'Paper mills': a detestable blot like no other

Supercritical carbon dioxide: a solvent like no other

Supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) could be one aspect of a significant and necessary movement towards green chemistry, being a potential replacement for volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Unfortunately, carbon dioxide has a notoriously poor solubilising power and is famously difficult to handle. This review examines attempts and breakthroughs in enhancing the physicochemical properties of ca...

Why Paper Mills Clean Up

Our thanks to the managers and staffs of our survey plants in Bangladesh, India, Indonesia and Thailand. This work would not have been possible without their generous donation of time and information. Funding for this study was provided by the World Bank's Research Support Budget under the study "Enterprise Ownership and Pollution" (RPO 677-44).

Tilting at the Paper Mills of Academe

Errant authors of empirical learning reports are often dashed to earth by editorial reviewers, who castigate them for trivial departures from the orthodox associative paradigms subserving a vacuous general-process notion, which allows no consideration of specialized structures in humans or in beasts. Paradigmatic illustrations of immediate reinforcement were not subjected to the same zealous sc...

Working Paper No

This paper analyses growth for a sample of 624 firms located in three English counties. Using 52 variables, heteroskedasticity adjusted OLS is used to estimate their role in generating growth in new firms for the period 2000 to 2001 and for 1997 to 2001. Summary statistics show constrained founders own slightly more businesses; make greater use of external finance and are equally like to surviv...
