Intra-Golgi transport: escalator or bucket brigade?
1. The Problem One of the great debates of current cell biology is centered around a puzzling dilemma that lies at the very heart of the Golgi apparatus: How can the structural and functional integrity of this organelle be maintained in face of a constant flux of secretory products through its midst? This question relates to the different roles that the Golgi plays in the secretory pathway. It ...
متن کاملA New Token Bucket DiffServ Policy for Web Traffic
DiffServ policies have traditionally been applied to several types of Internet traffic like HTTP, FTP and CBR. DiffServ policies concerning HTTP traffic are commonly focused on preferential treatment of short flows, which are more sensitive to Internet delays and congestion, whereas long flows are penalized by the application of besteffort policies. This differentiation may produce low global p...
متن کاملUncertainty in climate science and climate policy
This essay, written by a statistician and a climate scientist, describes our view of the gap that exists between current practice in mainstream climate science, and the practical needs of policymakers charged with exploring possible interventions in the context of climate change. By ‘mainstream’ we mean the type of climate science that dominates in universities and research centres, which we wi...
متن کاملDesigning Climate Mitigation Policy
Global warming is one of the most critical, and also most daunting, challenges facing policymakers in the twenty-first century. Assessing a globally efficient time path for pricing or controlling greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is difficult enough, with huge scientific uncertainties, disagreement over the ultimate goals of climate policy, and disagreement over which countries should bear most re...
متن کاملAmbiguity and climate policy
Economic evaluation of climate policy traditionally treats uncertainty by appealing to expected utility theory. Yet our knowledge of the impacts of climate policy may not be of sufficient quality to justify probabilistic beliefs. In such circumstances, it has been argued that the axioms of expected utility theory may not be the correct standard of rationality. By contrast, several axiomatic fra...
