Testing Value vs Waiting Value in Environmental Decisions under Uncertainty
This paper introduces the concept of the Testing Value into the analysis of environmental decisions under uncertainty and irreversibility. This value emerges in situations where the probability of receiving information concerning future economic bene ts and costs of development depends on the level of development carried out. We show that when information may be acquired also exogenously, the T...
متن کاملRuminal fermentation of propylene glycol and glycerol.
Bovine rumen fluid was fermented anaerobically with 25 mM R-propylene glycol, S-propylene glycol, or glycerol added. After 24 h, all of the propylene glycol enantiomers and approximately 80% of the glycerol were metabolized. Acetate, propionate, butyrate, valerate, and caproate concentrations, in decreasing order, all increased with incubation time. Addition of any of the three substrates somew...
متن کاملA new route for the synthesis of propylene oxide from bio-glycerol derivated propylene glycol.
The synthesis of propylene oxide from propylene glycol, a derivative of bio-glycerol, was firstly realized in the presence of alkali-loaded silica catalysts to achieve 44% conversion and 70% selectivity.
متن کاملUncertainty analysis and global sensitivity analysis of techno-economic assessments for biodiesel production.
There are various uncertain parameters in the techno-economic assessments (TEAs) of biodiesel production, including capital cost, interest rate, feedstock price, maintenance rate, biodiesel conversion efficiency, glycerol price and operating cost. However, fewer studies focus on the influence of these parameters on TEAs. This paper investigated the effects of these parameters on the life cycle ...
متن کاملMetro Nature, Environmental Health, and Economic Value
BACKGROUND Nearly 40 years of research provides an extensive body of evidence about human health, well-being, and improved function benefits associated with experiences of nearby nature in cities. OBJECTIVES We demonstrate the numerous opportunities for future research efforts that link metro nature, human health and well-being outcomes, and economic values. METHODS We reviewed the literatu...
