In this study we analyze the relationship between heat events and mortality in Germany. The main research questions are: Does heat lead to rising mortality and if yes, are the eects persistent or compensated for in the near future? Furthermore, we consider dierences between heat eects in urban...

This paper develops a conceptual framework that can explain why economic development goes along with increases in body weight and obesity rates. We first introduce the concept of novelty consumption, which refers to an increase in food availability due to trade or innovation. Then we study how...

Using coherent inelastic neutron scattering we have investigated the phonon dispersion relation of bulk hexagonal 6H-SiC. The complete set of phonon branches has been determined along the Γ−A and 14 out of 36 branches along the Γ−M direction. The experimental data are compared to ab initio...
