The representative concentration pathways: an overview
This paper summarizes the development process and main characteristics of the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs), a set of four new pathways developed for the climate modeling community as a basis for long-term and near-term modeling experiments. The four RCPs together span the range of year 2100 radiative forcing values found in the open literature, i.e. from 2.6 to 8.5 W/m. The RCPs...
متن کاملProduction Flexibility and Investment under Uncertainty
This paper extends the theory of real options, which mainly considers the problem of timing of investment, by letting the firm choose also the quantity produced after the time of investment. Under the conditions of irreversible investment and uncertainty in future demand, the firm can adjust its output quantity at each point in time in the future. Our paper shows that changing the structure of ...

متن کاملNematodes Which Challenge Global Wheat Production
1) Effects of cereal cyst (Heterodera) and rootlesion (Pratylenchus) nematodes on wheat are difficult to identify and control. Symptoms are non-specific and easily confused with stress from nutrient deficiency, drought, or disease. 2) Multiple species of Heterodera and Pratylenchus are capable of damaging wheat. Identification of species is difficult and procedures based on comparative morpholo...
متن کاملThe impact of climate change on heat-related mortality in six major cities, South Korea, under representative concentration pathways (RCPs)
