China is by far the largest host of projects implemented under the Kyoto Protocol’s Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). However, earlier studies shed little light on the determinants of the distribution of CDM projects across Chinese provinces. Given China’s large size and political-economic diversity, this dearth of research is troubling. We provide an empirical analysis of 2,097 CDM projects i...

We study the geometry and topology of the large–scale structure traced by galaxy clusters in numerical simulations of a box of side 320 h Mpc, and compare them with available data on real clusters. The simulations we use are generated by the Zel’dovich approximation, using the same methods as we have used in the first three papers in this series. We consider the following models to see if there...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The perfusion-diffusion mismatch (PDM) model has been proposed as a tool to select acute stroke patients who are most likely to benefit from reperfusion therapy. The clinical-diffusion mismatch (CDM) model is an alternative method that is technically less challenging because it does not require perfusion-weighted imaging. This study is an evaluation of these 2 models in t...

Under the Kyoto Protocol, developing countries can voluntarily participate in climate change mitigation through the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), in which industrialized countries, in order to meet their mitigation commitments, can buy emission reduction credits from projects in developing countries. Before its implementation, developing-country experts opposed the CDM, arguing that it wou...

One of the most important issues of current physics relates to the presence of cosmological cold dark matter (CDM). In this paper CDM at the Galactic centre is modelled using a previously reformulated type of dynamic Newtonian advanced gravity (DNAg). This DNAg gives results which are technically exactly the same as the general theory of relativity (GTR), in the low and medium mass densities. H...

This paper introduces the collective data mining (CDM), a unique approach to distributed data mining (DDM) from heterogeneous sites. It points out that naive approaches to distributed data analysis in a heterogeneous environment may face ambiguous situation and may lead to incorrect global data model. It also observes that any function can be expressed in a distributed fashion using a set of ap...

We explore fundamental properties of the distribution of low-mass dark matter haloes within the cosmic web using warm dark matter (WDM) and cold dark matter (CDM) cosmological simulations. Using self-abundance-matched mock galaxy catalogues, we show that the distribution of dwarf galaxies in a WDM universe, wherein low-mass halo formation is heavily suppressed, is nearly indistinguishable to th...

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) allows industrialized countries to comply with the Kyoto Protocol by using carbon offsets from developing countries. There are two puzzles within this carbon market: additionality (the proposed activity would not have occurred in its absence) and co-benefits (the project has other environmental benefits besides climate mitigation). This paper proposes an ec...

AIM To describe the neonatal symptoms, developmental problems and chronic multisystem medical morbidities of congenital myotonic dystrophy (CDM) patients registered in the United States National Registry of Myotonic Dystrophy - a disease-specific, self-report program maintained since 2002. Comparisons with the Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program for CDM are highlighted. METHODS Genetical...
