Hot Spots Regulation and Environmental Justice
This paper analyzes whether regulating “hot spots” of toxic air pollution by increasing the spatial resolution of regulation could address environmental justice (EJ) concerns. To examine this question, this paper develops a decision model of a regulator choosing emission controls within a net cost minimizing framework. An empirical application of the model using air toxic emission data for Esca...
متن کاملHot Spots for Allosteric Regulation on Protein Surfaces
Recent work indicates a general architecture for proteins in which sparse networks of physically contiguous and coevolving amino acids underlie basic aspects of structure and function. These networks, termed sectors, are spatially organized such that active sites are linked to many surface sites distributed throughout the structure. Using the metabolic enzyme dihydrofolate reductase as a model ...

Hot spots are anomalous areas of surface volcanism that cannot be directly associated with plate tectonic processes. The term hot spot is used rather loosely. It is often applied to any long-lived volcanic center that is not part of the global network of mid-ocean ridges and island arcs. The classic example is Hawaii. Anomalous regions of thick crust on ocean ridges are also considered to be ho...

With improvements in housing, environmental management, access to antimalarial drugs (quinine, followed by chloroquine), and use of the insecticide DDT, malaria was driven from Europe, North America, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Building on these early successes, the World Health Organization launched the f...
