A general equilibrium analysis of climate change impacts on tourism

2006

This paper studies the economic implications of climate-change-induced variations in tourism demand, using a world CGE model. The model is first re-calibrated at some future years, obtaining hypothetical benchmark equilibria, which are subsequently perturbed by shocks, simulating the effects of climate change. We portray the impact of climate change on tourism by means of two sets of shocks, occurring simultaneously. The first set of shocks translate predicted variations in tourist flows into changes of consumption preferences for domestically produced goods. The second set reallocate income across world regions, simulating the effect of higher or lower tourists' expenditure. Our analysis h…

Constructive Optimization of Vulcanization Installations in Order to Improve the Performance of Conveyor Belts

2019

Conveyor belts of special importance must have superior mechanical characteristics. The joining by vulcanization of the conveyor belts allows to obtain superior performances, but it has been found that at the vulcanizing joint of the conveyor belts, there is a &ldquo

Constitutive Models for the Tensile Behaviour of TRM Materials: Literature Review and Experimental Verification

2021

In recent years, the scientific community has focused its interest on innovative inorganic matrix composite materials, namely TRM (Textile Reinforced Mortar). This class of materials satisfies the need of retrofitting existing masonry buildings, by keeping the compatibility with the substrate. Different recent studies were addressed to improve the knowledge on their mechanical behaviour and some theoretical models were proposed for predicting the tensile response of TRM strips. However, this task is complex due to the heterogeneity of the constituent materials and the stress transfer mechanism developed between matrix and fabric through the interface in the cracked stage. This paper present…

Targeting fibroblast activation protein (FAP): next generation PET radiotracers using squaramide coupled bifunctional DOTA and DATA5m chelators

2020

Abstract Background Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a proline selective serine protease that is overexpressed in tumor stroma and in lesions of many other diseases that are characterized by tissue remodeling. In 2014, a most potent FAP-inhibitor (referred to as UAMC1110) with low nanomolar FAP-affinity and high selectivity toward related enzymes such as prolyl oligopeptidase (PREP) and the dipeptidyl-peptidases (DPPs): DPP4, DPP8/9 and DPP2 were developed. This inhibitor has been adopted recently by other groups to create radiopharmaceuticals by coupling bifunctional chelator-linker systems. Here, we report squaric acid containing bifunctional DATA5m and DOTA chelators relied on UAMC…

Inexpensive discrete atomistic model technique for studying excitations on infinite disordered media: the case of orientational glass ArN$_2$

2014

Excitations of disordered systems such as glasses are of fundamental and practical interest but computationally very expensive to solve. Here we introduce a technique for modeling these excitations in an infinite disordered medium with a reasonable computational cost. The technique relies on a discrete atomic model to simulate the low-energy behavior of an atomic lattice with molecular impurities. The interaction between different atoms is approximated using a spring like interaction based on the Lennard Jones potential but can be easily adapted to other potentials. The technique allows to solve a statistically representative number of samples with a minimum of computational expense, and us…

Disputas por el poder municipal y reforzamiento regio en el realengo valenciano. De la derrota agermanada a las cortes de 1604

2021

La introducción del procedimiento electoral de insaculación en buena parte de los municipios valencianos trató de justificarse por su virtualidad para erradicar o reducir la conflictividad generada por los tradicionales mecanismos de cooptación. Las disputas, sin embargo, no desaparecieron con el nuevo sistema y tuvieron oportunidad de expresarse en distintas fases de su aplicación. A partir del análisis de una amplia casuística se trata de mostrar las modalidades que adoptó, en el plano electoral, la pugna por el poder municipal en el marco de la insaculación durante el siglo xVI, así como su incidencia en el creciente fortalecimiento de los órganos y oficiales de la administración regia, …

Modeling of Melt Flow and Heat Transfer in Stationary Gas Tungsten Arc Welding with Vertical and Tilted Torches

2021

A 3D numerical simulation was conducted to study the transient development of temperature distribution in stationary gas tungsten arc welding with filler wire. Heat transfer to the filler wire and the workpiece was investigated with vertical (90°) and titled (70°) torches. Heat flux, current flux, and gas drag force were calculated from the steady-state simulation of the arc. The temperature in the filler wire was determined at three different time intervals: 0.12 s, 0.24 s, and 0.36 s. The filler wire was assumed not to deform during this short time, and was therefore simulated as solid. The temperature in the workpiece was calculated at the same intervals using heat flux, current flux, ga…
