Economic Compensation for Ecological Loss in Coal Producing

Occupational noise induced hearing loss in coal miners and coal washing factory workers in Kerman province

Introduction: The occupational noise induced hearing loss is one of the wide spread problems and a long term complication of working in noisy environments. At the present, large groups of workers who are working in noisy environments are exposed to hearing loss. So, this study is aimed to determine the prevalence of hearing loss (more than, 25 dB) of the workers in coal mines and leaching fac...

Counterintuitive Proposals for Trans-boundary Ecological Compensation Under ‘No Net Loss’ Biodiversity Policy

Article history: Received 19 October 2016 Received in revised form 23 February 2017 Accepted 12 June 2017 Available online xxxx ‘Nonet loss’ (NNL) policies involve quantifying biodiversity impacts associatedwith economic development, and implementing commensurate conservation gains to balance losses. Local stakeholders are often affected by NNL biodiversity trades. But to what extent are NNL pr...

Optimal compensation for neuron loss

The brain has an impressive ability to withstand neural damage. Diseases that kill neurons can go unnoticed for years, and incomplete brain lesions or silencing of neurons often fail to produce any behavioral effect. How does the brain compensate for such damage, and what are the limits of this compensation? We propose that neural circuits instantly compensate for neuron loss, thereby preservin...

Economic Growth and Coal Consumption in China

In this paper, we used the methods of cointegration and granger causality estimation to test the relationship between China’s coal consumption and real GDP based on the data of 1978~2010, the results show that the real GDP and coal consumption have no granger causality, and do not have a long run cointegration, which is different from the existing discovery. Because of following reasons, first ...
