Do Energy Efficiency Investments Deliver at the Right Time?

American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, 2017
Most analyses of energy efficiency investments ignore that the value of electricity varies widely across hours. We show how much timing matters. Using novel hourly consumption data from an air conditioner rebate program in California, we find that energy

Beyond Life Years Lost, Using Different Outcomes for Population Modelling in Tobacco Harm Reduction

Contributions to Tobacco and Nicotine Research
Evaluating the reduced-risk potential of novel tobacco and nicotine products, as compared to cigarettes, requires consideration not only of individual risk but also the impact on the population as a whole.

Synchrotron Radiation for Quantum Technology

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Materials and interfaces underpin quantum technologies, with synchrotron and FEL methods key to understanding and optimizing them. Advances span superconducting and semiconducting qubits, 2D materials, and topological systems, where strain, defects, and interfaces govern performance.

Non Thermal‐Driven Photocatalytic Ammonia Decomposition at Near‐Room Temperature on a Plasmonic Nanocone Array

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Plasmonic photocatalytic ammonia decomposition occurs at near‐room temperature on a plasmonic Au nanocone array under visible light illumination. The nanostructure efficiently harnesses plasmonic modes, leading to increased reaction rates upon plasmon decay.

Brief Survey of Current Oral Tobacco and Nicotine Product Use in Sweden and Denmark

Contributions to Tobacco and Nicotine Research
Exclusive use of Swedish snus is associated with a reduction in associated health risks as compared with cigarette smoking. Similar to Swedish snus but without tobacco, modern oral nicotine pouches are smokeless nicotine products with the potential to ...

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

R&D Investments and Credit Lines

, 2017
Using data for 939 publicly listed firms from 17 European countries over the period from 2004 to 2013, we investigate the effect of used credit lines on R&D investments, controlling for other determinants of R&D investments, i.e., cash flows, cash ...
