This paper reviews and discusses the debate over the effectiveness of environmental regulation in promoting industrial Technological Environmental Innovation (TEI). Using the innovation-friendly regulatory principles adapted from Porter and van der Linde (1995a, 1995b), this paper demonstrates how properly designed and implemented environmental regulation (TEI promoting regulation) has played a...

PURPOSE AND METHODS To investigate dietary habits of Flemish adolescent track and field athletes using a 7-d weighed-food record. Besides adequacy for growth, development, and physical performance, dietary health aspects were considered. RESULTS Twenty-nine girls and 31 boys, with minimum 2 yr of track and field training practice, were recruited. All participants had daily breakfast (girls 22...

The philosophy of "literate programming" (Knuth 1984), on which the TEI ODD is founded, proposes that code and documentation be written and maintained as a single integrated resource, from which both working programs and readable documentation can be generated. As currently designed, the TEI ODD system supports these goals, and there exist several good examples of extended project documentation...

In certain spaces using some distance measures, the sum of any two distances is always bigger than the third one. Such a special property is called as the tri-edge inequality (TEI). In this paper, the tri-edge inequality characterizing several binary distance measures is mathematically proven and experimentally verified, and the implications of TEI are discussed.

In vivo evaluation of the transmural extension of myocardial infarction (TEI) is crucial to prediction of viability and prognosis. With the rise of transgenic technology, murine myocardial infarction (MI) models are increasingly used. Our study aimed to evaluate systolic strain rate (SR), a new parameter of regional function, to quantify TEI in a murine model of acute MI induced by various dura...

Sugarcane, derived from the hybridization of Saccharum officinarum×Saccharum spontaneum, is a vegetative crop in which the final yield is highly driven by culm biomass production. Cane yield under irrigated or rain-fed conditions could be improved by developing genotypes with leaves that have high intrinsic transpiration efficiency, TEi (CO2 assimilation/stomatal conductance), provided this is ...
