In this paper, we are examining the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) in context of a circular economy recycling model. Our model assumes that there only two factors production final good, recyclable and polluting input. We also present extensions basic by adding technological progress input dynamic reduction influence same respectively. results suggest presence an inverse-U for EKC confirming ...

Background Human adenovirus type 54 (HAdV-54) is a novel type of adenovirus that belongs to species D and has thus far been detected only in Japan in patients with epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC). There was a large nationwide outbreak of HAdV-54 EKC from 2015 to 2016 in Japan. The clinical characteristics of an outbreak of HAdV-54 conjunctivitis treated in a regional ophthalmic clinic in Fu...

In 2005, a human adenovirus strain (formerly known as HAdV-D22/H8 but renamed here HAdV-D53) was isolated from an outbreak of epidemic keratoconjunctititis (EKC), a disease that is usually caused by HAdV-D8, -D19, or -D37, not HAdV-D22. To date, a complete change of tropism compared to the prototype has never been observed, although apparent recombinant strains of other viruses from species Hum...

Between 1992 and 2003, the global area under preservation has increased 52.8%, such that the terrestrial proportion of the globe now protected is 11.5% (Chape et al. 2003). Since some countries protect more forest than others, we wish to explain this variation using a reduced-form model capable of suggesting whether the amount of forest a country preserves is related to economic and ecological ...

Our analysis focuses on a novel theoretical model which explains the relationship between pollution and output as well recycling in context of Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) framework. incorporates habit formation circular economy we find that EKC is characterized by downward sloping curve, while curve an increasing results are both agreement with general patterns these curves supported lite...

Kappa opioid agonists attenuate some neurochemical and behavioral effects of cocaine and are being considered as potential treatments for cocaine dependence. The present study examined the effects of two kappa opioid agonists, the benzomorphan ethylketocyclazocine (EKC) and the arylacetamide U50,488, on cocaine self-administration in rhesus monkeys. Monkeys responded for 0.032 mg/kg/injection c...

Abstract This study has examined the potential of exhausted kahwa coffee (EKC) as a precursor activated carbon (AC) to remove heavy metal ions, Cd 2+ and Zn from aqueous solution. The AC was by different activation methods using KOH, ZnCl 2 , H 3 PO 4 without agent. EKC sample impregnated with chemical agents ratio 1:1. Afterward, carbonization conducted at temperature 400°C for 60 minutes. rem...
