Regulatory compliance and support for altered management of the exotic pet trade

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Globally, the exotic pet trade has contributed to species invasion, disease, and animal welfare risks. Although scientists have advocated for increased trade regulation, the success of management and regulatory efforts depends on compliance by participants in the exotic pet trade. We used a regulatory compliance framework to investigate exotic

Risk Disclosure as a Resilience Tool in Central Governments: Assessing Current Practices in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands

Financial Accountability &Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To be resilient, governments must quickly adapt their policies and working methods to new and uncertain situations. This article examines whether risk disclosure, as part of the anticipatory capacities of these organizations, can help identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.

Mergers and Acquisitions as Navigators of Climate Policy Shocks: Evidence from the NOx Budget Trading Program

Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine how mergers and acquisitions (M&As) enable firms to adapt to climate policy shocks. Exploiting the adoption of the Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) Budget Trading Program (NBP) across US states as an exogenous shock, we find that firms with NOx‐emitting plants subject to the NBP are more likely to engage in M&As, particularly through vertical ...

Investigation of multi-ion heat and neoclassical transport using new edge main ion measurements at ASDEX Upgrade

Nuclear Fusion
This study provides new insights into multi-ion heat transport and the validation of neoclassical theory at the edge of H-mode plasmas. Utilizing a high-resolution main ion charge exchange recombination spectroscopy system, the first characterization of ...

A general comparison between tokamak and stellarator plasmas

Matter and Radiation at Extremes, 2016
This paper generally compares the essential features between tokamaks and stellarators, based on previous review work individually made by authors on several specific topics, such as theories, bulk plasma transport and edge divertor physics, along with ...

Effects of the Invasive Round Goby on Swedish Recreational Fishing Values

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The round goby, an invasive fish from the Black and Caspian Seas, has spread to Swedish waters, threatening recreational fisheries. We modeled impacts on the future recreational fishery in Sweden using data from a recreational fishing survey, and estimated effects of the round goby on other fish species. Values attached to recreational fishing

Reduced electrostatic turbulence in the quasi-isodynamic stellarator configuration CIEMAT-QI4

Nuclear Fusion
CIEMAT-QI4 is a quasi-isodynamic stellarator configuration that simultaneously features very good fast-ion confinement in a broad range of β values, low neoclassical transport and bootstrap current, and ideal magnetohydrodynamic stability up to $\beta ...

The Legacy of Policy Inaction in Climate‐Growth Models

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To better understand the structure and core mechanisms of a broad class of climate‐growth models, we study a simplified version of the dynamic integrated model of climate and the economy (DICE) through the lens of growth theory. We analytically show that this model features a continuum of saddle‐point stable steady states.

STUDY OF L–H TRANSITION AND PEDESTAL WIDTH BASED ON TWO-FIELD BIFURCATION AND FIXED POINT CONCEPTS

Acta Polytechnica, 2015
The L–H transition in magnetic confinement plasmas is investigated on the basis of concepts of two-field bifurcation and fixed-point stability. A set of heat and particle transport equations with both neoclassical and anomalous effects included is used ...
