ing from discount window shocks I first consider the case in which shocks emanating from the discount window, υ, are small enough to ignore. To remove the effects of ε from NBR, CEE make the following identification assumption: that aggregate output, y, and the aggregate price level, p, contemporaneously reflect the effects of ε, and not the effects of μ. Their a priori reasoning behind this cr...

A commercially available poly(vinyl butyral) (PVB) coating was modified using a combination of 1–10wt.% bis(trimethoxysilylethyl)benzene and dibutyltin dilaurate as the hydrolysis catalyst. Results of attenuated total reflectance (ATR)–FTIR analysis indicated the modification resulted in a hybrid coating material containing silicate moieties covalently bonded to the PVB polymer chains. Gravimet...

n,n-dichloropolystyrene sulfonamide as a decontaminant was synthesized in 5 steps from styrene monomer. styrene was first polymerized. then, sulfonation reaction was performed by h2so4 (c) followed by chlorination with pocl3 obtain chlorosulfonated polystyrene. amidification reaction was then applied to get sulfonamide resin. sulfonamide resin was treated with sodium hypochloride to obtain n,n-...

INTRODUCTION An excess of nitrates causes environmental pollution in receiving water bodies and health risk for human, if contaminated water is source of drinking water. The directive 91/676/ CEE [1] aims to reduce the nitrogen pressure in Europe from agriculture sources and identifies the livestock population as one of the predominant sources of surplus of nutrients that could be released in w...

In an economy with multiple consumption goods (including environmental amenities) that uniquely maximises the present value of utility with constant discounting, constant or falling augmented green net national product, or zero or negative augmented net investment, at any time implies that the economy is unsustainable then. "Augmented" means that time is treated as a productive stock, so augmen...
