a r t i c l e i n f o This paper applies principal component analysis to investigate the linkages, or dominant co-fluctuation patterns, of per capita carbon dioxide emissions across countries for the time period 1950–2000. Energy resource world markets are investigated as an offsetting mechanism possibly coordinating emission fluctuations between countries. The results of the analysis provide e...

Burning coal to generate electricity is one of the key sources of atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions; so, targeting coal-fired power plants offers one of the easiest ways of reducing global carbon emissions. Given that the world’s largest economies all rely heavily on coal for electricity production, eliminating coal combustion is not an option. Indeed, coal consumption is likely to increase ...

Ammonia emission from animal facilities is a world-wide research focus area, because ammonia is a nuisance for the external environment. It is therefore important to know how ammonia emissions depend on various factors, such as animal activity and ventilation rate. The objective of this paper is to show the impact of animal activity on the variation of the diurnal ammonia emission in controlled...
