High-containment biodefense research laboratories: meeting report and center recommendations.

75 ON JULY 11, 2006, THE CENTER for Biosecurity of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) convened an invitational meeting to discuss high-containment biodefense research in the United States. Our goal was to analyze whether and how the growing numbers of laboratories could be operated safely, productively, and with respect for the communities in which they are placed. The group was...

Uncertainty and energy saving investments

Energy costs are notoriously uncertain but what is the effect of this on energysaving investments? We find that real-option frictions imply a novel equilibrium response to increasing but uncertain energy costs: early investments are cautious but ultimately real-option frictions endogenously vanish, and the activity affected by higher energy costs fully recovers. We use electricity market data f...

High Energy All Sky Transient Radiation Observatory

The scientific discoveries made by H.E.S.S. during its first year of operation encourage a reexamination of the open problems in high energy astrophysics and of the capabilities of the atmospheric Cherenkov technique, which could be employed to address them. We report on an initial Monte Carlo exploration of a ground-based instrument for observing cosmologically distant high energy transient ph...
