This study investigates the relationship between environmental quality and economic growth in Asian countries. The findings from Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimator affirmed existence of a long-run development. higher growth, CO2 consumption. In short run, exacts no harmful impact. Researchers policymakers should be careful about effect rising incomes on pollution with prioritisation sustainable ...

Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there a fit the environmental Kuznets curve for Southern African development community (SADC) countries. To end, we estimate quadratic regression between greenhouse gas emissions (CO 2 , N 0, CH 4 ), per capita income and other controls, using pooled mean group (PMG) quantile autoregressive distributive lag (QARDL) models applied annu...

Abstract Nowadays, inertial confinement fusion (ICF) research related to noncontact positioning and transport of free-standing cryogenic targets is playing an increasingly important role in this field. The operational principle behind these technologies the magnetic acceleration levitating target carrier (or sabot) made from Type-II, high-temperature superconductors (HTSCs). physics interaction...

Macroalgae and filamentous turf algae (FTA) are abundant on degraded coral reefs, and the reproductive responses of corals may indicate sub-lethal stress under these conditions. The percentage of gametogenic stages (PGS) and the maximum diameter of eggs (MDE; or egg size) of Orbicella annularis were used to evaluate the effect of long- (7-10 months) and short-term (2.5 months) FTA removal (trea...

OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and safety of MK-0941, a glucokinase activator (GKA), when added to stable-dose insulin glargine in patients with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In this double-blind study, 587 patients taking stable-dose insulin glargine (±metformin ≥1,500 mg/day) were randomized (1:1:1:1:1) to MK-0941 10, 20, 30, or 40 mg or matching placebo t.i.d. before meals...

The accumulation of phytoalexins against microbial attacks is one of the im portant defense responses in higher plants [1, 2], The induction of the phytoalexins which is triggered after the recog­ nition of signal materials “elicitors” by plant cells is initiated at the transcription level of specific genes. Synthesis of specific enzymes results in the de novo activation of a secondary metaboli...
