This paper examines the possible existence of an Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) relationship between China’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per capita (CO2/capita) and GDP per capita (GDP/capita) in 1980-2008. The timing of the turning point in China’s CO2/capita can be further estimated if an EKC relationship exists. In regression results, a natural logarithm-quadratic relationship was foun...

An algorithm is introduced that enables a fast generation of all possible prototropic tautomers resulting from the mobile H atoms and associated heteroatoms as defined in the InChI code. The InChI-derived set of possible tautomers comprises (1,3)-shifts for open-chain molecules and (1,n)-shifts (with n being an odd number >3) for ring systems. In addition, our algorithm includes also, as extens...
