We consider the invertibility (injectivity) of a nonparametric nonseparable demand system. Invertibility of demand is important in several contexts, including identi…cation of demand, estimation of demand, testing of revealed preference, and economic theory exploiting existence of an inverse demand function or (in an exchange economy) uniqueness of Walrasian equilibrium prices. We introduce the...

Internationally, breast cancer mortality is correlated with intestinal lactase sufficiency and dairy product consumption beyond childhood. Within the United States, age-adjusted breast cancer mortality is positively associated with consumption of milk, butter, and total milk fat in regional analyses, and it is associated with milk demand in state-based analyses. Breast cancer mortality is also ...

Abstract The applicability of pyrones as a bioorthogonal platform was explored in inverse-electron-demand Diels–Alder (IEDDA) reactions with strained cyclooctyne. Studies showed that the are indeed suitable for IEDDA under physiological conditions. Furthermore, stable pyrone moiety could be utilized to construct easily accessible fluorogenic probes. Mutual orthogonality reaction 2-pyrones SPAAC...

This paper describes development of an inverse building model and its application in studying the performance of a demand-limiting (DL) control strategy. The demand-limiting strategy involves precooling (PC) a building during unoccupied times, maintaining the zone temperature setpoints at the lower limit of comfort during off-peak, occupied periods, and then limiting the peak cooling rate to a ...

Textile dye industry waste is one of the most serious problems in the environment. The dye wastes are severely deleterious to surface water bodies. The present study was an attempt for the assessment of different physicochemical parameters such as pH, temperature, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Solids (TS), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), ...

There is recent trend of providing additional treatment of wastewater beyond tertiary level. The purpose is to refine water to a quality that is safe for reuse for unrestricted irrigation and other non potable uses. For this purpose Kuwait has built and operated an advanced wastewater treatment plant with present capacity of 500,000 m/d. This plant providing treatment beyond tertiary utilizes t...
