Recent ASDEX Upgrade research in support of ITER and DEMO [PDF]

, 2015
Recent experiments on the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak aim at improving the physics base for ITER and DEMO to aid the machine design and prepare efficient operation. Type I edge localized mode (ELM) mitigation using resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) has

CEO's Early‐life Experience of Disasters and Corporate Environmental Performance

Abacus, EarlyView.
We investigate the nexus between the early‐life disaster experiences of chief executive officers (CEOs) and their firms’ environmental performance metrics. We hypothesize that first‐hand experience of the adversities of natural disasters in the formative years of a CEO can catalyze a transformation in their environmental cognizance and perspective ...

Synergetic effects of collisions, turbulence and sawtooth crashes on impurity transport [PDF]

, 2016
This paper investigates the interplay of neoclassical, turbulent and MHD processes, which are simultaneously at play when contributing to impurity transport. It is shown that these contributions are not additive, as assumed sometimes.

Isotope and density profile effects on pedestal neoclassical transport

, 2017
Cross-field neoclassical transport of heat, particles and momentum is studied in sharp density pedestals, with a focus on isotope and profile effects, using a radially global approach.

Rethinking the contract‐failure theory

American Business Law Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The contract‐failure theory posits that the nonprofit form can be an indicator of high product quality because the nondistribution constraint reduces the nonprofit manager's financial benefits from cheating. This would give nonprofits an advantage over for‐profit firms when consumers cannot determine product quality and thus explains ...

Analysis of Radial Electric Field Bifurcation in LHD Based on Neoclassical Transport Theory

Journal of Plasma and Fusion Research, 2003
Radial electric field (Er) properties in LHD have been investigated based on the neoclassical transport theory and have also been applied to LHD experimental results. The effects of the helicity of the magnetic configuration on the condition required to realize the electron root are examined.

Farmers' pro‐social motivations and willingness‐to‐accept in markets with public goods

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract To explain how some farmers' decisions may diverge from profit‐maximization, we incorporate proactive social preferences for public goods in an expected utility framework, in addition to reactive risk preferences to uncertainty. We offer empirical evidence that proactive preferences influence farmers' decisions alongside reactive preferences ...

Relativistic neoclassical radial fluxes in the 1/nu regime

, 2013
The radial neoclassical fluxes of electrons in the 1/nu regime are calculated with relativistic effects taken into account and compared with those in the non-relativistic approach.

Envisioning the Future of Work: From Ideas to Reforms

British Journal of Industrial Relations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Two different theoretical perspectives concerning technology and the future of work are examined. One is linked to mainstream economics, whereas the other is associated with critical (‘post‐work’) discourse. Ideas about work—its nature and impacts on well‐being—matter in both perspectives.

Frisch Elasticity, Directed Technical Change, and Automation: A Unified Framework for Wage Polarization and Skill Premium Dynamics

Bulletin of Economic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how labor‐supply responsiveness, captured by the inverse Frisch elasticity, shapes wage inequality in the presence of directed technical change and automation. We develop a dynamic general equilibrium model with task‐based production, heterogeneous labor, and endogenous R&D.
