and the turbine blade overheating. In this study, modification of the turbine and compressor to avoid a decrease in the … surge margin and overheating was simulated, and the result was compared with the case without modification. The entire IGCC … dilution nitrogen can mitigate the two problems without component modification but inevitably cause a considerable performance …

Why homeowners’ documentation went missing under the Home Affordable Mortgage Program (HAMP)?: An analysis of strategic behavior of homeowners and servicers

Karikari, John A. - In: Journal of Housing Economics 22 (2013) 2, pp. 146-162

This study investigated why documentation of certain homeowners who participated in the trial period plan (TPP) of HAMP went missing using a model of strategic behavior of homeowners and servicers. I found that the likelihood of cancellation of the TPP for missing documentation was higher for...

Impact of alternative information requirements on the coexistence of genetically modified (GM) and non-GM oilseed rape in the EU

Breustedt, Gunnar; Latacz-Lohmann, Uwe; … - In: Ecological Economics 93 (2013) C, pp. 104-115

We use spatial simulation techniques to estimate both cross pollination damages and net producer benefit from genetically modified (GM) oilseed rape under alternative information requirements about individual farmers' cropping plans. Simulations were carried out for two study regions in Germany....

Dominos in the dairy: An analysis of transgenic maize in Dutch dairy farming

Groeneveld, Rolf A.; Wesseler, Justus; Berentsen, Paul B.M. - In: Ecological Economics 86 (2013) C, pp. 107-116

EU member states require farmers growing transgenic maize to respect a minimum distance from fields with non-transgenic maize. Previous studies have theoretically argued that such minimum distance requirements may lead to a so-called ‘domino effect’ where farmers who want to grow transgenic...

Made to Measure: Options for Emissions Accounting under the UNFCCC

Prag, Andrew; Hood, Christina; Barata, Pedro Martins - Environment Directorate, Organisation de Coopération … - 2013

Mitigation pledges put forward by countries under the UNFCCC process are "made to measure" in that they are tailored to fit each country's individual circumstances. However, the pledges also need to be made to be measured so that we have a full understanding of how the various commitments add up...
