Mixed-layer budgets of boundary layer mass, moisture, and liquid water static energy are estimated from 6 days of data collected at 20°S, 85°W (a region of persistent stratocumulus) during the East Pacific Investigation of Climate (EPIC) stratocumulus cruise in 2001. These budgets are used to estimate a mean diurnal cycle of entrainment and, by diagnosing the fluxes of humidity and liquid water...

The purpose of this article is to identify the long-term economic consequences mine decommissioning for five selected cities located in Poland Upper Silesian Coal Basin. It carried out over a period 18 years and covers 2003–2020. effects are examined context budgets where mining plants were closed. In course analyses, authors attempt answer following research questions: (1) has mines influenced...

We study online auction settings in which agents arrive and depart dynamically in a random (secretary) order, and each agent’s private type consists of the agent’s arrival and departure times, value and budget. We consider multi-unit auctions with additive agents for the allocation of both divisible and indivisible items. For both settings, we devise truthful mechanisms that give a constant app...

The need for accurate conditional-branch prediction is well known: mispredictions waste large numbers of cycles, inhibit out-of-order execution, and waste power on mis-speculated computation. Prior work on branch-predictor organization has focused mainly on how to reduce conflicts in the branch-predictor structures, while relatively little work has explored other causes of mispredictions. Some ...

The article examines the processes of decentralization based on analysis and evaluation financial capacity local budgets in order to systematize results previous reforms decentralization. deals with following coefficients capacity, which are grouped by areas: balance, budget efficiency and, calculation which, ultimately, it becomes possible calculate integrated indicator budgets. indicators for...

Between 2003 and April 2016, 37 of 47 prefectures (i.e., sub-national local governmental units) introduced forest environmental taxes—local payment for services (PES) schemes. These introductions are unique historical natural experiments, in which governments made their own political decisions considering multiple factors. This study empirically evaluates models that explain normalized expendit...

In 2018, local government units were obliged to prepare new documents every year – reports about the state of commune (poviat, voivodeship). Local acts generally describe which elements should be included in such a report. One highlighted element is participatory budget. The article aims present methodology reporting budgets on (for 2020, published 2021). Forty-one communes from area Metropolis...
