This paper analyzes different policies that may promote the transition to sustainability, with particular focus on the energy sector. We present a dynamic simulation model where three different strategies for sustainability are identified: reduction in GHG emissions, improvements in energy efficiency and the development of the renewable energy sector. Our aim is to evaluate the dynamics that th...

The Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan has renewed debates on the safety of nuclear power, possibly hurting the role of nuclear power in efforts to limit CO2 emissions. I develop a dynamic economy-wide model of Taiwan with a detailed set of technology options in the power sector to examine the implications of adopting different nuclear power policies on CO2 emissions and the economy. Absent a ...

The longest common extension (LCE) problem is to preprocess a given string w of length n so that the length of the longest common prefix between suffixes of w that start at any two given positions is answered quickly. In this paper, we present a data structure of O(zτ + n τ ) words of space which answers LCE queries in O(1) time and can be built in O(n log σ) time, where 1 ≤ τ ≤ √ n is a parame...

Given the advent and spread of carbon assets, as well as the rapid development of financial markets and transactions related with them, this paper intends to achieve the objective of categorizing these phenomena and describing their main characteristics, in such a way that it can be used as a reference by those professionals and scholars who are interested in the fighting climate change through...

The evolution and diversification of cell types is a key means by which animal complexity evolves. Recently, hierarchical clustering and phylogenetic methods have been applied to RNA-seq data to infer cell type evolutionary history and homology. A major challenge for interpreting this data is that cell type transcriptomes may not evolve independently due to correlated changes in gene expression...

It aims to study the production and emission reduction decisions of enterprises under carbon constraints. In case constraints in production, manufacturers have four strategic choices: within quota, adopting technologies, purchasing rights, using technologies rights. Based on income model different strategies, first, condition maximizing interests enterprises, optimal profit, total emission, rat...
