Declining Discount Rates: Evidence from the UK [PDF]
We estimate schedules of declining discount rates for cost benefit analysis in the UK. We highlight the importance of model selection for this task and hence for the evaluation of long-term investments, namely climate change prevention and nuclear build ...

Optimal Rotation under Continually – or Continuously – Declining Discount Rate [PDF]
, 2017 It has been argued from a number of perspectives that the discount rate might decline with increasing period of discounting. With a stepped profile of decline, financially optimal rotations are quite likely to occur at a few discrete ages.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study unveils a novel antibacterial mechanism against MRSA, in which the compound Py‐27 selectively targets and inhibits aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase), a key enzyme in pyrimidine synthesis. This inhibition disrupts DNA replication, induces oxidative damage, leading to potent bactericidal activity.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.An attention‐based multimodal deep learning framework is developed to predict the creep life of Ni‐based superalloys by fusing processing parameters with microstructural micrographs. The model achieves high accuracy (R2 = 0.92), aligns with metallurgical principles by capturing δ‐phase influence, and incorporates uncertainty quantification, offering a ...

Chemical Bond‐Orchestrated Energy Depletion to Augment Lung Cancer Chemo‐Immunotherapy
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study grafted dichloroacetic acid (DCA) into perylenediimide (PDI) skeleton via ionic or covalent bond to create novel metabolic agent PDIC‐AC and PDIC‐NAC, explicitly elaborated the underlying energy metabolism and therapeutic mechanism, and developed a promising strategy for energy metabolism‐targeting chemo‐immunotherapy by chemical bond ...

Determining the Discount Rate for Government Projects [PDF]
Discount rates are widely used in the public sector to assess policy proposals where costs and benefits accrue over long time periods. Socially optimal policy choices require an appropriate choice of discount rate.

China's Low‐Carbon Energy Transition Over the Past Two Decades: Experiences and Implications
Advanced Science, EarlyView.China's low‐carbon energy transition features a brief decline and subsequent rebound in coal consumption, alongside the rapid expansion of renewable energy. This study develops a stage‐based analytical framework to explain this evolution from the perspectives of economic development, energy security, and environmental sustainability, revealing how ...

A social discount rate for Turkey [PDF]
ocial Discount Rate (SDR) is a very crucial policy parameter in public project appraisals due to its resource allocation impacts. This study estimates an SDR for Turkey using the Social Time Preference Rate (STPR) approach. The elasticity of the marginal
