We developed a new emission inventory for Asia (Regional Emission inventory in ASia (REAS) Version 1.1) for the period 1980–2020. REAS is the first inventory to integrate historical, present, and future emissions in Asia on the basis of a consistent methodology. We present here emissions in 2000, historical emissions for 1980–2003, 5 and projected emissions for 2010 and 2020 of SO 2 , NOx, CO, ...

Increased tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) cases have been reported in central Europe. To investigate temporal trends in the altitude at which TBE cases occur in Slovakia, we analyzed the number of TBE cases during 1961-2004. Since 1980, TBE cases moved from lowlands to submountainous areas, most likely because of rising temperature.

In this paper, it is argued that the college textbook market provides a clear example of monopoly seeking as described by Tullock (1967, 1980). This behavior is also known as rent seeking.

The superomedial thigh flap is a reliable and easy method for scrotal reconstruction described in 1980 and infrequently reported in the literature since its description. We used it for four patients presenting scrotal defects after Fournier's gangrene with some technical modifications to improve the esthetic results and to facilitate the closure of the donor area. We describe the technical step...

"AIDS" is a new clinical entity identified around 1980. There is a marked increase in the incidence of the disease in the USA. Since our country has a lot of interaction around the world, including the areas of occurrence of the disease and also that the risk factors and high risk group exist in our country there is a scare about the syndrome.

This article reports how the different steps of the MlBibTEX project were conducted until the first public release. We particularly focus on the problems raised by reimplementing a program (BibTEX) that came out in the 1980’s. Since that time, implementation techniques have evolved and new requirements have appeared, as well as new programs within TEX’s galaxy. Our choices are explained and dis...
