Rebates that reward economic agents if they meet a minimum conservation threshold are popular policy to encourage energy conservation. However, most threshold-based rebates structured such do not reduction beyond the threshold. In this paper, I show theoretically programs with additional feature households compete win can effectively further among those who reduction. The theory also identifies...

This paper presents work in progress toward the development of the information retrieval (IR) evaluation measure – Information Problem Shiftwithin a theoretical framework and model for conceptualizing and researching information retrieval (IR) within an information seeking context. The theoretical model consists of a set of situated actions by information-seekers within interactive search sessi...

this paper discusses different important gas permeation models such as “maxwell”, “bruggeman”, “lewis-neilson”, and “pal” models to predict “mixed matrix membranes” (mmms) performance. the main parameter considered and discussed is the permeability of hydrogen on carbon nanotubes (cnts)-mmm. for evaluation of the theoretical models, experimental data of permeability for h2 were compared to the ...
