resolution information about the elements of
Heritage and they can be obtained at a low cost. Besides, they can be used metrically with different degrees of accuracy: from the ...
